Moretti's car qualified 4th

And walked by Alfie in the Maserati.

 

Did you notice that REAL challenge's don't have those poofter wings ?

Poor Scott/Millard/wrxmike

 

Also, it would have qualified better with me driving , but when the rain turned up I would have lost it

 

probably banned from that exotic "race" series, to help the Magnas, Camrys and Mazda 626's that made up most of the field.

 

The wings came out the year after.

 

I watched the first few laps.

Where did it finish?

 

You couldn't fast forward to the end?

 

Went out, just got home..............about to walk out again.

 

Don't spoil the ending for him

The Camry's won it

 

By 3 secs.

 

OLIO

 

Cheers JM.

 

Cheeky bugger

yummy

 

My category got dropped from the historic meeting at Eastern Creek this weekend, so I'm having a turn as crew b**ch for a mate's F5000.

Geez, these things are scary, can't imagine having a big accident in one.

 

Alfie Costanzo driving a McLaren M10 F5000, this would easily be a half million dollar car.

"animale selvaggio" - I love it!

What happened to your category?

 

this is the first time ARDC have organised a historic meeting, normally done by HSRCA in NSW and VHRR in VIC.

ARDC board is made up of people who've never raced and they are clueless. They told each category that they'd have to guarantee 30 cars to get onto the program, which tends to discourage entries. Not enough cars from Q&R Racing entered so we go dropped. btw normal HSRCA grid is 25 cars.

I called them and said, "please put me in with the F5000's" but this was declined. Whenever F5000 entries are too low for a grid, they put them in with Q&R (as happened at Phillip Island this year) but that courtesy doesn't operate in the other direction. F5000's are treated like gods, yet half the cars (I'm being kind) are either poorly maintained or poorly driven, while the other half are all furiously cheating to get their tin cups. Alfie Costanzo is one of the best drivers in Australian open wheel racing, he's in a beautiful and correct car, he finished 5th today. enough said.

Irony is that only 12 F5000 cars showed up for this meeting, 2 have retired already (the engines are so massively hot-rodded they're extremely fragile) so only 10 cars left. Doesn't make for much of a sight for the spectators.

 

Some familiar faces there!!

Mind you, they have aged somewhat. But haven't we all

 

Well that's a bit pi*spoor from the ARDC.

Bad luck and thanx for the explanaion.
