Pretty close quali times there , just a question about the Capri was wondering if it is geared right for that sort of motor i put in it to run on wood there

 

not sure on that

can you remember the gearing that it has

Well I must say it was an absolute pleasure to drive these cars last night. Well worth the 5 hour round trip drive. I left Tony's place before the final results were announced so I have no idea who finished where. This group were faster than last year's gathering so kudos goes to all entrants.

That's a pretty awesome commitment Mark so thanks for that. I also noticed they are a quicker bunch except for my Capri.

I have had the results sent to me this afternoon and will get them posted later on to night

but I can say they are quit different from the qualifying

unless you are me and finished in the same place

at least my car is consistent

Hi All,

 

Thanks for hosting the round. Many congrats to the various podiumites....

 

Pleased to see my entry move up from qualifying - imagine how good things would be if it qualified better......

 

Next !!

Cheers,

 

Tony.

 

There's only two questions:

 

1. What direction do you go

2. What's the Lap Record?

Congrats to Celina and his first place finish. Really appreciate the effort put forth by the drivers, marshalls and timers.

Onto the next event event and I put my money on Orakei. It will be fun to see how it plays out. David we do not say it enough but thank you for keeping everything on track.

Aloha

Dale

Ok i'll try and give you guys some feedback on your cars performance the other night.

I drove in blue lane. I rate myself as a very good driver but a s#!t car builder, yet in meetings in NZ I can be found near the pointy end of competition.

Celina's car was a good solid performer but I didn't think it would be a winner.

Peter Gunn; Capri was lightning fast but tyre grip wasn't able to count with all the power. However I really enjoyed driving the beast.

BMW M1, my notes say "a bit juddery, but good" Had to ease off round some corners but certainly not as well planted as the top M1's.

Superslab; your M1 was unpredictable. Would have a tendency to just let go on a corner that previously I could fly round.

Aloha; Great car, can I buy it please. Can't fault it, from memory fastest lap by me, 4,250sec.

 

Remember guys, there's 20 cars but only 1 winner. You all have built some mighty fine machines, but in this company every flaw will show its ugly head, don't be disheartened.

 

cheers.
