Great work with those cable ties Dave, ever thought about a career as a sparky?!!!
Not long to go now, my chariot is nearly ready, had the front end aligned last week, and have borrowed some corner weight scales to see if I can get the car to behave any better on the track.
I weighed it the other day and was pleasantly surprised that with the top on it weighed 1180kg. There have been no weight saving changes to the car from rego, only weight adding so that was good news. The really surprising thing was the weight distribution, 45% front and 55% to the rear. I thought there would be a fair bit of weight in the back, but not that much. Probably explains why it hooks up at the drags!!

Gav I'll be heading down (6.0 and up) along with John White (GT40) Peter Hancock (5.0 litre class) Wayne Proctor (5.0 - 6.0 litre class) and Tony Stark in the new Harrison race car. Not sure who else is coming, Warren was going to be coming but with two stuffed Quads and walking on crutches it seems he won't be there. We should all be heading down in convoy, Raymond Terrace the first night then on to Wangaratta hopefully late afternoon.
Are you going to want to fit those tyres first thing Friday morning? |

Hi John, Are you going up Thurs or Fri AM?
I am still deciding as to whether I am going to do the friday test and tune or not. At the least I will come up for a BBQ I reckon.
cheers
