Not Ranked
These pics are from Hyden in Western Australia, it was the first round of the Australian titles.
The car is the same one he has used for the past couple of years (was Australian class 2 champ in 2005)
He has lengthened the rear arms and the front arms (wider footprint) and fitted the engine infront of the gearbox.
He was going to use 2007 as a test year for the car and go for the class 1 (pro class) title next year.
Well the car is more competitive than he initially thought. He was leading the race at Hyden (round 1) when he had a cv failure on what I think was the second last lap.
The fault turned out to be too much droop in the rear arms when airborne, causing the cv's to bottom out in there cages.
This has now been fixed and he said he will give the title a nudge this year.
I think he has also just now upgraded the shocks.
The next race is Finke (Alice Springs) and it is on the Queens birthday weekend (which up here is June 9 - 10 & 11).
I will be camping at the KTM bikes first fuel stop (about 80 -90 kls down the track)
I will get some pics and show everyone.
It should be cold as we have had a temp drop of what feels about 15 -20 degrees in the past week.
