Wreck to Race.

Here's an example of a pretty good lap.

Green is acceleration, Red is braking and blue is coasting.

I used to see a lot of blue on previous outings.

Turn 1 isn't ideal on this lap but the rest of the circuit is pretty good, especially the acceleration all the way from turn 10 through to turn 1

Last couple of races I've had a small oil leak from around the distributor. I can't really see a good reason for it other than excessive crankcase pressure.

I'm also getting a bit of a leak from one of the pulleys too.

I replaced the dizzy seals and added some non hardening sealant to address the obvious source.

Than I added a breather to the plate I'd made to block off the factory breather. (Hmm, maybe should have done that when I made the plate)

Here it is along with some new hose I picked up today.

White's off for a wheel alignment next Wednesday, the steering wheel doesn't point straight ahead any more :)

My mate just text me saying he saw this on a trailer. On your way to Craig's?

Yep, Wheel alignment time. I was getting tyres and alignment done on the Bora so I took white along for an alignment too, it's been a while.

Craig was nice enough to align the Golf for free, in return I'm running his stickers on the car :)

Thats now 5 Mk1's running out of Trackside: Dad, Geoff, Rach, (That crazy bloke from Coldstream) and you!

Just signed up for round 3 of the Vic Super Sprint Championships. 2010 Victorian SuperSprint Championship - VSSC

It's a long drive to Winton, I'll probably go up the night before.

Anyone know any Motels in Benalla that I can park the tandem outside the room?

Broke down there last night. Heaps of car trailers in town (of course). The towey said drifters keep him in business, cos he has to tow their cars back to melb when they blow up or crash

Just packing up now for the long drive to Winton.

The GPS timer is set to tweet laptimes under the user name TEAM_PRAGMATIC if anyone wants to follow my lap times on Twitter.

I'll head off around lunch time and take a leisurely drive up there.

have fun pete :)

have fun pete! all the best!
