Hope the newbie (have we got a name?) has adjustable springs or the nav side will be low on the start line...  :)

PG will be there, navigated by Mark-Paul.  Im gonna take a stab in the dark and say The Beast wont be in attendance...  The Lia's maybe?  The Hill boys? Spizz?

BTW - We'll be in the shed working on our own car so if anyone wants to take photos or do a race report for the site I'd be happy to put them up.

Got some more hp jonesy?  Water injection still operating? 

I'm hoping to be there if i get enough time to check over the car,

michaels out with gearbox problems(can't get second  when the car is moving), so he had to race last day of colo in third, but that made a change from being stuck in second the race before

Ian won't be going

LMAO!

of course what he forgot to mention was the ball bearing turbo, ceramic coated pistons and direct port nitrous injection.

my proffessional driving skills rely heavily on the reflexes & fitness that tennis provides. plus the cucumber sandwiches are a great source of energy to get me through the most demanding of off road tracks. i think you may be jealous of some of the 'blue rinses' that will be on my support bus.

did i hear that you may be doing some 'high altitude training' so you would be suited to the high seat position of the new buggy?

aztek-no amount of scooter preparation, design, & power will ever be competitive if the driver blames surface conditions as a reason for hitting pot plants.

anyway, back to the original question, is anyone else going racing, aspecially now the date has changed? (but i think most people knew)

i previously said anthony lia would go well in class 1, wonder if he still wants to go back to class2--outrights are much easier in class1.

bad luck to peter munday though, drove well all weekend.

well done to phil lean, performed well for first event.

congrats to all competitiors

To the Recovery, officials and other competitors that put us back on our wheels after our roll over on Sunday, a  big big thanks to you all.

The truck needs new panels (any volunteers wanting to learn to fiberglass are more than welcome - we have the moulds and should only take about three weekends to complete the job!!!!!!

But other than that and a new light and horn the truck is ready to go and won't be retiring to the rest home yet.

Buggybuster I am not going to enter into an on going conversation   however I need to clarify a couple of things.  Both Werner and I made an informed and safe decision for me to stay in the truck after we rolled.  If you had even been in that situation yourself you wouldn’t be making any comments at all!!

Faced with two options I choose the safer and easier option to stay belted in for one SAFE quick 90 degree turn back onto the wheels. 

The alterative goes something like this – while holding on to the chassis with one arm and releasing my belts with the other, (and I have to say I and most other women I know, don’t have the  upper body or arm strength to hold their own body weight ).  Then twisting my legs out of my side of the cab across the  control panel and gears stick which are between the driver and navigator in that truck then lowering myself about 1.2 meters to the other side (or the ground if you like) to then climb out through the front window. Something I was not looking forward to doing as its not as easy as it sounds and would probably have ending more like - letting go of the belts not have the strength to hold myself long enough to twist around and lower to the ground, then falling head first that 1.2 meters and probably suffered head or neck injury and a lot more bruising than I did.

 Even a number of very experiences drivers I spoke with last night all agreed if in my situation they would have all done the same thing I did.

I can assure you that had there been any risk of fire or being covered in any hot transmission oil I would  have release my belts and been out of there so fast Werner would have  foot prints on his helmet. 

And as for your last comment All I can say is that club racing is not about a race between two people, its about introducing new people to the sport, getting the kids in the buggies with dad for the first time and driving someone else buggy or truck for that matter and if that means going a little slower meaning other driver may have to overtake then so be it!!

aztek,

be prepared, my mother carries a housbrick in her handbag, so if you see her you might need runners instead of simpsons.

do you wear black simpsons, cause they might match your bruises.

last post this year (maybe), season greetings to all, happy racing next year.  well done to the webmaster for the site.
