First official running of Bo's new track last night



Only had 9 bods turn up .... Joe was out doing the party animal thing, Mel is over in WA enjoying his retirement, And Al was ????

But the place soon warmed up!

Only 2 classes run ..... Trans Am (including Aussie classics) 3 min heats, and GT International (enduro) 10 min heats

First up was the Trans Am's



Had two Falcons on the grid this time ,once the Charger and the Monaro go into production there will be a lot more local content!













Schuey spent a lot of time getting friendly with the soldering iron

Stu found many places to have a rest

Even Scott couldn't believe this one


1st .. Bo, 2nd .. Dave and 3rd .. Charlie



Next up the GT International Enduro









Entertainment was supplied by Charlie, who insisted on doing his famous elephant impersonation








The Aston Martin road blocks kept everyone on there toes .... here Vince finds out the hard way



A popped axle cost Bo a few places



1st .. Dave 2nd .. Vince and 3rd .. Bo

Great shots Gazza. A small price to pay, being blinded every ten seconds.

Great to see a couple of my bodies finally hit the track for some racing. The only one raced down her was the prototype super Falcon that Dave Bantoft raced in the last series we ran.

I suppose you guys would also like to see the Beechey Monaro moulded later this year?

Gazza neglected to mention the Moffat Falcon of mine finished fourth out of nine and was getting quicker. It is a Tassie weight with a scale busting 126 grams but was surprisingly quick as long as the brake pot was on full. It didn't suffer in a straight line against the Scalex Camaro's and Mustang's even though most were 25 to 30 grams lighter. The lead drop tank helped it stay on track.

Beechy Monaro would be great as would a McCormack Charger. We will have a nice field of Aussie cars then.

Charlie's Elephant impersonation was a FLOP!

And those bloody Aston's, oh well a second will have to do.
