Anthony, it must have been our trip back down the range that did it mate is it still under warranty as I said I have that running grey you can throw in it to keep it running while you sort out the other one and some tripple SU's as well just need to take a 5pound hammmer to the firewall

What a great weekend met some great people had a ball a well organised and very relaxed event thanks to Joe and Strogger for your camera work Tom was saisfied

And many thanks to all the organisers and volenteers who made it a great weekend spoke to many serious racers who said it was a fantastic couple of days

Neither Theo or myself got into the Classic finals however Mat in a grey powed FJ ute did, as did a 202 EK sedan (sorry I cnnot remember the drivers name but she was awsome spot on with her reactions and very consistant easy to see how she won the whole event last year well done

Well Done! To All Grey Motors that made it to the start line! I had a fantastic weekend. The organisers were very helpfull and accomodating, Especially for us first timers! We ended up not being able to open a grey clas as we only had THREE grey motors prepared to race! So we got to race against Capt. Nitro! All in all FUN FUN FUN!!!!
Heres some of my pics

Packing the Cars

Ready to Leave

My kids got hold of the camera!

First Stop for a Wee break just over Cunninghams Gap

Me and my mate Joe finally arrived after dropping the Wifes and Kids at Cherribah Mountain Resort.

My mate Joe on his first run in my Wagoon! Anglia was the best example of budget racing!

Therre's a car in there some where!

Alright, I will photograph my time slips and post up later, But times were a little all over the place as it was our first time and dial-in isn't as easy as you think!
My Grey
R/T 1.056.
60ft. 3.046
MPH. 49.94
ET. 13.816.
The run after that was slightly slower in ET, but my reaction times were better.
R/T. 0.756
60ft. 3.116
MPH. 50.16
ET. 13.950

Cheers Theo Z...............................

PS. Craigs FB ran faster times and Mph But we both only won one pass from three rounds in racing!

Some more pic's of Sunday's action..

And the saddest part of the trip.. How my FB arrived home

Note my eldest boys reaction.. He was gutted.. Poor bugger...
But a timing gear and a freshen up and she'll be aces.
