The VHRR Winton Festival of Speed is coming up on August 11/12.

I dont have the entry list, but it sounds like it should be a good program with Groups A/C, N, S all having a longer last race (Group S has 15 laps for instance).  Group N will be running the popular Top 10 Shootout too.

There is a short article on the Winton website on Group S http://www.wintonraceway.com.au/festival-of-speed-group-s-suits-superb-speedsters-and-sleek-sportscars.html

Still no entry list released  ???

Weatherzone app tells me mostly sunny top temps of 16 & 18 with a 5% chance of rain across the weekend.  Yay!

Could possibly have a free 2 day ticket to Winton.

You can give me a call 0433 11 66 47 if you can wanting and coming up.

In exchange, perhaps a Gatorade or a beer after 5pm!!!!!!!

See you tomorrow

I will also have a pass or two available if anyone else is interested.  I'm cheap too!!

Ummm, I might have missed that apex!!!!!  At least I held out Jeff in the Datto for a lap or so.  Try as I might, I could not get past Andrew in the Porsche though, a good fun race with him and Brian in the Midget.  That last race was great having it comined with Sa/b, the first two races were a bit lonely.

Rear view of the race (race 3), 3 laps of being chased by a beautiful 5.8L V8 corvette before misfiring ignition ending race much earlier.

Here you go, hitting the apex.

Should really move it to the pics and video section.
