AWDCC Rapid Sprint Wilby Raceway: Round 3, June 26 2016.

Luke Hunter July 3, 2016

Round 3 of the AWDCC Rapid Lap dash was held out at Wilby Motorsport park 10 min south of Yarrawonga and just a little over an hour’s drive from Albury. 

The track its self is 1km long, producing very quick lap times.Robert Forest in his XD Falcon v8 produced a time of 0:38.6135 that landed him 14th place out of 38 (Yes 38) Competitors for the day.

Something a bit different this time was Peter Cullen's turbo Ae92 Corolla. 

The 4age power plant made all the right turbo noises, sounding very unique on the day. 

Check out the low mount. As l approached Peter for a chat it was clear something was not right with the steering assemblies as they rushed around to try and fix it before the next session. Never did get to have a proper chat but hopefully in the future. He did however post a 0:39.5146 to come in 23rd

A bit of drama didn't stop Mitchel Warnock setting a 0:38.8518 to end up 19th in his LS powered R33. 

The nasty mess the lay within the engine bay, the belt had eaten though a radiator hose so it looked much worse that it was.

Jake Lucas's farther Rex, seen here cocking a wheel. Went a 0:40.7042 only just faster than Jake who set a 0:40.7784! So close!!

Jake also had an e36 rag top out for some fun, I wonder if he can keep bringing a new car every round for the rest of the year?

His LS S13 isn't far away from being finished so hopefully next time he will be back in that!

 

The groups were very well balanced, placing cars with similar lap times together can be quite hard I bet, but the club did a great job! Having minimal lap traffic for everyone.  

That Just about wraps up this post, these days have a really great atmosphere, thanks to all that helped to  organise the day, because it  really was well organised!

AWDCC Motorkhana June 5th 2016

Luke Hunter June 21, 2016

Bit slow to get this one to the blog, and with Wilby on this weekend I thought I should get it done!
A very over cast and at time wet, rainy day out at Barnawartha Tafe DECA but with 30 entrants it hardly scared anyone away from rounding up a few cones and setting some times! 

Jake Lucas, normally in a matte black s13 convinced his father to go halves in an Excel while hes building his Silvia. First event in the car went well with only a tappet noise and alternator failing to charge but they never missed a trial.

Pat in his turbo falcon put on a great show once again, leaving the start line at WOT almost every time to attack cones. 

Smoking the pad out when he could!

Nathan Clark in his Commodore powered Gemini, possibly more suited to a burnout pad they still gave it a good crack, hope to see them out again in the green beast!

I think everyone fell in love with this Alfa GTV thoughout the day, keeping it classy the whole time. 

Tarun lines up in his s13 ready to lay down some times, Possible car trouble seen him well down the order with plenty to improve on, can't wait to see him out next time. definitely one to watch!  

Ben took to the pad once again in his r33, laying down times that seen him end in the top 10 for the day. a credit to his car control in one of the bigger chassis.

Minis are always top of the table in Motorkhana. Rod Shaw (Pictured) coming in just shy of 1st place behind Simon Kerr in another Mini.
