Should be a good day, enough to cover costs easily and not too many to clog up the staging lanes
Cant wait !!
Cheers,

I have been getting a few calls from Torana owners not normally seen around here and from what they tell me, there are going to be some bloody quick passes and real nice cars coming along.
I havnt tallied up the number of cars attending but off the top of my head there will be at least 40 and most are Toranas
Cheers,

Just in case anyone is wondering if the event is still going ahead due to rain we had today, IT IS !!
The forecast for Ipswich is looking good tomorrow with a very slight (15%) chance of a shower. Even if there is a shower, the track drys out very quickly so it wont be a big issue.
If there is any change I will update here in the morning.

See you there !!
Cheers,

If you wish to RACE,you WILL need to have/bring the following...An Australian Standards approved helmet (sticker on the helmet meeting Aus standards,normally on back)
Long sleeve shirt, long pants (no shorts), covered shoes (no thongs)
You will most likely required to fill out a indemnity form, from experience its better if you bring your own PEN (you wont get one with your form)
It can also get cold out there after the sun goes down, so make sure the kids have warm stuff to wear after dark.
For those who are racing, Time slips will be issued from the scrutineering shed (not the tower as is normal) the scrutineering shed is the first large shed/building you will see after you finish a race (on the left hand side of the return road)
more info can be found here... http://www.willowbank-raceway.com.au/
See ya ther !

For me the highlight was lining up against Howard in his A9X. It really was great to have such a desirable car out there being put through its paces.
Above that though was seeing everyone have a great time in a low pressure relaxed atmosphere. The day is all about having fun and even those who broke stuff were still smiling. I met quite a few new people and I know others did too, so aside from the racing, the social aspect of the day was definitely a winner.
As I was too busy racing and chatting I didnt get any photos but Mellisa managed to get a bit of video footage which I will try to get onto youtube as soon as I can.
A big thanks to all those who helped out, the committee of the QTCC and of course Steve (mumstaxi) whose assistance and provision of PA equipment was invaluable. Thanks mate
I will post the trophy winners and what not later on, as for now, I am buggered and need to kick back with a coldie and unwind.
Stay Cool,
Tony
