I hear you are having a cast of 1000's staying. BigW doesn't have any air beds left

I can't believe that I wanted to grow up

OK. So. We'll assume that Dave is the first one and then just pick numbers at random to fill in the rest of the field.

Computers. They'll never catch on.

The numbers are still struggling their way around the stage.

Round 6 Stage one has been run and won

 

First of all, i have to echo the praising of quality of the field in this years event, as seen by the teaser results, the overall times so far are very close and the top spots are open to anyone.

 

A few issues with ground clearance and guides as well as a couple of belt problems bought a few undone

 

Slo1quick's car had the most problem with ground clearance

The car generally runs well, and would be in the top 10 if it wasn't for the thing scraping all around the track, as per the photo, all wheels are off the deck on just one of the hump sections

 

The decision to run a standard front end (guide) has cost Alexis any chance of climbing the ladder, with the guide fixed any bump (and there's a shite load) bounces the car out of the slot, there is also a problem with clearance, but a sprung guide would have made it a much better package.

 

A couple of cars also had issues with the 4 wheel drive belts, both Teamred's and Rsclio's belts both jammed during there heats and both cars ground to a halt.

The right guide wire "jams" itself under the belt wheel causing the front axle to stop and the belt to spin off, i have since "crossed" the guide wires so there is no contact

The decision was made to fix both cars and restart the stage

 

Here's some of the action of stage 1

Viv's decision not to go before the stage, was to cost him dearly

Thanks for putting us out of our misery. Better result than I expected. Here is hoping for Stage 2.

 

By the way both us Kiwi's hail from the Westcoast - one from each island. Cannot speak for Branco but Taranaki is definitely dairy country though.

Oooh...22nd. His Lordship will be pleased. And Miveson score the 11th place 222.841 that I'd pegged as mine. Ah well... 15th will do. It'll have to.

 

Great pics as always Gazza.

Computers. They'll never catch on.
