Hi all,
Just a reminder for anyone that is in or around Melbourne, that the Sandown Historics is on this weekend, amazing at Sandown!
Entry list should be excellent again, and weather looking to be high 20's so perfect for English cars to overheat and self-destruct :)
Sa/Sb/Sc all running together..... will post videos after the event.
Taylors - see you there.
Have fun Alex, wis I was there.
My red car is nearly done ! Well the gearbox anyway......
Enjoy Alex
I was booked in to do Mallalla on the 19th & 20th but have chickened out.....too scared of panel damage at this point in proceedings!
Come on Cam .......
I sent an email to the Nick, Ryan, Tim and Andrew about the 6 hour at Sandown in Feb. Anyone keen?
A bit like my post for drinks ALEX!
@ Begg
Ha ha ha!
Alex,
Thanks for the offer on the 6 hour. I will pass as i'm going to run Group Sb and Sc for Phillip Island. The White Carrera3.0 is very close!!!!!
Showoff Tim!
Wow that will be fun though.
Got the white car entered for regularity at EC
I might go for a drive in it too!
Sandown is run and done - the Group S message being V8, V8 and more V8.
Looking forward to a rundown from Alex and Nick.
Curbs you are right, with Geoff and David not at Sandown, the duties were left to Spencer, BT and NT to fly the fast 911 flag!
Saturday's race was at 5pm but that did not mean cool, temps were still in the low 30's ambient and hotter in all our gear and cars with no ac! The cars all got really HOT!!
8 laps and we were all knackered!
Sunday midday race the rain was threatening but held. Lots of faster cars coming from back of grid hurt my result but still managed to do a PB.
Sunday arvo last race of the meet and I had a pretty boring race. However I won the under 2 litre class in all races in Sb holding Geoff Pike who is pretty rapid in his MG B.
Spencer was amazing as usual fixing our cars when they misbehaved but overall none of us did anything wrong or serious all weekend with all cars back home safe and sound.
For me the year is done. Couple of minor things planned for the car.
Videos from Nick's car and mine will be up shortly.

Thanks Alex, nice work.
Ps. That big block 'Vette is unreal - want...
go back tomorrow as more videos will be up including Nick's.
Nice work Alex. Looks like that Taylor bloke nodded off on the line...!?
he'd woken up by the back straight by the looks of it...
Wonderful start Alex - but then you got swamped heading up to Dandenong Road?
A wise man once said, "squeeze the orange, don't squash it". Needless to say I squashed the gas pedal and the car flooded and I went nowhere fast! 5 cars past me and I had some work to do after the good start!!!
Nick stalled on the start line, first time ever for him, but to his defence, it was the first start with all his new cheater go fast engine and gearbox ;)
Once they clear out at Sandown, they really clear out!
Pity about the throttle problem Alex, perhaps Spencer can drop a 2.7 in while he fixes it .....
RC, the vett should be orange !
Nicholas, response ??? How did grandad go ?
Dad did not have a great weekend his car kept on having a misfire over about 5000 rpm. Spencer tried a few things between the session but to little avail. It will be fixed later this week :)
Another wise man said 906 cams suck in 2 litre cars...Quote:

Missfire Ryan not flat spot !
Nick Taylors videos are now up on your tube - http://www.youtube.com/901911
What an awesome weekend at Sandown... only just back today - spent the week in Melbourne with the family (yep, towed the car down and back with the bub).
Thanks again for the Webster hospitality and for posting the videos on youtube for me - but mostly thanks (and the 10 other drivers) for not running into me when I stalled on the start in race 1! I started in 14th, lost 10 on the start and finished 11th - an intense first two laps :-)
Andy - the other grandad did well - only complaint was the flying V8's on the straights.
Nick
Nick, cracking drive of yours in Race 1 - I saw the red mist as you went past me!!!!
Some nice pics here, particularly this one of NT
