With only weeks to go to the next big event racers are all focusing on Logan this Saturday as the last possible practice race meet before the big one.
The 2008 Gas Tourer Championship. This one is for Gas Tourers but with a slight difference – only the OS TG engine can be used unfortunately the dollar drop has seen the cost of these engines soar to well over $200 from the about $100 they were once. For anyone not having engines on hand this could have made the event harder – especially all the talk of needing 2 engines hasn’t helped. The fact that you need a special pipe as well hasn’t helped. In spite of all that I’m sure there will be plenty lining up for the event.
2008 Qld Mini Cup. Logan is the Qld stronghold of racing Mini’s and they have a regular turnout of a dozen or so. The lure of a big event will no doubt attract many more – those of us who have a Mini in the cupboard will no doubt be thinking about dusting it off. It’s possibly to run one of these cheaply but if you want all the good stuff (some for performance, most for durability, and some for bling) at todays exchange rates then it gets quite expensive to set up. Fortunately you should get through on one set of tyres. There are some names getting Mini’s prepared so watch the lap records tumble.
All should make for a very interesting night this Saturday night – be there.
