Weeks then lodged an appeal with the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport against the stewards&#8217; decision. The appeal is still pending.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Motor sport is cruel, but I&#8217;ve got broad enough shoulders to wear it,&#8221; Weeks said. &#8220;I just love the event and I love motor sport, so we&#8217;ll get over it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In a further shock, the third and fourth-placed finishers Ian Wilson (Triumph) and Tim Possingham (Nissan) were excluded as a result of post-event technical inspections, lifting the veteran Jim Richards into third spot.<\/p>\n<p>The only drama in the Competition-Classic victory of Cameron Wearing and Ben Fitzsimons was purely sporting.<\/p>\n<p>The Adelaide pair, in a Ford Capri Perana V8, waged an intense battle with Porsche crew Rick Bates and Jenny Brittain throughout the rally, the overall gap between them at times as little as 0.8 sec.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/120508-2137-classicadel2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-596362\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/120508-2137-classicadel2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"604\" height=\"404\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/120508-2137-classicadel2.jpg 604w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/120508-2137-classicadel2-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/120508-2137-classicadel2-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/120508-2137-classicadel2-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/120508-2137-classicadel2-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/12\/120508-2137-classicadel2-293x196.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 604px) 100vw, 604px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Bates clean-swept the first two days and never gave up after Wearing overtook him mid-Saturday; the 32.3 sec. margin at the end hardly reflected the closeness of the competition, which reprised their 2007 duel that had lasted until Bates crashed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That was a good fight \u2013 we drove hard and it was a legitimate win this time after Rick and Jenny crashed last year,&#8221; an excited Wearing said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re very proud to have competed with people of the caliber of Rick and Jenny right to the end. After Rick won the first two days, we decided to drop the hammer yesterday and quite frankly went for it. We set the fastest time of any car in the rally, including the Late Classic boys, on the Macclesfield stage yesterday (Saturday).

Three of the Italian supercars were brought by their owners from Hong Kong, another came from England and many more from parts of Australia.<\/p>\n<p>Mercedes-Benz, which has participated officially in every Classic Adelaide, entered a total of eight cars and brought some of its crew from the United States.<\/p>\n<p>High-profile international media visitors included the editor of England&#8217;s Octane classic car magazine, Robert Coucher. &#8220;That was an absolutely super rally. The organization was fantastic and I have never come across such friendly marshalls,&#8221; said Mr. Coucher who drove a classic Mercedes- Benz 230SL. I just can&#8217;t believe how pretty Adelaide and the areas near Adelaide are. The rally is right on the doorstep and makes it very easy to compete.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The 2009 Classic Adelaide is scheduled for November 18-22. It will be the finale of the newly-announced Australian Classic Tarmac Rally Championship for pre-1982 cars, which also includes Classic Adelaide&#8217;s sister event, the Suncoast Classic, in Queensland on July 22-26.<\/p>\n<p>For the complete 2008 Classic Adelaide photo gallery, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.classicadelaide.com.au\/ca09\/gallery.html\"><strong>click here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>2008 Classic Adelaide Results<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Late Classic (1972-1990)<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>1.
