Thats a shame Andy.

Was looking forward to seeing your 69 up close, not just on the web or tv.

I've got some pics, won't be able to do anything with them until tonight though.

I also have a video that should be finished uploading in the next hour or so. :drag:

Best day I've had out in a long time.  Great to catch up with everyone again.

Still got a huge grin on my face from my run in Gary's yellow custard.  Yeee Haaa! Thanks Gary

Big congrats to NSW for winning the cup back.  Well done guys. :thumb:

Dam it was cold, but I found a way to keep warm....

Nice bit of video guys!
For a bloke who was going to educate us on the Sabbath, Boschvette seemed a little nervous, and couldn't take his eyes off the killer custard filling his mirrors!:rol::rol::rol:
A big thank you to everyone who came from near and far to be a part of this fantastic traditional day, and those who made a great weekend of it. Our sincere thanks also to the HSV Owners Club of NSW and their members for allowing us to be a part of their day. It was great to catch up with everyone again.:beer:
The next Leadfoot Challenge will be hosted by our Victorian Corvette cousins at Winton in northern Victoria around Melbourne Cup weekend November 2013.
This should give the Victorian guys a chance to make the most of their home track advantage, and for Boschvette time to find some brakes!:ral::kick:
Now living the dream in God's country!

I liked Vicky's method much better.  Her way I could get to smell those nice toasty brakes:


It was a great day.  Good racing, welcoming people everywhere, and good fun.

Thanks to ZEDohSIX for taking me out in his car during the passenger session.  It's been too long and I really enjoyed the run. :shades: :hammer: :pepper:

You weren't quite quick enough with the camera buddy.  Five seconds earlier when she was warming her rear on the hot brakes would have been a better shot  LOL!!  Sorry Vicky, the devil made me say it.  :lol:

I still have this silly grin on my face.  Needles to say I really enjoyed the run.....

I'll have to think about that one?????????????
Glad you guys enjoyed the ride.
When you consider the yella terra is 12 years old with over 110,000 k's on the original untouched LS6 motor, its an incredible little beast. I've worked on handling and stopping it, apart from a set of headers, and it has developed into a nice package. The weekend results were achieved on a set of R spec tyres that have about as much tread as a billiard ball!:drag:
