Was out welding up Ziggy today and thought I'd better plug up a few holes in White while I was at it.

This Sunday @ Sandown - 2010 Victorian Supersprint Championships.

White got hood lift struts today.



Bonnet spends a lot of time open and these make access easier.

Thanks to all that popped by to say hello today.

New setup is paying off at Sandown, new PB of 1:39:02

Racing was very well organised by the Fiat Car club.

Very diverse field of entrants form $100 Coronas to no expense spared BMW M3s and GT40 replicas.

Great weather and the car was running well.

The race format was a bit odd,

• Practice, 1 Warm up 1 flying and 1 cool down lap
• Round 1 & 2 - 1 warm up, 12 minutes flying and 1 cool down lap.
• Round 3 & 4 - 1 Warm up, 3 flying and 1 cool down lap.

I think they realised they wouldn't finish the day if they kept doing 12 minute rounds.

I thought it was all going to be 3 flying laps, the first round felt like an enduro! I thought they were going to leave us out there all day!

CHeers Guys,

Official results are up already. http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/re...04/04/2010.SAN

Timing was by Dorian transponder which should be a little more accurate than my in car setup.
