NSW Dutton Rally

Hi,

I'm off to the Dutton Rally this weekend, with Stu Jones as my co-driver

The Dutton rally runs over 3 days, and is a mix of circuit racing, hillclimbs, motorkhanas and other skill tests

Stu and I are entering as a team, which means we both get to drive every stage

On Friday 3rd we go to Wakefield Park in Gouburn all day for a hillclimb, skills test and laps of the circuit.

Saturday morning we head to the Sutton Road Complex just outside of Queanbeyan for hillclimbs, skid pans and a closed road section. Saturday arvo, we go to Goulburn Police Driver Training for more tests, followed by a 1000m sprint at Gouburn Airport.

Saturday night they close down a street in the centre of Goulburn for a motorkhana, which last year was a highlight

Sunday we head out to Eastern Creek for laps, skid pan motorkhana, wet figure 8 and 1/4 miles at WSID.

The mix of events is interesting, as there is everything from full on power tests eg WSID, 1000m sprint, to circuits, to tight and wet motorkhanas.

There is one other mini entered, by Andrew Gibson, who we competed against last year. However, our class looks very tough this year with, 12 cars entered :
  • Minis x2
  • Lotus Exige x3
  • Lotus Elise x2
  • Escort RS2000
  • Renault Clio Sport
  • Audi TT
  • Mitsibishi FTO
  • Alfa Wagon (Diesel I believe)

Hopefully we will have fun, and be reasonably competitive The lotus exiges will be tough competitors though I imagine

If any Goulburn, Canberra or Sydney locals want to drop out and have a look, PM me our Stu and I'll let you know what times we are where

Cheers

Robbo

Hi,

BTW, the "All British Race Day" is on at Wakefield Park on the Sunday, so I'm hoping we might see some tasty classic British cars, including minis in town on Saturday night

Cheers

Robbo

Hi,

Unless you are the Tuxes it is a long way 10km out of Goulburn In winter it is guaranteed to be one of the coldest places in NSW, as the windchill is allways high However, cold is good for superchargers

Cheers

My brother in-law attended St Pat's boarding school in Goulburn for a year or so, one of his teachers there was a mountaineer and climbed in places such as the Himalayas. He claimed that the main street of Goulburn, with a fresh wind blowing through was the coldest place on earth!
