Returned from Bathurst last night....
260 miles in a day in an old 911 and then I got to watch some historic racing!
Weather lovely in the morning ... drive up along the Bells Line of Road good fun... I even got an uninterrupted run up the Kurrajong Hillclimb .
Arrived just as the group SC was going out... everyone was having a go...
Morgan 1st (2.7 Carrera), Pye 2nd, Lawlor 3rd. These guys were having a ding dong go , and were doing low 2.40's. BT was going well, but had some sort of mechanical mishap, and Nick T exclaimed to me later in the pits with wide eyes he's seen his shift light flash in his Carrera 3 as he entered the chase.... in 5th gear!!! Those 260 Datsuns weren't hanging around either!
Lloyd Hughes also running in RS 1560, and seemed to be enjoying himself ( although I didn't get a chance to speak to him). Wayne Seabrook also having a red hot go in his ST replica keeping the 300bhp XU1's honest. 3rd in race one.
Then the weather deteroriated... just one race for the SC guys owing to stoppages to retrieve damaged cars. We got soaked at McPhillamy Park.
Drive home ferral ... suffice it so say I slept well last night.
Stupidly forgot to recharge digital camera batteries, so I'm waiting on a disc from my old high school friend Simon before I post some pics
