Historic Sandown 5-7

[John A Pucak]

OK, OK, while we are on the topic of Sandown, I will be bringing with the VRA clubshop .
So if you need to look the part, come and see me so I can fit you up with the latest Veloce
polo shirt's , caps, bucket hats, windscreen banners ,*stubby holders ,and sticker's .
But wait there is more.I am overstocked with  the commemorative East Coast Challenge T- shirts .
All stock of these collector item T-shirts must go! . The VRA club shop does not carry any float, so
please have the correct amount with you, otherwise you will be getting VRA stubby holders as change.

* legal tender in most states

Great work Phil.

I was running at the back, I call it Back Of Grid racing, but I had a ball

Congratulations to Phil Baskett.

3rd place in the Group S under 2L race on Sunday afternoon.

Thanks, icing on the cake for me personally.....however....the best result of the weekend was the amount of Alfa's competing, what a cracking weekend.  Great weather & good, clean racing.

Commiserations to the handful of Alfa steerers who had issues

Get stuffed HMD, you were not at the back of grid racing!!!

Clearly your battery was connected correctly on Sunday, nice job PB

Commiserations to the handful of Alfa steerers who had issues

Yep, I had issues, about 70 of them in bhp terms

Neil,

I had 103 issues, as measured by CAMS   

Second funniest thing for the weekend was me, Marcus and Neil coming to the dummy grid late for last race, I had to put the driving gloves on in the car on the warm up lap (hopefully CAMS officials not reading this).

Funniest thing was seeing Neil speeding through the field on the restart warm up lap.

That restart form up lap was my fault 

The official at the grid directed me to the right hand side to grid up in P2 (should have been in 3), as Danny Gatto should have been out of P2.  So just to get me in P3 we had to go around again.

Sorry 'bout that 

Bloody funny that you tried to take a few Neil, you must have thought you had found 50 horsepower all of a sudden!!

[Neil Choi]

Yep, had me worried and wondering, couldn't see anything from where I was, didn't know about the restart and saw something started blasting past me, so I went off and passed a few and thought this isn't right, going to be in trouble, and got around and wasn't really in focus for the rest.

Pretty funny not hearing the call up and showing absolutely unprepared, just got helmet and belt on in time but no camera.

Anyway, you live and learn and provide a bit of comedy along the way.
