On an unrelated note, my truck lives on! Double sided tape coming undone seems to be the only thing that can stop that truck I'll have to start taking some video's of my exploits!

I was planning on looking at them tonight, I've not really been at home since the nationals with work and other things! I'll drop you a msg later tonight about them!

The racing was good fun, I just wish it wasn't such a long spin down on crap roads

Made it back home in a bit under an hour and a half though which wasn't bad going for the little fiat!

Got a good clear run the whole way up thankfully, none of the tractors that I came across on the way down.

Here's a group shot of us all!


My only 'action' shot of the day!

Quiet a useful photo for me. The car seemed to tons of grip to a point and then just snapped at the rear. You can see the positive camber on the rear wheel is too much - should have used a shorter link.

Turns out it wasnt the diff that was causing me problems - but double outdrive bearing failure!!!! freak failure! The balls from the damaged bearings got into the gearbox - it's not pretty!

Nasty!

I've always found it quite beneficial to be able to see your car driven around the track by either another person or a good video so you can see what the car is doing mid corner!
