E-mail me what you would like, at $1 per photo, and I will send out an invoice and pics.
that is a great shot..id be damn happy with that....
That's the tightest track I've ever driven on.🙄.... Just wish the car had been more friendly. After finding the problem on Thursday afternoon [thanks go to Wayne Penrose for his 'diagnosis'], and gluing the broken intake manifold back together, Friday was much better. Although not running well, it was at least drivable. Thanks also to Wayne for kindly offering a drive of his car 👍.
As this was my first Valla [and hopefully not my last], I did not know what to expect. Unbelievably HUGE, and the Nambucca display was mind-boggling.
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!
Well Valla's been and gone, and racing was AWESOME... perfect weather, a great tight little track and nothing but Volksy's runnin round it... what more could anyone ask for ???
Big thumbs up to Luke, Jan and the rest of the crew for putting on a great event !!!
👍👍👍

I had a great day racing Bluey. Thanks to Luke, Daimo, Onion, Stephen, Wayne, Dave and all the other competitors and spectators, your all guilty of inspiration. I had a ball. I was sooo tempted to race again on Friday but was glad to enjoy it from the sideline, with a new perspective of the track, and a complete car to drive home in.
In all the years of enjoying Valla, I haven't competed in a driving event since the days of the motorkahna on the grass.
Bluey ran a 2.09 best on my third lap, as the times progressively improved, until the last lap when a front suspension adjuster decided to self adjust on the first corner.....from then on, I had all of about 30mm under the pan and found turning a little ....interesting.
