2011 Kerrick Sports Sedan Series
We went without a thread in 2010 on 10/10's, not going to happen in 2011.
5 Round Series this year kicking off in SA:
- Rd1 Mallala May 1st
- Rd2 Winton Jun 26th
- Rd3 Eastern Creek Jul 17th
- Rd4 Morgan Park Aug 14th
- Rd5 Phillip Island Nov 6th
The whispers are that the Aston Martin is going to be ready by Rd1, James I am assuming will be coming back to defend his title. Supposedly John is not entering the Audi this year which is a real shame. A number of the rounds are running in combination with the State Series which should lead to some healthy fields.
Has anyone heard any rumours, news??

Tony Ricciardello will be back!
It would be awesome to see a Ferrari bodied car in the field... which one would you choose?

Unfortunately three Qld State rounds clash with interstate National rounds, making it virtually impossible for Queenslanders to support both Championships.
However, the Morgan Park National round is also a Qld State round, so we're hoping for a big field that weekend!

Hi jd,
having recently smashed the Pukekohe lap record [54.5] Scooter [Kayne Scott] and I are looking to bring my totally rebuilt Pratt and Miller Dodge Viper SCCA Transam car over for for one or two meetings this year.
First of all we want to have a crack at the outright lap record at Pukekohe, 53.8 which we think is doable then it's over to Australia for a bit more "tilting at windmills", Phillip Island is one of our objectives, but we maybe tempted to run Eastern Creek meantime.
Not sure how to post a photo of the beast, but if anyone is interested to see it, then please explain how I go about posting a photo of the car from my desktop.

Mark, you can't post an image from your PC/Desktop.
You need to upload the image to an image hosting site (Flickr, ImageShack etc) & then link to the URL via the 'Insert Image' button above.
PM if you want more details, or if I can help otherwise?

Last I heard James Sera may not be back as Dean Randle was looking to concentrate on his sons karting career, which is how James got involved in the first place.
Chris Muscat told me that he was hoping to do the series but time and money were big factors against this.
Mike Roddy is doing a radical rebuild of his Jaguar with a whole new chassis by Ron Hossack, apparently the thing is going to look pretty wild. I'm told there may be two new Monaro bodied cars as well.
Certainly if any of the Victorian guys are out there have new cars or any news please let me know and we can give you some prime-time TV exposure on In Pit Lane.
That of course goes for al the local categories, no use complaining that you don't get any coverage but you don't get off your arse and do something about it.

Thank Nick,
hopefully the link below will work, however you have to advance the video to 9.23 to view the car's very first run at Pukekohe, if you dont want to wait until it gets to Kaynes segment.

Cheers,
Mark.

Now Mark you had our hopes up last year when you said you were going to bring the Viper across, you can't disappoint everyone two years in a row. One day I will forgive you for not bringing across the Peanut Slab Merkur for one last run in Australia before you sent it back to the States... PS: If you have any good pics of the car could you please put them up??
There is still the occasional rumble about the Peter McLeod Rx7 being ready at some point this year. The Tony Wilson Monaro has recently changed hands
and a current VIC racer has a new Monaro close to completion.
The car most fans are eagerly awaiting is the completion of that Hyundai Excel.... Come on Profi, stop re engineering everything and drive it.

Unfortunately Sandown was to close to our NZV8's Series 1st round, and logistically it was just to difficult.
Unless somebody, meantime, offer's me a lot of money for this car, it will run in Australia this year, and it will be fully sorted when it does so.
Kayne and I both love Phillip Island, which will suit this car, so the lap record for closed cars is motive enough to come over and have a go.
Anybody know what that lap record is?

Have the Sports Sedan (as opposed to Tranzam) rule changed recently? Does the Aston Martin or the rumoured Ricciardello Ferrari meet the 4-seat rule?
