hey Sam - don't throw away the compressor! I think mine has started making noises

ah sweet. Thats the one I did years ago. I love how the re entry into the course at the bottom is actually a pretty damn fast corner. First time I did it I was caught out at turn 2 because the second time you arrive there you are doing triple the speed and I got my braking point muddled. Those trees on the outside of that bottom sweeper are dodgy though I reckon. I wouldn't want to go off there in an open wheeler. I'm pumped. We only ever get 4 runs at the state events usually so why not make them two laps. Might need to actually take a little jerry can!

You're welcome to it Simon. I'll seal it up while its still got the gas/lube inside it. Let me know when you want it.

Yeh, it's a fun layout! Do you know what time you did last time? Not that I guess it's relevant with everything you've done to the car since.

Slow. 62 seconds I think. It was torrential rain and I was on reoo3's and it was the second time I'd been there so yeah, I won't really know what to expect from it. What time did you do in that vid? That should be a good guide. Looked like a tidy run.

**metalhead** · 19-07-2019, 01:50 PM

Ah right. Don't think it was 62s though... The vid above was a 75.36. Was my third run and I probably would have gone quicker but I had some mechanical dramas. Here's the results from that event to give you some comparison against other cars, it was a tri-challenge hillclimb.

ha ha yeah definitely not 62's then. Might even have been 92's given that it was monsoon. Alright 75's. Think i'll run the softs on the back again. I still don't think even two laps there is enough to get any heat into the rear of a FWD. It'll be first time for me so not too concerned with times, I just want it to be close. That last state event when the top 6 were within 0.5 sec was unreal.
