Ipra Round 1

[Bozman1]

I know we are changing the topic, but Amaroo was awesome. The whole complex was fantastic.

I remember having an intense battle with Gary (sydneykid) in our two 1970 odd model Honda civic on Amaroo dirt circuit back in the late 80's. We were 1st and 2nd outright throughout the whole day against big horse power machines. Each time one of us would go out we would pip the other for first. Gary got me by a tenth of a second in the end on the very last run of the day.

Awesome to have experienced stuff like that

And if you ever got the chance to race at Catalina in Katoomba (circuit is still there) you would have felt certain parts of your anatomy tightening as you drove around it. It was one of those circuits that required full commitment.

Nice memory Boz, I still have that trophy, somewhere in the cabinet, probably needs polishing.

I always liked Amaroo dirt circuit, I have a few FTD's from there. I think it was my most successful venue on a wins versus attempts basis. I engineered the car that held the record at Amaroo before Boz knocked it off, so I guess we are about square.

Ahh Catalina, in winter, with the fog in the air and moss growing on the circuit. That was a sphincter tightening experience.

Cheers

Yep in for beers

[Merli]

I'm keen to head down...

Is Saturday the preferred day for an SAU cheer-squad visit?

[Duncan]

I'm still not confirmed and entries have closed - so unless they accept late I am out of luck.

sunday is probably better to watch, sat will be qualifying + race 1 but sunday will be race 2 + race 3

[N1GTR]

Merli - id say so

[Duncan]

bugger I am out. car will not be ready.

which means the whole season is a write off (or practice at least).

sometimes cars suck

[Risking]

have you totally missed the entry??

[Duncan]

car not ready, targetted scruitiny not done, entry date missed, and no tyres. One or two of those I could sort out but not all 4.

Will be in for Eastern Creek late may instead - but it means I have no chance for the championship this year.

[Bozman1]

Just hurry up and get the thing finished Dunc

[Duncan]

hey its not like I haven't been busy - I'm about to start building my 3rd motor for the year. And I've had the motor in and out 4 times in 4 months!

I need a bloody workshop to do it all. Or even a hoist would be nice.

[Duncan]

wow I'm a whinging bitch aren't I

[Beer Baron]

I'll still cheer for ya dunc. you never know the season may not be a write off yet. just win ever race from EC onwards and you should be sweet. piece of cake. lol.

[Duncan]

nah not a chance in production cars - it is class based so if you don't do every round there will be someone from another class that will. Class A have the advantage since there is a bonus point for fastest lap (or pole I can't remember).

But I'll still get out there to cause trouble for the rest of the year
