The Grand Final - Sandown Historics

So now Phillip Island is over, Sandown is only 6 weeks away and plently of work for some to get ready.

4 weeks left to get your entries in, I expect the 4 Championship contenders will be in attendance and many that turn out just for this event each year so should be a ripper event and a great title fight that im sure will go down to the wire!

I expect I will have to enter then.

37 Cars, taking the season out with a bang!

Hi Pauly, have you got the final list as yet?

Thanks Pauly...looks like a good field.

I think entries close on 25th October, so maybe we can crack 40?

Looks like a few of the big bangers are back, sorry Greg and Jase but you might not have it all your own way this time...

looking forward to seeing Baileys GT back on track.

Anyone heard how Rob Whitwell is going after he "ventilated" his engine block at the island??

I spoke to Rob the other day....no good with a broken crank..

Ouch, it certainly looked bad, hope he can get it back up and flying for next year.
And how is your engine progressing Greg?

Progress is much slower than I would like Paul.......still waiting for the block to return from the machinist

There is nothing wrong with the engine you have in it now. Leave it in.

I will tell you about my woes at Sandown.

Might have to! Can't believe that you would have any dramas with the super reliable ZR?!
See you in a few weeks!

As of last night we were at 39....Just one more for the magic 40! Anyone else going to enter?

So we are nearly there, 7 days to go...pretty good list all up. Good to see one of the non regular SA guys coming across in James Evins.

Great weather, great racing...what more could we want?

Well done to Mr.Bailey for having a strong run on his return...car sounded fantastic aswell!

Hard luck for Mr.Bonnamy once again, Mark O'Neill's new car looks great.

Congrats to Greg for wrapping the title up
