    Yeah and 3D too.

    There's only so many video cameras I can operate at once!

    Swapped out the master cylinder today, I haven't been able to figure what else could be causing my braking issues so out it came.

    No pics, looks the same as before

    Did find a lot of wear on my new Mintex Pads, they stop great but they're only going to last two meets by the look of them.

    Also discovered why I've been loosing coolant. The pressure relief valve in the reservoir cap had rearranged it's own innards.



    Next stop RobRoy Pity the Wavetrac equipped gearbox isn't back from repairs yet, I'm really going to have to tool up and get into box building myself.

    White rides again, off for a short drive up a steep hill tomorrow.

    Still no word on when (if?) I'm going to see my gearbox again.

    Just back home now. Very wet today.

    Lots and lots of tyre spin today. The pit area and the paddocks for the trailers etc. were all extremely slippery.

    Mostly got video today but here's a few pics while I'm figuring out the video.



    There was another VWCV golf out for a run, first time I think I've been in an event with 2 MK1s!



    The aftermath involved a lot of mud. I couldn't even reverse the golf up to the trailer.

    Getting to the trailer turned in to a motorkhana!





    and a few shots of the clean up at the car wash on the way home.

    Managed to get 4 runs in today. Not really certain what my times were, they'll be on line later, I'll look 'em up them.

    I think the worst was about a 39s and the best a 33s.

    Track conditions were about as bad as they could be and traction was a big issue for everyone.

    I really needed that LSD today. I need to find another box builder that doesn't take two months to turn around a box repair.

    Not sure which run this is, there's in car footage to follow.

    Run1 . I had no idea what gear to be in. 2nd was all spin and 3rd was bogging down. Still managed to get up the hill though
