Just back from a week in Adelaide competing in the Classic Adelaide event.
www.classicadelaide.com.au
We went pretty well. After Prologue to seed the starting order we were 35th, and at the end of day 4 had moved to 16th in the classic division. Only a coulple of minor probs which were fixed in the evening service. Gary read the pace notes well and I had no blond moments.
Some pics.

I think I will have to scan the photos in a higher resolution. Its a bit of kerb on the old GP circuit. You are supposed to drive around it, but it was quicker going over.
Posted by: Mueller Nov 22 2005, 01:02 PM
got a high res picture of you getting air????
Posted by: Howard R Nov 22 2005, 01:04 PM
I can do one. Any size you like.
Posted by: Mueller Nov 22 2005, 01:09 PM
1600x1200 would work....thanks...

Great pics!
I 'm just trying to figure out how the photographer could stay in front of the car for all of those different shots....
Must have be really tired if he was running to keep up with the car....

and looks like a ton of fun 
Posted by: Howard R Nov 22 2005, 07:41 PM
There were a number of photographers around the course.
Posted by: Howard R Nov 22 2005, 07:44 PM
I have some video of 5 or 6 stages on Sunday. I just have to get it off the camera and onto the laptop. Maybe tonight. Then I will need some help to get it into cyberspace.
Posted by: J P Stein Nov 22 2005, 07:58 PM
Heh,heh, I was gonna complain thet the picture quality wasn't as good as last year 
Thanks, Howard. I'll be lookin' forward to seeing more next year....or more from this year, for that matter.

Posted by: Howard R Nov 25 2005, 12:36 PM
I have replaced them with higher resolution photos. They are now in stage order and the rest follow. The air photo is at the end.

Now that's a cool shot. I even like the artsy/fartsy part
I recently got a pic from the guy that photographs our local SCCA AX. He is talented. He gets the speed aspect into
his pics without bluring the background. Most others freeze the car thus removing the speed.
(edit) Ayup, great stuff.

nice club sticker on the rear window.
looks like fun howard.
whats it cost to run an event like this?
Posted by: J P Stein Nov 25 2005, 02:38 PM
Not trying to hijack, but this is what I mean by bringing the concept of speed into a still pic. this:

Hey Howard - how about an airborne 911CS from the same race?
Damn! Now I have to decide which wallpaper to use!

Video is coming. I have the first 5 stages from last Sunday. I got them off the camera yesterday. The files seem a bit big. Montacute is for example 150mb. Do you have someplace I can upload them to. Maybe you can mess with the size.
Posted by: trekkor Nov 26 2005, 03:28 PM
"Windows Media Encoder" will allow you to shrink the file size to about 10% of original with some quality loss.

Andy,
I have fixed the video files and am ready to go when you are. The 150mb file came down to 20 without much loss of quality. The others range from 8 - 12 mb. Thanks Trekkor.
Grasshopper, I think I prefer colour.
Carreraguy, the name says it all. So many tail draggers in the event, they were like belly buttons. Check this out

Your car is my desktop at work. People see it and ask "Is that your car?" All I can say is "I wish".
The black and white is timeless. It could be 35 years ago.

Howard,
It looks like your VIN on the '71 914/6 is for a '70.
Really nice pics btw!
Posted by: Howard R Nov 27 2005, 12:09 PM
Olav,
The best I can determine is that it was built in October 70 for the 71 model year.
Posted by: Howard R Nov 29 2005, 02:11 PM
Here's two them. I have 3 more which I will upload when i'm back home tomorrow.

Hey Howard, let's make it look 25 years older! I tweeked Barry's version a bit.

Thanks Howard; great clips! Love the sound of that engine! Is that a stock 914 sixer? Sounds bigger.
We have some roads in the South SF Bay area that look really similar to the mountain run. You Aussies don't know how lucky you are; there's no way we could ever pull off a rally like that over here - too many laws, cops, insurance hassles, tree huggers, yada yada yada...
Posted by: d914 Nov 29 2005, 04:33 PM
amazing, great sounding engine!!!! looks like a lot of fun!!
Posted by: grasshopper Nov 29 2005, 04:43 PM
the steering wheel is on the wrong side great driving!!
Posted by: Howard R Nov 29 2005, 06:22 PM
The only way events like this can be run is with government support.
It's a tweaked 2.7 twin plug.
The picture breaks up bit when it hits the limiter. I must have had a blond moment in the rush before we left because I set the shift light at 7300 and the limiter at 7300 as well. I meant to set the shift light at 7100, so I spent a fair bit of time hitting the limiter. The green light you see come on from time to time is the downshift light which comes on at 4750 and goes off above. It helps to avoid a buzz on a downshift.

Great stuff, Howard. Those trees look ..ah..intimidating.
Posted by: Howard R Dec 1 2005, 01:36 PM
You certainly treat the scenery with respect. Here's 3 more that I didn't have time to get up before I went away for a couple of days.

On Montacute it is a genuine GT40 that passes us.
