Well its not long now till the Vic leg of the Dutton Rally!

The event is based in and around Central Victoria (Shepparton and Winton) but makes it's way back to town on the Sunday for events at Essendon Airport and Sandown Racecourse.

This year i believe we have 5 teams!! if there is more from vic let us know!

Snowy and Blaise in Smaug #34

Thompson and Adz in the 33 - #38

Troy and Juz in the silver bullet - (mr & mrs spin-gate)

Ryan and Jarrod in the Sil80 #31

James and Richard in the baby Aston

Brisby will no doubt be entering, he just needs a co-driver. (If you know the front from the back of a car and your liver works ok you may be in with a chance!)

With just over 4 weeks to go and the money tree drying up fast, its time to make redicuous beer bets to get us in the mood!...

Hope to see the Sau Cheer Squad out there, we seemed to have the biggest support group last year, lets do it again!

LOL...all the beautiful ppl have run off with their fancy toys, not really srurpised James has turned his back on Team32. Though he found some pace in the Aston. I cant really call it team 32 anymore when there is only me >_< But, i have a few lines in the water, and around Monday may call to see that if i enter i can be pulled in the first group with you guys.

So Ray, Jack...anyone?

Team 32 was far too talented for the likes of me.

The Aston has a button marked 'do rather well' - right next to the martini holder - no skill required.

But yes - Richard and I will be there again. Looking forward to it :D

We've donated the Hummer to Mossy as the official support vehicle - and have the Aston booked to do it... but Richard is toying with the idea of entering in the Arnage. A 6.75L twin turbo land yacht - cones ahoy!

Of all the cars you have access to that is the most stupid one with the exception of the one you've given to Mossy. Was Tim that pissed with you winning a trophy in NSW that he really wants to make sure you don't win another one? Doesn't he realise the best way to make sure you don't win one is to say give you the GT3 where the competition will be so high you'll get your ass kicked :D

Anyways - the Vic event schedule has been released. Pretty similar to last year except they now reckon we'll run the events at Winton twice rather than once (If we do it'll be a LONG day) and we no longer do the Essendon Carpark (which sucks but I can understand why) - so all cars all day Sunday at Sandown with apparently another new Auto-test thrown in somewhere.

I suppose we are just unlucky that tracks are lined with armco. If it was just trees we would be fine. I mean, if there were trees around the perimeter of a track some would be in real trouble :(

Just got an email...there are still vacancies. Bought my 3rd Brembo brake setup last night complete with rears. So car could be ready, just need Ray, Jack or Riverdance to say the word. Gettign there will be the hard bit. beating the Spinning Scotsman and Poof the Smoking Dragon will be the easy part! :D

Well Brisby the one thing I can say is I won't be silly enough to make any 58-0 bets this year (or for this year it'll be 66-0).

The new class structure means you could have a lot of fun if you made it. Infact I reckon you'd be a damn good show for not only winning Class RSB but for possible outright handicap honours.

Infact I'd give you a better chance of bringing home some silverware than a certain other white car thats entering....

Jarrod you have been driving too many exotics dude, you won't know what to do when you get into the Sil... probably just cruise round the cones at 5km/h with the windows down, sunnies on, fat arming it, reving it out in neutral haha :O

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
