Thank god for in-car video footage. Someone stole 30s off of me simply because "someone" decided my time couldn't possibly be right!

Hopefully I can get it back and they can decide that the time they actually recorded me getting was infact correct.

I am with the other guys, I am all for robbing guys with too much talent of some time here and there....keeps them honest :)

But, sucks if what i understand is actually true! Surely common sense will prevail and you will get your original time reinstated

Just fill in the form Andy, all your start times are in sequence and the order you crossed the line is via transmitter... with 30sec its a no brainer.

We had about four stages last year with discrepencies - but only lost out on about 7 sec which we left in case it decided anything.

TT

Yeah it's common Snowy, don't worry your precious head about it, as it's not really a conspiracy against you :)

Glenney did a superb job yesterday, that car is set up beautifully now.

YT though, fark! I know the car is a weapon, but sweet baby Jesus old Pointy can drive.

Greg,...... :(

This is what greeted us the morning of the 3rd day. We changed it last night but Marks now only in RWD.

Snowy's cars suffered an engine failure today,,,not sure how bad it is,,,hope he can fix it.

Neil.

ouch! that's a serious accident:(

Snowy has the worst luck... hopefully its rings or something they can continue on with and not a bearing issue... bummer

looks like whoever keeps it on the black stuff and doesn't break anything is going to win it

Update,,,seems snowmans engine is okay,,,but he's in need of a panel beater.

God I'm glad I'm back in sydney,,,Tassie is so bloody cold.

Mark broke a rear suspension arm today after the last stage,,,the CASE Tractor guys welded it back together and he'll be running again tomorrow.

Seems the RX8 may not be out,,,Mazda are shipping replacement parts as I type.

Neil.

    • 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.
