Sunday 14th May 2011,
For some it started out with a chilly family camp-out the night before,
around the camp fire with friends sharing race tactics. With previous
successful Bellett winner, Glenn in his teardrop sharing his knowledge,
Greg was in good company.
Others chose to set off early and enjoy the morning sunshine along the
way, 3 hour trip from QLD NSW border.As the bellett GT arrived at the
Bellett campsite, it stirred interest among the other competitors.Was this an
Isuzu force to be reckoned with? IT SURE WAS!!
WITH DOMINATING TEARDROPS TAKING SECONDS OFF EACH RACE. Great to see belletts
holding their own and eating others eg;TRX v8s and Turbo Nissans.
Old virgin Hill Racer Greg traded his thongs and stubbies for regulation
race suit and boots.Really looked the part,however last minute pre-race
nerves made final pitstops tricky with all in one jumpsuit, but gave us
all a good laugh as he made for the nearest tree.I'm sure he was more
than happy with his times, ESPECIALLY THE LAST LAP.
There were 64 competitors on the day and with good marshalling each
car got 4 races with no major misshaps. Here goes with a few photo's
ENJOY, regards Gerry[ there was a rumour of a PINK GT running but there
was no truth to it]

The Sydney Club had many great days at Amaroo and other circuit over many years.

looks - people don't expect these little cars to devour their more modern units.
