Wakefield Summer 2013
Well for all of you people in Sydney suffering the rain, spare a moment for for the poor people suffering racing in the varied conditions at Wakefield Park, Goulburn. I actually think we got the better deal with the weather !
There were only three Porsches running and mine was the only early car. Sadly David Withers didn't even get a start because of an engine gremlin, so it was up to Geoff Morgan and myself to keep the flag flying. David as normal was the perfect gentleman racer. First place in all of the races, as always very smooth and the car ran almost without incident (brake master cylinder failed and was replaced with effort but without incident).
My efforts were rewarded with reasonable placings and like Geoff a almost incident free weekend. It would have incident free if the mechanic had done up the wheel nuts correctly !! That little problem resulted in a DNF today, but afforded me the opportunity to start from the back and end up in the same fifth place I left in the previous race. My results were 7th, 5th, 5th, DNF and 5th. Happy chappy !
I was impressed to see the ACT chapter of the Early S there in numbers, but sadly never caught up with any of the boys. I wish there was more of a show for you all ... Who was there and who's cars were who ??
I also had the opportunity to catch up with Dennis and Lyn who are locals from Crookwell and have a great 1970 911S that they have just got back on the road. Dennis is a part time photographer and was kind enough to send me the attached pics. Enjoy, as I did. Last pic shows Dennis's car next to mine just before departure to Sydney.
Well done HSRCA, great weekend !! Bring on Phillip Island....

Front of the pack in all of the shots, even putting the car on the trailer. Well done on beating Geoff's lap time. Not sure too many of us could match that achievement! Bring in PI!!

Nice work AB - was great to see one early 911 being used as intended.
Rehab continues - I will return...

I was at the back of the field im my 105 just making sure that Andy was behaving himself - he really put in some impressive drives.
When you are doing the Group S points, Natsoft shows me in Sc, but I was running my 1750 Sb 105. I am not really fussed, but may as well keep the points correct.
