BTW i should mention that we (spencer and I) won all 3 of our races (group NC 1.5-2litre) even though we spent the time between race 1 and 2 on sunday welding a broken upper shock mount back together. in fact we won our class by a mile and finished up with a 12th outright. We were still 2 seconds a lap down on our best pace but were suffering from lack of power due to a little change to the air intake, and a cracked extractor. Spencer drove superbly on sunday as we enjoyed a moderate saturday night instead of the usual drink until you pass out evening we have after a race.

it was nice of some of the guys to come down and say hello.

hi sanger what were you in this weekend? and how did it go?

congrats to Terry and Rod.

Hey beer baron,

I was competing in the regularity section and in the group s enduro in car 131 which is a sunbeam alpine. It was my first race meeting as i only got my licence in march and i was just driving my girlfriends dads car. Lots of fun. That was the first time i had driven eastern creek to.

I went really well for my first time, The car broke in practise so i didnt actually get to do any laps till the racing, but that just adds to the excitment. In the 25 lapper we started last on the grid due to not posting a time in practice but by the time i got out for the driver change i had the car about 20th and we did a pretty quick change and ended up finishing in 18th.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
