Ouch, that sucks, was it driver error?

Just going at 40km/hr on the gravel I can see how easy it would be to loose it.

Yeah, we ended up going in to Nannup to the service area, found your camp and heard the news.

We saw your cars at the stages, they seemed to be doing OK.

Rob had a boost solenoid line come off and cost him 3 mins ( teething problem ).

Gearbox also kept jumping out of gear which is an unknown one but assume they fixed it at the night 2 hr service.

Brad jammed in 5th again for a minute or so.

Damned Subaru boxes.

Is the chassis damaged or just the panels?

Not too many other reasons for crashing a car.

Yea , first rally , never been on notes and not driven a Rex on dirt.

Too much car , too little talent atm.

I guess he's got to start somewhere, expensive lesson though.

Hopefully the boys did a good job servicing.

Would MUCH rather have been there than here atm.

Btw , Busselton to Joondalup Hospital in 2 hrs flat was a reasonable pace. If the cops caught me , I wasn't stopping but didn't see one. Hehe

Cheers

Ken

what was the emergency? nothing involving family I hope not...

Not eligible for state or Int'l rally.

Btw , did you see that awesome silver HK Monaro at the rally.

Side pipe , big noise , big hp , tyre shredding action.

Loved it.

Saw the old corolla of Nicholas Box roll right in front Friday night at the super special.

Cheers

Dad , rushed to Hospital.

Terminal , will not be coming out.Still alive atm but doc said only days left.

Sad but he is 80 so I suppose he had to go eventually.

Still miss him though.

Ken,

Yeah, I love the Monaro and the Mustang. The Monaro had a bit of a hit on the 2nd stage, but it kept going, loved the noise of the engine.

Yea , unfortunately people don't want to learn there craft in low HP 2 wd cars.

Trick is to learn to drive the wheels off a small buzzbox and then step up when you are at the absolute limit.

Too many guys just go for the big hp monsters but never really come to grips with it cos they are too scared.

Ken,

your right about no-one wanting to learn the trade of driving rally cars, we all think we should be with the big boys:D Hopefully at the MC day we'll have our eyes opened as too how much we have left to learn.

Nah, we were down south, it was nice to be invited but I'd have felt a bit strange rocking up to a wedding in my SAU cap:D

I'm sure we'll here all about it in a couple days. Hope she is feeling OK after her accident.

A bit of a hit. He was prolly lucky.

I saw that hit the loose stuff at the back of the First Super special and every time he touched the throttle , it just erupted in wheelspin.

It's not often you can say that there is too much horsepower.

Actually it's probably the cart spring type back end causing 1/2 the trouble.

Yeah, I don't think Monaro's were intended for rallying, but he looked like he was havving fun:D

Yeah, most of the classic cars have major trouble with traction.
