I just noticed the same thing Evan - bugger, we can only hope it doesn't rain until Monday. 

[Brett]

Wouldn't matter if it snowed- ITS FINALLY ON!!!!

[Big Trev]

Yeah, good call Brett, we are fortunate enough to have some treaded tyres as well.

[Gary Pearce]

Just got back, and what a fantastic event, and a great weekend had by all.  No incidents on the track, I don't think the safety car was deployed once during the event.

It started raining about an hour and a half before the start, but stopped about 30 minutes before.  track was wet for the start, but a dry line appeared within    30 minutes.  I did the last stint for our team and got a few drops on my screen with about 10 minutes to go, but luckily nothing eventuated.  About 10 minutes after the finish it absolutely bucketed down!!  We were very lucky.

To all involved with the organisation, a hearty cheers.

What a fantastic weekend.

[Sheldon McIntosh]

Wet track at the start.

Unfortunately it meant that everyone who started for their team mucked up their regularity factor because the times were slow while the track was still wet, then got gradually much faster. 

[Evan Bottcher]

Wow - what a great event.  This was my second time and it just gets better.  Team Trofeo sends a big thankyou to all the organisers and volunteers.

Huge congratulations also to Team Maschi di Alfa for a well deserved win.

Absolutely stoked

Like Evan said, a great event....I just love the team aspect, something you normally dont get a lot of in our chosen sport.

I must say, a big thank you to our club as a whole who had the 'stones' to take on this event and run it.  And to Neil Choi who sacrificed a fair bit this year in finding time to prepare.

It is quite rewarding to run something this big and see so many having a good time.

[Big Trev]

Well done AROCA and in particular Neil Choi, he is a rock.

Well done to to the organising committee, big job, great effort, also a great big thanks to all the volunteers, they were great.

By my reckoning we came in 7th, so next year, a top 3 for us.

Thanks guys and well done.
