"Pumpkin" the Fat assed wombat
The Orange DRB 540 (Pumpkin) performed exceptionally well straight outa the box with its very strong alluminiun chassis, BA/F Falcon running gear, 290 Boss motor and 5 speed man. The ABS brakes were brilliant -- however the electronic throttle, (fly by wire) track control and manual gearbox required a different driving technique to muscle its 1450 kg. It seems to make lots of power from 5000rpm but she cut out at 6000rpm ---one of the last minute preps that didn't eventuate...... Awesome !
To all those who participated in the running of the event --Congratulations -- it just keeps getting better.
