New OHOS coming

We've seen your lap times. You should stop posting now.

 

Tell ‘em they’re dreamin’...

 

Have I told you about the few times I’ve done national rally track days?

I don't recall ever hearing that story. Please go on, and don't skip any details.

 

Fixed

 

Only at Winton,do you have the timesheet avaiable?

 

Sorry, there was also wins at Surfers, Wakefield Park and the Canberra track, Fairbairn.

And from memory, 2nd at Lakeside twice and Fairbairn once.

Not bad for the 7 Rallys I did between 1987 and 1996.

And all the time sheets were in the magazine at the time.

Anything else?

 

Very implessive.

 

You'd need an F1 car to do that today.

 

That is true...we were certainly in the middle of the golden years IMO

 

Yep, I know people say things move on - but it's not always for the better.

 

So at the various rallies we both attended,we were both successful.

Not too dusty particularly as,in my case,it was 8 years between drinks.

Unfortunately in '09 Qld I couldn't enter the track event 'coz Marc had diagnosed a stuffed rear wheel bearing in the 330

 

You know I'm talking outright, not class?

Ron Davis Trophy for me in 2009, it's the ultimate.

 

Well it wouldn't surprise me.
Bit hard for a FEV12OHOS and 308GT4 to be outright,I'd have thought.
But I'm pretty happy with my results in the 2 times I attended track days.

 

Yep, all finished for outright when F40's and 355's came out. (348's were never a problem)

 

Neither would the 328's I suspect...

Those of us who've done any form of competitive driving will have been in the situation of 'chequebook ' drivers......catching/overtaking cars that we really shouldn't have.

 

No, 328's effectively no quicker.

Yep, plenty of them in the Ferrari Club.

 

Yep, from the days when it actually meant something... since the trophy now goes to basically whomever is game to track their ‘plated’ concourse car you and Horse should be a shoo-in!

 

While I'm trumpet blowing, I won it twice ('94 and '09), and before that was it was the "Marenello Trophy" which I've also won (1988).
Some well known names on the Ron Davis trophy.

The Trophies from '88 and '94 were signed prints

A couple of dead ones too

 

I'm pretty sure an F40 won outright in '89

I'm pretty sure a 355 won in '99 (**** that was funny)

I'm pretty sure it was the same driver both times.... 10 years apart lol

Yep, thanks for the excuse to post.

Why was 99 funny?

 

Well if nothing else,at least a car I used to own is on those lists.... sniff..
