love that DBS ... nice shots
Great work, Dave. What's the verdict? Good bits, bad bits, boring bits?
There weren't really any bad bits, everyone got along, had fun and were responsible. No one drove dangerously I think there was only 1 speeding ticket the whole trip and that was only 135/110.
The boring bits were the long freeway stretches..... But we stopped and took detours the whole way so we kept it interesting.
The track day at Calder park wasn't very full on like the eastern creek one in march, but the make a wish kids had so much fun which was rewarding.
The GOR was fantastic, awesome weather not much traffic made it a great leg, even though it took us 16hrs!!!
Skidpan day was awesome, although only 7-10 of the 30 cars got on the 'track'. I had a drive at the skid pan which was good fun.
Although we had a prelude in march, this was the first major event, and it went off without a hitch. I'm looking forward to the next run which you all should come along too. Melbourne to coffs harbour.
Some nice stuff there Dave, well done. Nice to see some of the cars getting their guts absolutely thrashed out of them

Thanks for the shots Dave! As always, great work with the camera and glad you got to enjoy the last day with a bit of fun in one of the cars ;-)
More shots are to come (right Dave?)as well as over 250GB of video footage that is being edited as we speak set for release just before X-mas (in a DVD format) with a few small previews before then ready for your YouTube viewing pleasure. Check out the Auzrun facebook page for constant updates and or add me as a freind on facebook (Ross Scutts).
I did see this one clip that I thought looked pretty cool: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHKRr...feature=autofb on one of the entrants facebook pages and though I would put it up. Only shows the back half of the grid. I cannot wait to see all of the other footage.
A massive thank you must go to everyone on AE that have given the idea the support it needed to succeed, especially Ash and David K. Thanks guys.
We raised $44,762.15 for the Make a Wish foundation
Assisted 29 entrants (62 people) have an amazing week
Put on a great display at Star City, Crown, Torquay, unfortunately not Adelaide this year :-(
Had 7 Kids and their family's from the Make a Wish foundation come out to the track day at Calder park (brothers, sisters and mums and dads of the kids also came out making it 30+ strong from MAW alone),
Destroyed one complete set of tyres (you'll see this footage soon no doubt - And it was on private property at the Gymkhana day before anyone asks)
Brought together a group of like-minded people who work their asses off for their toys and lifestyle (and gave them a place they could enjoy them in the company of other like-minded people)
And gave that group a place to enjoy their cars at some of Australias best locations!
Mission accomplished for this year I think and now back to the drawing board to make next year bigger and better for every entrant that participated...
Next year we are running from Melbourne (launch night is on August the 2nd), departing Melbourne on the 3rd traveling to Sydney, then up to Coffs Harbor on the 4th, then to the Gold Coast on the 5th and finishing up at Noosa on the 6th. We will be having 2 track events (NSW and QLD), 5 parties and one TOP SECRET surprise/event!
The plan is to cap next years event at 40 entrants still keeping it manageable and giving all the entrants a chance to get to know one another.
Yes. Such great guys, they came over from WA and run Tech 9 Tyres... Both the wagon and the Malloo had troubles from the get go and wanted to let off some steam on the last day... So they did! Should be on youtube by the end of the night...
Not sure if you've seen the GTR drifting and the IS-F drifting in the warehouse in adelaide... Was a bit of fun also:

How great are IPhone 4's, this was taken by one of the guys on the run!
Looks like you guys had heaps if fun, congrats!
That location in Adelaide looks familiar. I think I bought machines from there last year when they went bust.. pretty big.. Ideal for indoor donuts![]()
Yeah I have seen these videos ....isf did better than gtr tho![]()
Great work, guys. It sounds like a complete success.![]()
Congrats Ross. Looks like it went off with a bang!
hopefully more from AE will jump on board for next year :burnout:
The IS-F is just pleasure to drive... Put a few little bits and pieces on it and it's amazing! I love it!.
Thanks MHH... It was what we had planned and hoped it was going to be. Next year will also be a lot of fun. 11 more cars and a few extra things! Will upload some info when I have the chance and have extended the opportunity to past Auzrun entrants first.
A quick preview to the DVD coming out early 2011!
