    Default Targa West 26 - 29 August

    Are any Perthites heading out to catch some of Targa West this weekend?

    I will probably only be able to get to the Sunday Super Stage down on Riverside Drive on Sunday afternoon.

    I Know its a bit late, but was at Targa, Serviced for a classic, MK 2 Escort. Saw your mate Matt Teape, he used to rally in gravel stuff too. I am hoping to compete one day. Targa is great, except it is an even that is ruled by too many people with too much money and no skills. and to add to it the organisers decide to charge extosionist entry fees...
    Oh well, plan is to show that guys with skills can enter in anything and show up some of these rich punks who can buy their porches and skylines etc... thinking of going classic and running in a datsun...
    they not all skillless but it shows in the ones who are all about prestige only.

    Too much money and no driving skill has diminished or destroyed most racing categories. This is precicely why I dropped my long-held interest is Australian touring car racing. Those nancy boys with rich dads have zero driving talent. Throw some rain on the track and they have to call the race off. Back in the 1970's and earlier the drivers would RACE door handle to door handle rain hail or shine without swapping paint. Todays talentless shmucks are little more than glorified dodgem car drivers who use their financial resources to keep talented guys out of the sport.

    Gone to Volvo

    Never a truer word Spoken my friend!!!! My Missus used to race Formula Vee, and has been treated like crap from so many guys, and Cams, so she got the dirts with motorsports and told them all where to go. although now she is hoping to get back into it to assist me in taking the $$$$ out of it and introducing the skill and Fun back into it for PAssionate people.
