It's rally report time again guys :wink:
Well, SS1 - spun off on the beach road and dropped over 2 mins, stood still wheel spinning on mud/muck/slurry!! Couldn't get it in to reverse so co-driver and marshalls had to push the car back on the road!!!! :oops:
SS2 - cancelled due to the crew that started behind me rolling in to a river on their roof!!! The same river i went off into in Feb for those of you that actually read these reports.
SS3 - 2nd fastest 1400 by 2 secs from a 500kg Blackbird powered Darrian which turned out to be 550kg's!!!
SS4 - fastest 1400 by 30 something seconds 8)
SS5 - fastest 1400 by 39secs even with a puncture for the last 2 miles :o 8)
SS6 - fastest 1400 by 51secs :o :o
Overall result, 18th O/all and 1st in class by 5 seconds, well happy tbh!!!
This was probably the most rewarding result I've had as I dropped 2mins and 2 secs to the nova which ultimately finished 2nd in class behind us, on SS1.
That Nova had a Bowyer 1400 16v engine it too 8)
On stages 3,4,5 +6 i took an average of 10seconds a stage out of the Nova which won the 1600 class too 8) that Nova had a 190bhp Bowyer 16v engine and finished 10th O/all. Could have finished 7th or 8th O/all if hadn't had spin on SS1, but "that is rallying" as they say.
Big thank You to Dan and Colin again for servicing, cheers boys!! Very much appreciated, and sorry for making you change so many wheels and tyres!!!! :lol:
It's a shame that the car is going to a new home in the next few weeks :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
But.....
I have bought another Nova shell with a weld in cage in it and will be building this up from scratch next year, watch this space............
