2014 RETRO NATS
KING WILLYS RACEWAY
SAT. 8th NOVEMBER

RACING ON THE FABULOUS "WILLIAMSTOWN BROWN"


CLASSES: FJ's,F1's & CANAM

Whilst I'm probably unlikely to make the trip south, I have a couple of questions.

1) what direction does it run
2) what is the track length

very nice looking track indeed. would look right at home in my shed

Track runs anti-clockwise. Start line is at the top of the main straight.
Lap length is about 90-95 feet. Geoff might be able to confirm this.

Cheers,PJ

Hi Racers,

What classes will you be racing

FJ's,F1's & CANAM (see first post).

Does that mean we might see you here, Peter? Go on, you know you want to...

Hi Racers,

I think so Tim, Now I just have to make an FJ that goes around corners!

Good luck with that. You will be the first!

Hey Peter,
Borrow one of Chook's "loaner" humpies.
He is the current FJ lap record holder on the Williamstown Brown (5.28's,I think... )
And it went around corners...FAST!!!!

Cheers,Andy

OK sports fans,less than 2 weeks until the RETRO NATS!!!!

Retro Nats

A great fun day of racing slow cars at KW.

The results are irrelevant ( Tim may have top qualified in all three
and he may have won two events) but the highlight of the day
was Bruce's outstanding 3rd place in Can Am ahead of ANDY ST.RINGER
who complained the whole race because his car would'nt go around the corners
and it kept falling off and I kept laughing and ANDY started to call me rude words
Hope we do it again next year.

A big thank you to Clare for the lovely food

What Bruce didn't tell you is that he was leading with one bracket to go! Geoff and I caught and passed him early in the final bracket, and although I was catching Geoff in the final seconds it simply wasn't enough. As for Andy St. Ringer, he must have had one of the worst days imaginable. I expected him to challenge for a win in every class, but it seems the Gods decided to shit on him this particular day.

It was really nice to race these cars: I love them. I am hoping to make to Hornsby for some Retro action this year, because I think that is the real hotbed of retros in Australia.

I might just edit this report in the interest of fairness and accuracy..
