Thanks to all for turning up it was looking a bit scary at the end there with the last minute dropouts but it all came good in the end with a nice relaxed atmosphere and even time to do a little tuning on a few cars.

BIG thanks to Graham Russell from Russell Engineering and Greig from Mini Classic for supporting the event through the awesome trophies and Graham for manning the BBQ and feeding us all.

Also thanks to the guys at MRC, Mark did a great job especially considering he was on his own and had to call a mate and his wife in for support on the day.

It was great to see the first year that small blocks cracked the over 50HP mark with both Gerg's mild mannered 998 and Julie/Wayne's beast of a 1220 with 60HP!

Rob's 848cc Sports 850 with 47HP is impressive to say the least.

Here are the results:

Thanks Josh for putting up the results, it was a great day , and boy, GR knows how to wake the small bores up , go the mighty 998.

Was a great day. Nothing like the sound of an A series screaming and trying to get out.

GR knows how to make a bigblock go, too. The only reason my 1360 got 81HP (and 86.6 last time it ran) is his magic RE282 cam. It's worth 10HP over the RE13 I had in before. Sadly, this cam grind is now NLA, but he has another in the pipeline...

You've mentioned that before, but what's to stop him taking one of the few (such as yours) and making another master from it?

If Graham had a `just ground' 282 cam (no, he doesn't) he could do this.

My cam has now done 11,000 MILES. It would have some wear.
Any profile errors get magnified when a master is cut. The master on his grinder is 5x bigger in profile than a camshaft lobe.
The errors from the master then get transferred onto the new cams being ground. This is why copying off pre-loved cams seldom gives great results.

Dennis

No worries Dennis, it was good to see you there , oh and by the way GR has finaly named the new cam RE83 , so far it's the ducks guts and he is already developing it further..... , as Aaron said, watch this space.....

Oooooooooo I better get me one for the 1412 stroker I don't use yet...
He better hand deliver the cam master for hardening, this time...

Fantastic day, and great results for my car which appears to have 3 more hp than last year. Only change was a nice new GR RE13 cam..
Id be interested in one of the new GR cams if they provide another 10hp
