Classic Adelaide Tarmac Rally

[nadg63]

This 4-day rally takes place again next week, and we are entered in the TR7V8, along with a couple of others, Ian Wilson being one of them.

Weather has been stinking hot here this week, 4 days at 39, 40 due on Sunday so got to hope it cools down next week - but long range forecast is for 38 Thursday, first day of rally! [V]

Have fun, & be careful. I'm sure you know the one about first
finishing.

At that temperature you'll have to watch out for melting tarmac.

I only raced there once, at Mallala, & we had three bits of track
melting during practice. Lots of fun, the first time you hit it, in
a Brabham, but it was on a look & see lap for us, so no where near
as close to the limit as you blokes will be.

Have fun & remember, if you approach a corner where a big crowd has gathered, tell your driver to slow down.


Never say die. At least not while you're still breathing.

Nice footage of Ian Wilson from day 2 at approx 0:55 to 1:15 and 2:38 to 2:50

The silence at the beginning is in tribute to driver Gary Tierney and co-driver David Carra who lost their lives while participating on day 1.

Seems Wilson's car attracted the official photographer's eye:



Nice to see 3 wedges started

Posted some pics in my blog section, along with videos and pics from the latest event, the Mount Buller Sprint which we did last weekend.
