It will be interesting to see how Matt Hanson goes with the Porter. They have done a lot of work on the car and it is good to hear that he is much happier with the handling now and is confident that it is on the right track.

It also has one of the best sounding engines.....

I woulda thought a porter would have been pretty well sorted by design? or was the handling situation things like ackermann/steering or spring/shock settings?

  "a porter would have been pretty well sorted by design?"

I think that's a condradiction in terms - no, i am not a big fan of the Porter chassis!!!

Hey Boss Truck, you might have to explain to me what a "friday arvo, monday morning car" is?

I will be at Gundy as the C.R.O (Competitor Relations Officer) give us a tap on the shoulder, always keen to have a chat.

Friday Arvo is think about the weekend and Monday morning is spent hung over from what you dreamed up last Friday.

Never heard that saying before, but i have certainly had the experience a few times, well maybe a couple of hundred times!!!

So it was more tweak and test than anything else. I would have thought so for something worth that many dollars.

Have fun TD - here's hoping everyone leaves you alone in an official capacity!

Paul Grant's just about ready to go, not sure if Grub is racing, though prob not if Aztecks racing! haha!

Im guessing the usual crowd out of Campbells shed will be there - and I know Greg loves the track so the porsche may be there too Im guessing.

With the potential of that car and the potential of the driver it won't be long before he has his first outright win.

Hey Aaron, do you still need to store your race car and trailer the week before Gundi? Its all good this end, just let me know when you`ll be coming through.

Cheers

          Thanks for that Kuster, but we have it all under control now!
          See you in Gundi.

 

The Entry List for Gundy comprises 27 Pro Class, including the 3 car Off Road Rush team, the return of Matt Hanson, interestingly the Peter Kittle team have chosen not to support the final round of the AORC. The Pro-Lite field is only 3 cars but should be a very interesting battle between Justin Watt, Tony Fehlhaber and Shane McAllen. The 5 car field in Super 1650 is a young talented group (well apart from the old bloke from NSW) i suspect i will now get a gentle tap on the shoulder at scrutineering tomorrow night from the driver of 210 for that comment? Daniel Brown and Tait Svenson i reckon will have a terrific battle for the Class win. Sam Barnes is the only Sportsman entry. The NSW guys in Extreme 2WD have once again showed tremendous support for Gundy, with Paul Grant, Gavin Mickle and Greg Campbell taking on defending class champions the Gwynne brothers and Chris Monk and Jason Telford. This should be a fantastic battle for class win. Peter Kozak has made the big trip over from WA to wrap up the Performance 2WD class. What a fantastic effort and he deserves to have a good run. The 4WD classes for Gundy are excellent, with the large fields we have been getting in Qld State Rounds this was expected. In Production 4WDGeoff Pickering will be the obvious favourite and will want to bounce back from his recent and very rare DNF. The local charge will be led by Michael Topfer, Andrew Weekes and Roger Vickory. One to watch is the very talented youngster Clayton Chapman. Colin Hunter will have some good competition in Extreme 4WD from Robert Chapman, Warren Denham and Mark Lacey.

I think Matt Hanson will be right up there this weekend....  Saw Matt and the car earlier in the week.  The car is looking great and after some recent work and testing, Matt is very happy with the improvements on the car. 

I just noticed whilst looking at the entry list that Aaron (Azteck) is not on there? Am i mistaken in believing he was intending to enter Gundy?

Glad to see the class changes we had to have really made a difference at nation level

So sorry Tassie Devil didn't know it was a crime to have my own point of view.Your successful and positively received changes must be amongst the higher class racers, not lower class state scum like myself.Wether Im over it or not makes no difference as we didn,t get a say anyway.

I dont want to get into a sh*tfight on the forum...
But everyone can have their say on whatever topic they want, just depends on how much effort you want to put in.
Speaking of effort, quite a few people put a hell of a lot in (not me by the way), and the fact is that we cannot disagree with decisions if we were not involved at the higher levels of decision making. (forums dont count)
Tassie, dont be put off...you are doing what you beleive is correct, and you are putting the effort in! (a different opinion will always exist)
Off road is booming, is it due to the cams/panels decisions? Or has John Howard got the country running so well we can afford better buggies and bigger race entries?
Anyway...goodluck to all at Gundy (you know, the race with lots of entries)
