WOW what a great weekend
The car ran great all weekend,
Thursday testing/practicing with Rick Bates in Canberra was very worthwhile, we easily gained 5s/km with his help,
We rocked up on Friday afternoon, superspecial stage was good and with nothing to do to the car we headed off for a good night sleep.
Saturday was a good mix of short 5K stages with a couple of 20K stages thrown in to keep us on our toes. Stuffed the first spectator point up and turned to early did a full noise dohnut in front of the crowd and headed back the right way
Nothing out of the ordinary hapened a few clost moments with running wide on a couple of corners but all we had to do was change the fluids in the car and throw on some clean air filters and we were ready to roll again.
We ended Heat 1 18th outright,
Day 2 we awoke to bucketing rain, and my first thought was there is definitely going to be stages cancelled,
Rocked up to SS1 with the rain and lightning and thunder all around, and almost zero visibility it was raining that hard.
crawled through the first 2 stages and get to the third one and were told to head back to bathurst as the rest had been cancelled, Bathusrt had 50mm of rain that day, and the recovery vehicles were having trouble getting through the stages.
We then waited around 4 hours to do the last superspecial stage at Mt Panorama.
We finished day 2 12th outright and i thought we were crawling through the morning stages.
A big thanks to TheStitt and Wagonist for servicing and getting absolutely drenched on Sunday, it couldnt have happened without their help
With heat 1 and 2 combined we finished 10th clubman overall
Ben.
