Hey Dominic,

Great idea, have you entered one of these before?

Provided my car is together I'll be entering this next year.

When I was at Eastern Creek this morning, the East Coast classic rally was on, they are now allowing modern cars to enter as well. Looked tops, they ran the figure 8 skidpan and EC track this morning, then were driving up to Bathurst to do a couple of laps there - it would be a top few days out!

ohh babay i would love to do that but alas i have no car

[Dominic]

Yes Ive done the Grand Prix rally last two years. photos on

Im not the guy naked in bed...

Guys Im always looking for a navigator as my wife can only make a few rallies a year.

I was entered in the East coast classic but the RTA (bastards) didnt approve my GTiR race car on time.

Have a look at these sites for info on this event around $1,600 for one driver and $1,900 if you have two drivers for one car.

Also included a link for photos from the recent event in VIC

Hey Dominic-Ben Gibson here. You just pop up everywhere don't you?

I take it you're pretty happy with your new GT-R.

Just a word to the wise-steer clear of that Fatz guy-he's a bloody menace.

Watch out for Duncan too-i think he likes little boys.

So you'll be giving the GTR a shakedown at EC skidpan on the 21st? I'll see you there.

[Duncan]

hey ben, you've got fatz and I mixed up!

[Duncan]

Dominic, I understood both the driver and co-driver oculd compete in the Dutton rallies, shouldn't be too hard to find someone to fang around with you lol

[Dominic]

Thats the way the Dutton works. Driver and co-driver. The same course is undertaken with each person driving by themselves and at the end of the comp. prize for best driver, prize for best co-driver and prize for for best combined. Its a lot of fun for a small amount of money about $1k each.

That includes food but not accomodation or beer (add another $1k for beer)

I have competed a few years in the GP rally with my STi (www.grandprix.com.au) which used to be called the Dutton Rally.

Hi ben yes I have the GTiR, GTR, VB commodore, Nissan Stanza so I belong to groups with each. Not booked into 21 EC skid pan.

Hi Duncan.. Navigators-co-drivers are extremely hard to find as most people say yeah Id love it.. then when they hear License required, need to take a few days off work, you pay half entry, accomodation and beer. I pay all car costs (Except you smash it you own it or fix it) then they start to think twice.

[Duncan]

hopefully not too far off topic, but what is the license required for these rallies as a driver/co-driver. R4? I see that Targa Tas requires an R5 which is a bit of a pain...

[Dominic]

racing licenses are an interesting topic and everyone should get one so I might start a new topic and give the info on that.

[Duncan]

don't worry, cancel that, checked the sup regs, requires L2 or L2s which is just a sprint license. You may have a pair in a skyline to keep you honest......

and CAMS license thread is here:

[red900ss]

/me puts on thinking cap

[fatz]

do it red dunkan and i need some more SAU guys/girls (preferably girls) to go in the event

pete

[Duncan]

yeah, that's what we said when we saw the price.

For 1 driver its $1500, $2000 for 2 drivers. You also need 2 nights accom in Goulburn and a set of r tyres ($1500).

[fatz]

bargain for 3 days racing in anyones book

and thats 3 night of massive piss ups as well
