CONGRATULATIONS SNOWCONE AND BLAISE FOR WINNING DUTTON RALLY VICTORIA 2007!

After finishing 2nd outright in the Dutton Rally Western Australia a few weeks back, Snowy and Blaise have done one better this time and stormed the field in this years Dutton Rally Victoria!

SAU-Vic had a strong representation at Dutton this year and I can only imagine next year there will be more giving it a righteous shot.

It was a fantastic effort by the guys and girl considering some of the competition who had bottomless pit budgets and easy access to overnight parts from around the world (well, maybe not).

Breaking it down:

Outright Crew:

Snowflake/Blaise - 1st

Other outright results unavailable as the Dutton site screwed up their linking to the results.

Outright Driver:

Snowmobile - 2nd

Scotsman - 14th

Bellsy - 29th

Brisby - 38th

Golgo - 43rd

Outright Co-Driver:

Blaise - 1st

Handbags - 22nd

BigBird - 35th

Juz - 43rd

Handicap:

Bellsy/BigBird - 4th

Brisby/Juz - 7th

Golgo/Richard Andrews - 18th

Rookie:

Bellsy/BigBird - 3rd

Special mention to Scotsman and Handbags for finishing so high in the standings considering the mechanical failure suffered on Friday up in Shepperton which stopped them from competing in a number of the events!

Bris and Juz went hard in the RB20 and put on a great show! Bellsy's Sil80 kicked ass as a drift machine and showed a lot of the more expensive machines out there that racing isn't just about having an expensive car. James looked the part in the Aston Martin Vantage but unfortuantely the clutch (and front bar) wasn't up to hardships of a Dutton weekend but finished in fine form looking very latte everywhere he went.

Congrats guys

It was good seeing you cut loose out there :P

I have some pics from the event **HERE**

Congrats again and it was a good showing from everyone that turned up to cheer on the guys and girl competing :)

Awesome result guys!!!!

Leewah - according to the Dutton results Blaise come first in outright co-driver....

Snowy did an awesome job, how the hell did Gazzard beat him outright???

I thought it was in the bag....

Regardless it was a top effort, and well done to rest who had a go, Ryan/Bigbird big congrats to you guys for doing an awesome job first time out!!!!

I also saw that on the website last night and would be interested to know.

Also how does the handicap category work?

Fantastic result to Snowman and Blaise, you both worked hard for it with track days/events in each others cars. Outstanding effort guys.

Well done to everyone else with Bigbird/Littlebird combo being rookies and doing so well, Juz and Bris in the crazy silver bullet, James in the Aston and Scotbags for pulling those results off after such an unfortunate weekend mechanically!

BTW - There was almost a prime photo opportunity as Juz went to drive the ACRA final course. Just about to roll up to the start gate and she went to pass her handbag out the window to...........................

Handbags!

but it went back behind the seat :D

Well done again all, top effort by everyone :worship:

Of course Snow plough and Blaise, huge congrats. Handbags and Chris...hard luck :D

But Ryan and Jarrod, getting the results you two did in the little 180SX...you punted it very well and deserved the class win and strong overall standing.

I so hope the cameras were rolling at Winton, the pass on the Fezz was soo fun, even of it did hurt the lap times a little

Now to find the next Winton and Sandown track day :worship:

Ok...so my turn. Whilst Juz and i didnt win, 7th Team Handicapped Outright (not blue parking permit handicapped but not far off) was tops considering Juz had to surrender Friday afternoon runnig with a cracked rotor and much of Friday was spent driving/conserving the cracked rotor.

But despite us not setting the world on fire i had a blast...which would not have been possible without Team Support Mav and Bec. Troy over at MCR for donating his time helping with getting things ready on the car and coming up with a better Dutton Sticker then Snowie. And the important late night messages! :(

Tom for the Friday night run with new rotors. Racepace for actually making my car handle but still entertaining to drive...and of course the reliability i am seeing from the engine with the wick turned up.

Starbucks (Tony) for lending me the STI for some running around and for giving the unti a clean up despite it beign all my car crap over the living room :D Jack for the fuel drums. Marcus (Ronin09 for donating some top shelf brakes pads to the cause...and

... and Juz for giving my car hell and sounding so damn good every step of the way. Getting out of the car shaking like a leaf after every run....helping with oil changes...not slapping me too hard when i ran from the camera crew (From now on i shall be known as "Doesnt do interviews Troy"). But generally making for a fun weekend away, and hopefully forgiving her team mate for a vice or two :worship:

But done and dusted.... til next year!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
