it did rain on saturday, enough to make saloon car enduro interesting and enough to stop the F1 cars short of their qualifying but sunday had fantastic weather.
there were only 10 F1 cars, instead of the 30 advertised; 2 of the 10, including a Sir Jackie Tyrrell, broke at some point during the weekend and never made it to the grid on sunday. however, the ones that showed were excellent and were running somewhere in the 1:20s; pretty dang quick for 25+ year old cars!
the moto gp bikes had a disappointing turn out as well, with senior citizens riding them. however, it was good to see both riders and bikes out there, putting on an exihibition.
the other were the usual suspects at the mitty with the highlight of the weekend being the one hour enduro for the World Champ of Makes cars and GTP cars. the winner being a Judd powered Riley & Scott Mk II?, who was lapping around 1:15. three Audi R8s were there; Champion and two of the Joest Audis, dating around 2000-2004, i think. unfortunately, one of them lost it a turn 6 and recieved some rear end damage to the car...nothing "major".
the 1996 12 hour of sebring winner, Olds powered R&S MkIII broke at turn 6 as well, resulting in what the driver said would be a $50K engine rebuild. nfortunately, an expensive weekend for him, but provided us and other fans the opportunity to talk with the driver about the car while he waited hours for a tow.
other cars in that enduro including some mazda and chevy powered Spices, Lola B2Ks, two or three other R&S, a Dyson 962 and the Rothman 962. Jim Downing won the award for the loudest car on the weekend, driver some kinda Mazda powered Prototype; Lola maybe.
BOSS series saw some older ChampCars and IRL cars. other than that, lots of 914s, bathtubs, 911s to include some old Alex Job ALMS cars, some 'vettes, stangs and lots of other beautiful cars and some stockcars
. enjoyed it and plan on going again next year. wonderful crowd and weather. can't ask for much else at the race track, besides cool cars.
JHamilton and monaro_gto will be able to provide some pics once they are compiled.
