Roadsters Racing in AUS - 2012 Phillip Island Classic.

[DJ-01447]

Howdy all.

Drove my 510 to Phillip Island for the 2012 Phillip Island Classic last weekend. It's the biggest race meeting for historic vehicles in the southern hemisphere with cars from all over the world participating. The entry list was over 500 vehicles ranging from F1, F5000 through to pre World War II specials and Datsun Roadsters!

This year there were 5 participating, one of them being the famous Jack Scoville Datsun 2000. Attached ia a shot of the car taken on the weekend.

There are more shots from the weekend on my Webshots folder at: http://rides.webshots.com/album/582481127XWGAka

Cheers,

Dave

I love that Jack Scoville car! I plan on painting my 67 vintage racer the same scheme. The big difference will be mine is a 1600 not a 2000. Great pics!!!

Further to my initial e-mail, the track that the event was held at can be viewed here: http://www.phillipislandcircuit.com.au/map.html

Further to this, this video gives some idea of the track from a drivers perspective, albeit in a Mazda RX2. Turn 1 is FAST! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQ59oK73QHo

Some on board video of my car, taken by a Porsche.
I'm off pole position in all four races, best margin, over the Shelby Mustang, 6 laps, was 18 seconds.

Oh, and this one, again off pole 1, we get a Safety Car midway, the Shelby has GONE!, and i missed a gear on Green Flag, race, from about the 5.00 minute mark!
