Eastern Creek 1 hour Tim Mackie on Vimeo Above is a link to video of the first part of the race. Unfortunately an errant porsche caused a safety car on lap one, which was a bummer for us. As both our team cars got good starts. Please excuse my spin at the end, i was very angry at myself for...

Cheers Paul. Results probably delayed. There were a number of drivers being called up for passing under safety car conditions etc. Could be a few penalties applied yet.

Yeah, thanks Russ. Our box is the standard road-going synchro h-pattern honda box. A lovely box to use, but not really a race-car box!! That's my second stripped 4th gear. Need, at least a oil cooler and good gear set. But if $$ permit, a Sadev sequential would be nice!!!! Anyway, today is...

A great result today for Iain Pretty's RF117... Iain's car ran a 1-hour enduro at Sydneys Eastern Creek Raceway. RF117 came home first, against some strong competition including VW GT3 cup cars, Lotus GT3 and a couple of Honda powered Loti. I am very pleased for Iain and this result. Years...

oooh i dream of being there..........

We've heard the line 8-ball in the corner pocket......... A line not often heard around the POOL TABLE: " 8-ball empties ALL POCKETS"

have you picked out a nice dress ? Good luck. Be kind to your tranny ......... oh dear, that came out wrong......

link to Iains video: YouTube - Skyline 2 Awesome insight into your car Iain. It seems to be doing is easy. Sounds amazing too. (PS did you get my email on monday?)

You're not wrong Trevor. You can see time to be made right across the hill in the video. I passed Iain at skyline on sunday and was able to pull enough of a gap that i got him under brakes at the Chase. The battle was getting very interesting until Iain ran into problems. But, being a newbie...

Thanks for posting the links Stu. I had a ball at Bathurst. It was my first time ever in a race car there. Thanks to Iain for showing me the way around!! His GT40 is FAST down the long straights!!!! But the Lotus brakes and corners pretty well. Its a very hard track to get right. Lots of blind...

We use shell 102 octane unleaded. Should have some spare if you need it. Let me know and i will bring some extra.

Yes Pete, we are off the The Mountain. Our first time there. The cars were wheeled out of the truck today. Quick spanner check. Polish the race tape holding the front clam together, then back into the truck for thursdays trek to Bathurst.. There is stacks of in-car from the GP, but finding...

That was a weekend full of highs and lows !! Pete & Bill, thanks for swinging by. It was great to catch up with you both. Sorry i couldn't come for a beer, but we were a bit busy with race tape and fibreglass....... The "racing" : Practice & Qualifying: I tried to be conservative and stay...

It looks like our pit area is not for from Pete's Bar. So we shouldn't be too hard to find.......... unless you've been at Pete's bar too long.... Looking forward to this big event. Racing at a Grand Prix !

Thanks for the warm wishes guys. As far as i know, we will be pitted with all other support acts, so your Grandstand ticket should get you into "our" pit area. Bill & Pete, i look forward to catching up after so many years.. Iain, that's a shame. Your GT40 would add greatly to the spectacle...

G'day all. If anyone is attending the Melbourne Grand Prix meeting, please keep an eye out for us in the Australian GT Chapmionship races. We will have a two car team (Me and my brother, Dave) racing in the "Challenge" class, which is for the Non-FIA GT3 spec cars. We hope to give some of the...

Re: T70 Spyder Track Day Outing #2 Hi Ron, It's great to see your T70 move from the "build" thread and now appear on the "race track' thread !! You're right about having "too much" adjustability. Sometimes we can over complicate things. Do you have a recipe to work with or a similar car to...

Guys, be careful of thinking "oh it's just for track days" An accident, fire etc can just as easily (sometimes more) occur at a track day as at a big race meeting. In fact, i'd rather be in an incident at a race meeting, since the marshalling and safety crews are there in large numbers. I...

Guys, at that point of the race, the track was almost dry. There were still a few "rivers" running accross in places. I had stopped using my wiper, as the ignition cut out a few times earlier...... pommy cars and electrics!! Most cars were really suffering on well used wet tryes which were hot...

Cool video Iain. They sure were treacherous conditions.... Geez that blue Lotus was flying at the end there........... i think my car was kinder to it's tyres on the drying track, we still had good pace to the end, if only we had a few more laps....
