2008 Historic Sandown

[AmonFan]

Its getting close to that time of year again ;) the 2008 Historic Sandown....Nov 7,8,9. This meeting is Round 1 of the 2008/09 New Zealand F5000 Tasman Cup Revival Series... 20 F5000's already entered, fingeres crossed that the Chris Hocking ex John Goss AGP Winning Matich A53 races..... hard charging veteran racer Kenny Smith is down to drive the second Dave Abbott owned Lola T430's..... 30 years since its fearful crash with Alan Hamilton at the wheel.... Hopefully Chris Hyde returns to OZ, id think a 1m07 is possible ;).....

For the Tin Top fans so far a decent feild of Group C and A cars has entered.... Notables include Paul Stubber in the A9X, Frank Binding in the ex Muir XD, Bob Tweedie in the Sierra and Mike Roddy in the Jaguar XJS....

Mike will be busy as he is also down to run the awesome sounding XJS Sports Sedan.... Darren Hossack and the fast Audi A4 will be hoping to beat his previous record of 1:08.5689.... Just 2 tenths off the outright record of Roger Williams in the McRae GM1 F5000...

Im counting down the days :D

[wayno]

I start holidays in the last week of october so will be a definate starter for this one this year if they open the back of the circuit up.
I refuse to take photos from the front straight as it's boring.

it's unlikely that they will. although crowd numbers are usually good, there not big enough to open the back up to spectators. i don't remember them doing it in the 9 years i've been a flagmarshall.

[wayno]

That's a bummer because the front straight at Sandown is soooooooooooooo boring. :mad:

[spolyhronidis]

you can always do what the cheaskates do. park just inside the Dandenong road gate and take photos of the cars coming down the hill.

[brchi17]

time for a press pass wayno ;)

[bullet]

Dandenong road (ie Red Hill car park) will be open for spectators to drive and park at the fence, this section is the bit from turn 9 to the final corner. Entry wont be extra just use the ticket you get normally or buy a ticket at that entrance. There will be buses to and from the Red Hill car park to the grandstand for those that dont want to walk/use their cars.

Bob Tweedie will be running 2x Sierra's, the PJ car for himself and an ex BTCC car for his Son in Group A/C. F5000's are expected to top 25 but how many will show? Group S is waaaaaaaaay oversubscribed which is unusual as Group N are usually the ones for that and entries are on target for 300 at closing date. I can't wait...:cool:

[spoonster05]

Will get down there for at least one of the days, really love seeing the older cars being driven like they should be and not just sitting in sheds or museums

[bullet]

With just under a week left for entries there are over 300 entries for Sat/Sun and over 200 pre paid for Friday practice. 20x Formula 5000's already signed up, 18x Group A/C and 53x Group N's Looking good.

[bullet]

Last mail came in, 350 entries for the weekend, this will be a great event, sadly already 2 F5000's pulled out

[Pug205]

This sounds like a great day out. Wish I could go.

Can anyone who goes please take some pics of the ex- BTCC Sierra when they are there? Id love to see how it looks. It is an ex Andy Rouse machine that Tweedie had advertised at the Muscle Car Masters as being already for sale as well as his GSR Sierra.

[Nate07]

G'day everyone,

In the mail on Friday I received an apprentice complimentary pass for both Saturday and Sunday to the 2008 VACC Hisoric Sandown.

Its on the 8th and 9th of November 2008 at Sandown.

I was just wondering if anyone is going, or have been in the past?

Cheers

[wayno]

I will definately be there. Looking for something to do with my holidays anyway. :D

[Leigh]

Depends how much I get done on cup weekend, but hope to go at least on the Sunday:D

[AmonFan]

I'll be there both days :D

[bullet]

I have been going for 10 years I think, lacks the quality of PI but is better in other ways. This is the biggest amount of racing cars at one meeting ever in Melbourne.

BTW Entries now at 360!

[bullet]

Thought I would put a couple of the classes up for those interested to see as there isnt long to go...this list is from a few days ago but is upto date...Unfortunately lots of pull outs, still a huge entry list!

[AmonFan]

Great to see Tony Floreani in the ex John Walker/Stan Keen/Peter Midleton/Mike Adams/Paul Trevethan/Ranald McLurkin/Peter Brennan/David Doubtfire Elfin MR5 having a run.... did i forget anyone..... This car for a while ran as a Elfin 815 and sported semi ground effects iirc.... Also ran Ford power for a while.... Is now in original Elfin MR5 form.....

Interesting to note Lindsay O'Donnell's Begg FM5... I believe this is ex Chas Talbot who is running a Sports Sedan at the Sandown meet..... 30 years ago Chas rolled the Begg during the Rothmans Sandown round, had it put back on all fours and continued on before crashing again iirc....

No Chris Hyde.... so the Roger Williams lap record may be safe, but will the outright record stay? Mr Hossack will hopefully be trying hard ;)

[Richard Poole]

ex John Walker/Stan Keen/Peter Midleton/Mike Adams/Paul Trevethan/Ranald McLurkin/Peter Brennan/David Doubtfire Elfin MR5

Nobody likes a name dropper! ;)

Luke Chambers - Mazda RX7
Laurie Davidson - Toyota Soarer
Darren Hossack - Audi A4

[vikings100]

I'm might go down Sunday afternoon and have a look.

