Cameron spanked us all and ran the fastest time of the day. He ran a 1.40 which was extremely quick. He's a very tallented driver.

It was a great day with perfect weather. There were no accedents but unfortunately a lot of breakages.

I think every one is pushing so hard that failures ar going to be more common. Our own Leeroy threw a rod out the side of the block ending his fun on the friday practice. This was very sad and Leigh has my deepest sympathies on the demise of his engine. But we should just look at as an oportunity to build a new bullet proof big cube motor.

The Mizzis went out on saturday morning with a broken diff. It was a real shame as they were both going very quick and deffinitly been in the running for a trophy.

There were several other broken engines and another broken diff. Wasp and Snaken were 2 I saw with engines troubles.

I had the best fun myself. The car went well on its first real drive with only a few minor issues. A dodgy circuit breaker kept killing the engine intermittently. The vibration above 5K rpm kept tripping it. Thanks Gav for the help sorting It out. I also had tyre rub isues but some spacers loaned by the CTC guys got that under control. A big thank you to Garrett for all your help and support through the day.

Cheers
