2007 Goldenstates - Saturday
Posted by FIL on Sunday, December 02, 2007 (14:56:52) (432 reads)

Saturdays racing at the Goldenstates started half an hour earlier than originally planned to accomodate the remaining passes in Doorslammer qualifying, and to also to minimize the impact of the rain that threatened to slow proceedings. Kath Stevens, Aaron Lynch and Ben Bray had all missed out on their final qualifying pass on Friday night, but ran at 3pm to complete the session. Only Ben's pass impacted on the ladder, with Aaron and Kath both failing to qualify.
In the finals, John Zappia ran his slowest pass of the meeting at 6.14 seconds, but still managed to cross the finish line ahead of Steve Stanic to win his first ever Western Australian Doorslammer round while Troy McLean defeated Ian Ashelford in another close race.

2007 Goldenstates - Friday
Posted by FIL on Friday, November 30, 2007 (18:30:50) (363 reads)

Unfortunately, tonights racing at the Perth Motorplex was interrupted by rain, resulting in the Top Doorslammers being unable to complete their third round of qualifying. After some quick discussions, the Motorplex race management decided to complete the third qualifying session at 3pm on Saturday.
After two sessions of Doorslammer qualifying, John Zappia is top qualifier, with a 6.025, followed by Gary Phillips, Ben Bray, Peter Kapiris, Stuart Bishop, Robin Judd, Aaron Lynch and sitting on the bump spot, Brett Stevens with a 6.549.
In Top Bike, qualifying is complete, and Troy McLean leads the list with a 6.508, followed by Brett Stevens, Mark Drew, Athol Williams, Kim Stevens, Syd Standring, Mark Ashelford and Ian Ashelford, however this is likely to change as Kim Stevens suffered a broken leg after hitting the sand trap at high speed in qualifying today. Neville Smith is currently sitting in 9th position, just outside the field.

2007 AFARCC Collie Track Day
Posted by FIL on Sunday, November 25, 2007 (23:48:33) (620 reads)

All Fours and Rotaries Car Club ran a test'n'tune event at Collie Motorplex on the weekend. While only a handful of cars ended up taking to the track, those who made the trek to the south west were rewarded with a full day of track time for under $100. Drivers were sent out in groups of 4 for sessions of 5 laps at a time, which gave them plenty of time to get to know the track but also got them off the circuit and back into pit lane without putting too much stress on the vehicles.
Check out the photos here. For more information about AFARCC and to find out about upcoming events, check out their website.

2007 November 21st Whoop Ass Wednesday
Posted by FIL on Wednesday, November 21, 2007 (16:13:23) (348 reads)

Tonights Whoop Ass Wednesday was a relatively quiet night on the Drag Strip, which gave me the opportunity to change to a smaller lens for part of the night. you'll notice that the photos from the first half of the night feature a lot of wide angle, side on and low angle shots, these are shots I wouldn't normally get at drag meets as the lenses I normally use have to much zoom to be effective in that situation. However, I do think there are some really cool shots to be had, so one of the next lenses I plan on buying will be something in the range of roughly 17 - 85mm.
