SPEED EVENTS S U M M E R 2 0 0 9 I had an interesting weekend on 21/22 November – back at Ringwood. Owning a 7 day a week workshop doesn’t give you much time off to keep up with any motorsport other than the few events that are carefully planned ahead. On Saturday’s Young Driver Development Training Day, I had the pleasure of assisting Greg Hunter in “sitting in” as an instructor with around 15 young drivers aged from 12 to about 18. Most were keen and enthusiastic to learn from us and some were also able to show us how much they knew! … I learnt some interesting techniques on cornering that I didn’t know. Also on Saturday, almost new <strong>Club</strong> Member, Dave Durie came up for a shakedown run in his new (ex Jim Hunter) Group NC XU-1 Torana. As Dave found out, the Torana’s gearing might possibly be more suitable for Bathurst or Phillip Island! I am sure that he will find it more at home at a track like Wakefield Park or even Tamworth. It was interesting watching Kevin Edwards’ EVO run just before Dave’s run in the Torana and to compare nearly 40 years development in two cars that are and were at the top of the game. One has an “old tech” high compression, triple webered motor that is music to the (older) ears of some, whereas the EVO is a modern, Hi-tech turbo, 4WD, “chipped” etc. rocket. Funnily enough, every time the Torana was started, it was surrounded by 16-20 year olds saying – “Wow, doesn’t it sound fantastic!” Interesting! Sunday’s last hillclimb of the year was well attended by nearly 60 competitors, even though it reached 42⁰C! All officials should take a bow for an excellent job done in very trying conditions.
