I'll have some photos by the end of the week. I have close to 5,000 to go through. I should be able to get a few done tonight that i'll post up.

haha 5000..you like punishing yourself when it comes time to go through them, dont you?

nice one guys. instead of sabotaging snowys car i thought some rain might do the trick...

6.5fps is not your friend when it comes time for PP.

Great work Team Cheaterer GTRs. Considering the elements it was an out of this world effort to be where you are in the results. If it was dry or semi dry for some more events i think you would have been in a higher position.

And top work to Pete, easily the most excitable Dutton entrant of 2008

[Ant97GTR]

Great work guys....top results and as usual you've flown the SAUVIC flag high

[evade]

6.5fps is not your friend when it comes time for PP.

i think i'll stick to the lower fps mode next time.

too much shit to wade through in the end and WAYY too time consuming..

and PP? you joking..

[phunky_monkey]

Hey guys

WHAT A WEEKEND!

Man, Dutton is a great event, lots of fun, lots of car talk and even more smack talk.

I ended up taking out 1st Rookie Co-Driver which is pretty cool. To the best of my knowledge I'm the ONLY SAU person to have one of them....... mind you it's only been around for a couple of years, so that's probably why.

Jeff and I were in 8th position outright on the first day, and I think we dropped off a little to about 11th on the second, mainly because it was pissing down and we seem to have gotten some really shocking conditions on some of our runs.

Day three we went to Sandown and I popped my cherry there in the pissing rain. Nothing like coming up the back straight at 200 kph in teh wet, with barely any knowledge of the circuit, but the GTR stuck firm and simply needed a gentle brake foot!!!

Jeff and I ran almost identical times on many of the events which shows that we were driving the GTR to it's limits, so maybe next year we will use a better mouse trap

Jeff did however beat me more times than I beat him, so I guess that means he's still faster than me..... I guess.

All in all, I had a ripper weekend, and I added many more car sounds to my already impressive collection.

Yes, there was drift, yes there was blazing power slides and yes, I enjoyed every second of it.

Yes, there was also a breakage in teh GTR, the good old front diff had a fit and smashed itself. It had been picking up the wheels and spinning them all day in the wet and we think it just wore out eventually on a launch at Bombardier carpark.

Luckily I had enough of a points lead to end up winning my Rookie by 70 points which is a fairbit I suppose.

Thanks to Jeff for letting me loose in what is a pretty complete and fast car, all it needs to be even quicker is a handbrake that works and a tail that's a little more happy. But it's a Targa car after all.

The purple one however, is not

BASS OUT

Jarrod.... Where are those photos of me in Jeff's car !!!!

[Mean_R34]

Nice work to you all! Well done Pete! Where's the vids ppl???

SAU is obviously a force to fear.

I spotted the Beable GTR yesterday arvo on Cantebury/Wantirna Rd's, all stickered up.

Pete did a great job for his first Duttons

Not sure he knew how competitive this event is

how ever the 63 year old granddad still won 21 events to Pete's 13

Maybe next year

thanks Pete for a fun three day

and I promise to open the windows next time the odors build up too much
