Great ocean road rally is a
classic rally using some of those roads.
Most classic rallies like the (F1
grand prix rally and Alpine Classic) are predominantly great driving
events, sticking to the speed limit ;^) and contain some element of speed
events with the hire of a race track, a motor khana etc. BUT because of
insurance problems these are becoming rarer. Others are a pure test of
reliability of car and compatibility of driver and
navigator. Like Orienteering in a car.
At these classic rallies I have
competed against Lamborghini Countach, Ferrari F40, 550, 246 Gt Spider Dino,
Lancia Stratos, Original Works rally cars such as London -Sydney Mini, Escorts
and Volvo 142, Holden FJ ute, 450 Kw Mitsubishi Evo, R34 Skyline GTR, 2.5 litre
Supercharged Riley Convertible, assorted Hot Holdens, Fords, mercs etc. The
most expensive car would have been the F40 worth $900,000 with the cheapest a
$1,000 Austin 1800.
In a drag race this year
with my 225Kw STI against a 429 Cobra across 200metres, the smile on my
face lasted hours. (8.28 secs on standing 1/8th against the Cobra's
8.31)
Have I tempted
anyone!

Subject: Re: Report on Spring Rally/ What
is Great Ocean Road Rally
Sounds like
fun,
Looked at the website....
What is the "Great Oceam Road
Rally" (sic) in November?
Is this a closed road speed event on the great
ocean road in Victoria??
Are some of these events speed events? Or just
route finding on open roads in unreliable British cars?

8.00 am on Saturday and travelling via Richmond, Back of Bell, Hartley, Rydal,
Lunch at Kirkconnell then through Rylestone to Mudgee for a stay at the most
luxurious Country comfort, a few beers with old friends, a good look at the
cars competing, quite a number of Datsun 2000 Sports this year, a Lancia
Stratos and of course the obligatory two dozen MGs.

fared.

60 vehicles competed in the MG Spring Rally this past weekend. Starting

500 kilometres of roads with approx. 10% being gravel.
That night, a wonderful 3 course meal (and a couple of bottles of Frog
Rock 2001 Shiraz) and then off to bed for an early start.
Day 2, an 8.00 am start and 300 Km of roads with 10% being gravel,
through vineyards to Gulgong, Dunnydoo and other strangely named towns then
back for a BBQ lunch at Mudgee. All crews congratulated each other,

Final results were posted at about 1.30 pm. More
congratulations to those that did well then straight into the car and head to
Frog Rock Winery where there 2001 Shiraz was being cleared out at half
price $120.00 per case (1/4 of what we paid for it at dinner
the night before) load the boot with 3 cases and then a nice trip home.
So how did the L20 powered stanza go. Like a dream and a first
place in class to my wife and I, on our second rally as a team.
How do you get involved in the next one;
