AWDCC Rapid Sprint Wilby Raceway: Round 3, June 26 2016.

Luke Hunter July 3, 2016

Round 3 of the AWDCC Rapid Lap dash was held out at Wilby Motorsport park 10 min south of Yarrawonga and just a little over an hour’s drive from Albury. 

The track its self is 1km long, producing very quick lap times.Robert Forest in his XD Falcon v8 produced a time of 0:38.6135 that landed him 14th place out of 38 (Yes 38) Competitors for the day.

Something a bit different this time was Peter Cullen's turbo Ae92 Corolla. 

The 4age power plant made all the right turbo noises, sounding very unique on the day. 

Check out the low mount. As l approached Peter for a chat it was clear something was not right with the steering assemblies as they rushed around to try and fix it before the next session. Never did get to have a proper chat but hopefully in the future. He did however post a 0:39.5146 to come in 23rd

A bit of drama didn't stop Mitchel Warnock setting a 0:38.8518 to end up 19th in his LS powered R33. 

The nasty mess the lay within the engine bay, the belt had eaten though a radiator hose so it looked much worse that it was.

Jake Lucas's farther Rex, seen here cocking a wheel. Went a 0:40.7042 only just faster than Jake who set a 0:40.7784! So close!!

Jake also had an e36 rag top out for some fun, I wonder if he can keep bringing a new car every round for the rest of the year?

His LS S13 isn't far away from being finished so hopefully next time he will be back in that!

 

The groups were very well balanced, placing cars with similar lap times together can be quite hard I bet, but the club did a great job! Having minimal lap traffic for everyone.  

That Just about wraps up this post, these days have a really great atmosphere, thanks to all that helped to  organise the day, because it  really was well organised!