Cheers Greg:)

[wayno]

No Jag on the sports sedan list? :confused::(

[Oh Five]

Just wondering if anyone going to the Sandown event would mind getting Murray Carter to sign my 1;64 backing board, if i sent it to you in mail please?
Thanks Bruce.

Last I knew Mike was having gearbox problems and was touch and go for the Historics, Had bought a new gearbox from overseas and fitting it plus developing it for the car may have taken longer than expected. The Group A car will still be there :D

[AmonFan]

I hear there will be a rather special car on display ;) a car driven by a former world champion, currently owned by a former Australian Formula 2 Champion whose brother came so close winning the 1980 Gold Star .....

I think Guy Edwards was the first to drive it around 1974.... Richard Davison purchased the car a few years ago.... Im pretty sure the details are @ www.oldracingcars.com (http://www.oldracingcars.com) look @ F5000 then the car section and many of the histories of each car are there.....

No, not yet but a few of us have a thread on the ten-tenths chassis archive section... We have covered the MR5's soooo far.... I think we have mentioned the MR8 as well and Allen Brown who looks after the www.oldracingcars.com (http://www.oldracingcars.com) site takes notes.....

Thanks MOTIV8 for the info. Looks like I'll have to go!!

[The real OZ GP]

I have to go down to Port Campbell near Warnambool for work tomorrow , I may have to go to Perth on Sunday , If I don't I will head down to Sandown , I recently bought a Bar mirror at Auction with one of the last Elfin F5000's on it and am desperate to see one in action.

If anyone wants to catch up drop me a PM with a mobile number .

[AmonFan]

[quote=The real OZ GP;286109]I recently bought a Bar mirror at Auction with one of the last Elfin F5000's on it and am desperate to see one in action./quote]

Mate is that the one with the MR9 on it, i vaguely remember those....

Sandown's F5000 entry features 3 Elfin variants....They'll be a MR5, the MR6 and a MR8 (the one that ran as a Can Am for a spell)

[The real OZ GP]

According to the Elfin Heritage centre it is and MR8 on the Mirror , on the back it is marked as "F1 car " which is very very wrong. Cost me all of 40 bucks and is in perfect condition.

[wrxwrc]

Went today, some great old cars!!
The F5000 sounded fantastic when they blasted off on the rolling start...Group C & A Touring Cars had a good field, some cars i hadnt seen on track before in VIC.
No ex Team GTR's but some of the usuals on track included the PJ Sierra, the TWR Jag, GIO Walkinshaw and Malboro A9X Torana.
Got some great pics of all fields, crowd very small today.
Cheers

[spolyhronidis]

I noticed that a few of the cars still had their cigarette signage. Have the laws changed recently or is somebody simply turning a blind eye?

I think that he was off Go-kart racing with his son as he is starting to come through the ranks now. Lucky little bugger will be driving Dad's car before too long.....

[MOTIV8]

The weather certainly turned it on yesterday and the crowds where fairly big with not much room in the grandstand at some stages of the day. How awesome was Darren Hossack's A4 Sports sedan......absolutely chewing up the field. One of the first events that we didnt take too many photos at as there was too much too look at.

Yep the Teddy Yip Theodore Lola T332 was driven by Alan Jones in the Rothmans series and the Kleber F5000 race in 1977.... Purchased by Jon Davison.... raced by Keith Holland @ the Sandown 78 Rothmans round.... After F5000 wound up went through a series of owners.... Now owned by 1980 Australian Formula 2 Champion Richard Davison, bro of Jon and father of Will and Alex......

[Vectra]

I knew someone would know......
Mate, I'd love to go back to those days...Johnnie Walker, Max Stewart (RIP :(), Frank Matich, John McCormack etc....was awsome racing as I remember.....Poor old Max, was watching the day he was killed...very sad.

Great to see them out again, just about converted my Mrs to them who is an F1 fan.....
I am fairly much in the same position except for the fact that she is already converted and actually got me more involved in cars/racing........ Just have to get another 1:1 now to even up the garage as it is a bit uneven at present with her in front!!!!:rolleyes:

[AmonFan]

The ones i know of have'nt been produced yet.... early 2009 i think

[wayno]

Pleeease tell me they will be 1:18! I am desperate to add some of these fine cars to my collection. :(

Won't be 1:18 although i have tried to convince Will and Rich to do a Elfin MR8 as they could get at least Bowe, Hunt, Perkins and Schuppan out of the mould.....

If the Lola T332 in 1:18 would appeal to the Euro and US market maybe there is hope of some Aussie Lola's as well.....

[malscar]

I know of two T332 cars being done in 1/43.

I could be completely retarded but where does it say when they will be available?
Amonfan how did you go at the Historics with your display? did you do any good?

The F5000's Dave is making will be in kit form as far as i know, or made to order like his other 1:43 kits....

Sandown was fun and quite busy considering the suss weather and the harder times of late..... was good for Dave too....

Correction - John Player & Sons. check the front spoiler on the BMW.:)
Just had a look at the Australian Motor Racing Yearbook from 85/86 and the "John Player & Sons" on the front bumper is what was on the car when it raced in 85.
