Cool, we've got 5 confirmed HA/GR cars running tomorrow, I'll let you know how things go as the day progresses. We have to run in the Hot Rod cl*** as we only have the 5 cars, but hey, it's better than not racing at all
Nice. Vids & pics? Hell, it took us five years, and three cl***es of HAMBster, to get five cars showing up out here.
Any day on the track is better than one in the stands. A couple of brews with friends after makes for a complete day Have fun and be safe.
Not a day I care to remember too much. After a rear end ratio change, the car goes slower. Oh well back to the drawing board. I must say Barry and Matt have their Slantie humming really well. Off the trailer 13.4 @ 100 and change mph, and got down to a 13.2 @ 102 mph, don't say anything to the ANDRA team though. Then these boys get into making Johns Slantie go a whole second faster than he's gone before. That's the kind of commorardery I love about our cl***.
Nigel, what about the bloke who neglected his clutch adjustment and then decided to put coolant down his lane, supposedly to keep the dust at bay? Or the ****** idiot who was baulked by the green and purple machine slowing up to avoid breaking out, only to lose that elimination by a whisker and then post two 14.75's on a 14.75 dial in and end up on the trailer. Oh, hang on , that last idiot was me. All in not a bad day's racing after a 700klm (400miles)drive to get there. Next day was 9 1/2 hours towing back from Warwick and the trusty 179 in the ute didn't miss a beat. As Old28 said, "any day on the track is better than one in the stands." Don't forget to keep me informed regarding that possible ***ault on the overseas racing circuit. Peter
