I was in it last year and i managed to pick up a prize in the last round (thanks crash

)
So visit http://www.qrda.asn.au/ and go to the tipping comp page and register.

StuiE · 1 Apr 2002, 13:07 (Ref:248937)

guess who just registered

55th position............before the comp has started

there seems to be a problem with the scoreboard

Crash Test · 1 Apr 2002, 23:55 (Ref:249461)

Yeah, I wouldn't worry about that...it'll be all fixed after the first round when are are alloted some points

By the way Mt, the cheque, errrr the prize is in the mail today!

mtpanorama · 2 Apr 2002, 02:15 (Ref:249515)

DAVID PATERSON · 2 Apr 2002, 13:25 (Ref:249894)

It's a great competition Mark, I wonder how well i would have gone if i had remembered to enter every round!

Crash Test · 2 Apr 2002, 22:35 (Ref:250421)

By the way, it seems as though we are having a bit of a technical problem (WTF is going on I don't know....)

Please send your nasty letters to www.webtrader.com.au

A huh, my main man on the job discovered a resource allocation issue (or some such) and the website is fully funtional once more

HRT 2001 · 3 Apr 2002, 09:12 (Ref:250692)

I'm in under HRT 2002
I'm 41st Position
What are the actual prizes, does anyone know, you should know Crash

Anyway BRING IT ON

Crash Test · 3 Apr 2002, 10:11 (Ref:250726)

Prize wise- I've given up with an overall sponsor- it seems to be the kiss of death...

A few years ago we had 'Road and Race' sponsor the comp, luckily most winners were capable of claiming their prizes before they went bust.

Last year I signed up the 'V8 Experience' to give the winner a really top prize, but of course they went bust midseason.

This year I had someone lined up, but it fell through (and I'd fell shyte knowing that my comp sunk another Australian business

).

So at this stage it'll probably be 5 photos for each round winner, and I'll try and sort out some more knick knacks throughout the season.

How about AVESCO?

get them to go bust then i can run the series like it should be: with some real racing

hehehe @ gtr

mt- buggered if i know why i did that... i think you asked for some form the workshop, but I can't seem to find my ones of the old cars. Speaking of the DJR workshop, I was down there yesterday, not only is there Norm Beechey's old Falcon in the museum, but they are also preparing an EB inside the workshop.... hrmmmm, will it be for the museum, or some form of Larry-styled retro Bathurst blitz??

mtpanorama · 5 Apr 2002, 11:05 (Ref:252579)

Crash,
I thought you were being smart seeing as i am a signwriter.Just what i wanted to look at, people putting signd on cars.

Crash Test · 5 Apr 2002, 11:26 (Ref:252594)

lol, i'll try harder next time

DAVID PATERSON · 5 Apr 2002, 12:53 (Ref:252678)

I've got a photo in a book somewhere of the MHDT signwriter puting signs on Dick's XE at Bathurst. Of course, he had to do it publicly, in full team uniform.

Norm Beechey had a Falcon?????????? He was a GM man through and through!

What is this Larry retro blitz you speak of?

Crash Test · 5 Apr 2002, 12:59 (Ref:252685)

Norm Beechey in a falcon? I know.... I didn't know you could get drunk on raw orange juice... but I was proven wrong....

Bathurst 1996- Larry went back to the VP at Bathurst because they cut the VS front undertray.

Buckshot · 5 Apr 2002, 13:10 (Ref:252690)

Ah ! Thanks for that Crash, I was wondering why that was the case when working through the DVD box set ! Mystery solved !

DAVID PATERSON · 5 Apr 2002, 13:17 (Ref:252696)

So was it a Beechey car or was it a Falcon and what on Earth are they doing with an EB?

I remember touring there years ago when ELs were current and they had a couple of caged EB shells in the rafters and I thought what are they doing with them? Well nothing at the time, they were in primer coat and very dusty.

Beechey raced the first Mustang in this country and what about the Pacers and Chargers?????

Crash Test · 5 Apr 2002, 23:26 (Ref:253062)

Maybe if I go back next week I can look at the car again... let's just pretend it's Moffat's car, and that I never said anything

tickfordchick · 7 Apr 2002, 21:42 (Ref:254411)

I'm in

the tipping comp, that is ...

elephino · 8 Apr 2002, 10:41 (Ref:254683)

Mumble mumble...there are other moderators who have comps...mumble...which have been going longer....(-> V8SP10 - www.conrod.com.au).

Not that I would ever give a blatent plug.

RaceTime · 8 Apr 2002, 10:45 (Ref:254689)

Yes!

elephino · 8 Apr 2002, 10:47 (Ref:254693)

Nice to see that you agree I don't give blatent plugs

RaceTime · 8 Apr 2002, 10:55 (Ref:254698)
