How quickly a year comes around. Third week in November made the annual pilgrimage 1600 km west. Here’s how it went.
Day 0- Prologue. Fairly uneventful. Our main competition beat us for the first time ever by 0.01 seconds. I could have gone harder but I thought they were going to flog us by 3 seconds with their new ST setup and new motor. In any case it’s all froth and bubble to set the starting order and doesn’t count in the competition. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GaqIhBcP3sk Day 1 Thursday This turned out to be a bit of a debacle. Half way through the first stage; Upper Hermitage, I broke the universal in the shift linkage just behind the firewall when selecting first half way round an uphill hairpin. Very embarrassing. Anyhow, after pushing the car off the road, I purloined a bit of farmer’s fencing wire and hooked up the shift rod so it wouldn’t drag on the ground, waited till the competition cars all went through, selected first from under the back of the car and drove 15km in first until we found Nigel, the Irish mechanic. We borrowed his workshop and welding kit and put it back together and re-joined for the afternoon stages. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNvmJYPrLNU Day 2 Friday Pissed down rain all day. Reasonably competitive and took a few stages off the Girls, albeit down on power with a sometime 5 cylinder engine. Turned out to be a partially blocked main jet. Sliver of O ring from the seal on the rain hat mounting bolts found its way into the float bowl! How’s that for random? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9P2-n8QYPkM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkquJsyiuwk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8vC4u3OTk4 Day 3 Saturday. Ran like a train all day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIaEZFt1_D4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4-4aVKRw-k Day 4 Sunday. Ditto. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khSTjmnh0Gk Attached thumbnail(s) |
