Yep folks its on again and after the representation of two MINI's last year we know have the full complement of the countries race Cooper S' entered and ready, thats a 100% increase on last year

All the details are at www.mtbullersprint.com

This is hotting up to be one of the must see events of the motorracing year with 140 competitors and the event fully booked out. Jim Richards, Dean Herridge, Tony Quinn and co are all entered. Porsches, Lamborghini's, and a swarm of Evo's and WRX's. As well as six priceless rare early 60's sports and racing cars from the Porsche Museum in Germany being sent out.

From the clubMINI NSW squad we have Andrew Robinson and Andrew Jackson in car 23 and Stuart Jones and Steve Green in car 29. Of course the Sherrin Racing team from Brisbane are down with their 2 cars prepped to the nines!!!

The theme for the weekend is 'Valley to Village in under nine', we'll be stoked at under 10!!!

Anyway check out the site there are plenty of great spectator opportunities on the mountain and for the Prologue on the Thursday in Mansfield

Hope to see you there in the weekend.

Hi,

I am so looking forward to Mt Buller this year

The event is going to be huge, with loads of factory and professional teams

The 6 historic porkers will be something special

The run up the hill at race speed, using pace notes and the full width of the road is something special

However, I'm really hoping we win the "lucky door prize"

One of the 140 entrants in Mt Buller will win a prize of airfares to the famous "Pikes Peak" hill climb in USA, with entry and a car provided

How amazing would that be

For those who don't know what Pikes Peak is, I'm sure Scotty or Timmy or someone can find a copy of the legendary incar footage from the event somewhere on the web

Cheers

Robbo

StuJones · Jan 6th, 2006, 02:11 PM

The footage from Pike speak was from Ari Vatanen in a works car.

This is an almost seminal piece of automotive racing footage. When at high speed he is faced with the sun, just places one hand as a shade and continues to drive at speed with one hand........ just pure genious

Will post a link soon!!!

StuJones · Jan 6th, 2006, 02:16 PM

OK kids check out the following link http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...33997167560481

ITS AS GOOD AS IT GETS!!!!!

EDIT: Just watched the footage again... combines two of my great passions, car racing and piano jazz

Todd! · Jan 6th, 2006, 02:18 PM

Ooooooh, a run at Pikes Peak!?! That is crazy! Very different story to run gravel rather than tarmac though... Everyone knows what Pikes Peak is these days thanks to the Escudo and Gran Turismo.

robbo mcs · Jan 7th, 2006, 06:24 AM

Hi,

I'd forgotten how awesome that video was

Just take a look at the drop offs over the edge as he comes to the summit

Mt Buller has similar falls if you go off the road, but you don't notice it as much because of the trees

Cheers

[brief thread hijack]

[controversy]

Rally, eg WRC, and sprint, eg Mt Buller, is just fabulous for the spectator and driver alike

Beats F1, IMHO

[/controversy]

See http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...04112403800330 for a tribute to Ari.

I believe all those persons out there with the "CAUTION: Frequently Sideways" or whatever, are mostly driving with one hand.

[/brief thread hijack]

Looking at this clip, you have to marvel at how far automotive genius has come since 2WD Escorts ruled the rally roost. I know there have been a few hiccups along the way, but we keep moving on.

/end of 2c worth......

Lad · Jan 10th, 2006, 03:55 AM

Wow! those videos are just amazing!

i love how he's using every inch of the road to get round those corners.

Good luck at Mt. Buller guys! i wish i was going along

and good luck with the lucky door prize too ...Stu, you already have the added benefit with past experience in driving through gravel and mud!!!

have fun guys!!

MickyD · Jan 10th, 2006, 04:53 AM

have a look at Pikes Peak in google earth with Terrain and Roads turned on, and the viewing angle tilted a bit... It's VERY impressive.

StuJones · Jan 17th, 2006, 12:04 AM

Yep got a new design for the car thanks to Andrew Jackson from Ozicozi. Basically wanted to get a bit of contrast so that was the extent of the brief I gave AJ, just do as you see fit.

And the result, fluro orange and it looks even better in real life... should stand out now

ScottyB · Jan 17th, 2006, 12:06 AM

Dayummm... thats wicked Stu!!

Nice work AJ

minigolf · Jan 17th, 2006, 01:54 AM

Looking good Stu.

And yes, Climb Dance, is A-R-T!

Mini2v · Jan 17th, 2006, 01:59 AM

Looks fabulous Stu, can't wait to see it in real life, wish i could make it to Mt Buller but we have clubMINI's Australia Day Drive on with the thong throwing contest, now that's got you thinking.

Anyway, not here to hijack that orange wrapped BRG, looks

Hi Stu,

That looks sensational

I hope all that vinyl doesn't weigh the car down too much

After all, don't forget AJ is competing with me

I actually asked AJ to use the extra special lead weighted vinyl

Cheers
