bit of a horrible start to the year with only 7 cars involved.

there are roughly 10 - 16 cars that aren't there this weekend due to Clipsal preparation and an endurance race at EC.

calder is expecting much higher grid sizes

ok the series is starting to slowly build up.

calder had some great racing that was shown on SBS last sunday a race long battle between a 993 GT2 and a Ac cobra kit car trading places 2 times a lap, made for some great viewing.

some more interesting cars are starting to appear out of the woodwork and Winton should see a GTR if not 2, as well as a F*&^ING GREAT car currently en route to Australia (not that i'm excited)

Yep, was at this round at calder spectating, very exciting to watch, that orange cobra had some mumbo down the straight!!!!! But the Porsche had him in the corners, they changed positions 20 times in the ten lap race and the cobra won by a tenth of a second over the porsche after ten laps....

The cobra is a Python built by George Vidovick, its been around awhile, was raced in margue sports with success. post-35252-1176330777.jpeg

Porsche competitor John Kaias is said to be looking at a GT3 spec Aston Martin. AFAIK no decision has been made yet and certainly nothing official. - ten tenths forum

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
