August 29 AMRS Winton 27/8/06AMRS Winton 27/8/06 photos What a contrast to the may meeting. Full fields diverse cars and fantastic racing. If you are like me and getting tired of seeing different coloured CommoFalcons chasing each other around the track you have to give this series a chance. Plenty of different cars, lots of passing and plenty of action. After the may meeting I was sceptical but this event proved just how good it can be. Talk is even bigger & better next year with big banger sports cars joining Thundersports and an ex INDY car joining the OZBOSS which will certainly make things interesting. They have certainly won me over July 04 Mildura/Lake Mungo areaWhat an interesting area this was. What a contrasting country, within a couple of hours we have river boats on the Murray and huge sandhills at Mungo where a lake was 40,000 years ago.
Even though it is posted as 4wd avised to Mungo we saw 2 Japanese tourists take a 'rent a wreck' Camry out there which I still find increadible but seeing them take photos while people pulled them back onto the road just put icing on the cake. They thought it was great fun but they did not get concerned that only a few vehicles a day went along that road and there are warnings to tell people you are going there. BrokenHill/Silverton areaA few shots from trip including Broken Hill, Silverton, Mundi Mundi areas.
This is a great area to visit but Broken Hill itself is a typical min ing town (dirty and dingy looking) May 09 AMRS Winton 7/5/06Well,
For a national series this is pathetic. Just consider these stats
If you were unfortunate like me and shelled out your $20 to attend this so called meeting get onto the promoters and send them an email. Talking to a number of the other 50 or so paying spectators i doubt very much if many of them will give it a second chance later this year. If it is the promoters that caused such a pathetic showing they desrve a kick but if it was a lack of support from competitors they deserve to have their cars parked in sheds. Come on get out and support the damn thing before you have nowhere to race and then start whining. Aust Hillclimb Mt Cotton 1999New album March 21 Lakeside Historic 1999 photosNow building album from Lakeside Historics 1999. This was a great meeting but an absolutely freezing day. March 07 Talking about Bundy's StoryIf you saw this story from the documentary you must agree it was a fantastic journey and makes you wish you could have been on it Quote Bundy's Story Winton Raceway (updated 11/4/06)Looked at the program for the year and some decent meetings coming up. Let's hope the VMRC is supported a little better than last year. Surely with NSW State rounds getting capacity fields Vic can do better than some of the pathetic showings from last year.
Looking forward to the AMRS meetings which should be great.
Good to see the v8's are back but the cost is fairly steep and makes it fairly hard for a family to go. Maybe go on Saturday and watch it on tv on Sunday.

The State Championship Meeting 8 & 9/4/06 saw the usual pathetic showing, even the HQ entry was 9 cars. If it was not for the BMW & Poesche 944 classes it would not have been worth staying even though entry was free !
What is wrong with Victorian competitors?
Anyway, some photos are now on this site for anyone interested First EntryTonight is my first at Web.Wizards.
This should be fun and I should learn heaps. |
