Had a vibration in the front so he pulled in to check it but everything was still bolted up as it should
I think he's a little paranoid but he's in for the next race

Just back with some average pics..should stick to driving..but here are some of the De bortoli wines RS back on track.
Was looking strong in the 10 lapper until the mystery missfire kicked in. I am sure nev will give a full report but he acheived what he set out to do. Finish a race with car back on the trailer straight

live to race another day !
its fantastic you set yourself a target event to get the car going again
i think it was you who got me going again , last year ,
plan on an event about 3 or 4 months in advance & some how it all comes together in the last few days
ps
whats stoping you bringing it down for speed on tweed huh ????????
Thanks all for the comments. Yes we made it and had an absolute ball.
There were a few tick boxes for the weekend and we nailed them all.
1. To get there
2. To qualify and complete a race so I can keep my CAMS license
3. To compete in all races so as to get a signature on my license to get the 5 required to upgrade to a National Circuit license
4. Be able to drive it on the trailer at the end of Sunday
So, the sequence of events for the weekend was as follows:
Friday
- short practice late in the day to make sure it all worked. Seemed good!
Saturday - Qualifying and 6 laps scratch race
- Qualifying went OK until the coil lead fell off the coil. Had a miss develop after a few laps but had done enough to qualify so that was all that was needed. Thought the miss was due to the coil lead.
- Race 1, good start, ran well for first 3 laps then developed a miss but finished well.
Saturday night conferred with Danny who suggested we had the wrong heat range plugs in. Thanks to him new plugs were made available so high hopes for a better run on Sunday.
Sunday - 8 lap handicap plus 10 lap sctratch race
Handicap started well until lap 4 when I locked the LH front going into turn 7 and it felt really strange after that (like I'd flat spotted the tyre). Decided to bring it in and check it rather than continue so that was a DNF. We had a good look and really couldn't see anything so put it down to my inexperience and maybe a big blob of race rubber on a tyre. Otherwise car was a rocket ship with no sign of a miss. New plugs seemed to do the trick.
10 lap scratch race - went out for the warm up lap and as soon as I turned the wheel righ the LH front gave a shudder. Thought that feels like a shot ball joint so made my way around to the start line and decided to go for it. Again car was a rocket ship until about lap 6 when the miss returned. The right hander at the end of the straight was a challenge as each lap the vibration up through the wheel made it feel like the wheel was about to fall off. But we kept at it and finished.
So a little bit of work to do, a new TCA to start with plus track down this mysterious miss. As for Speed on Tweed, I'm thinking of going to Muscle Car Masters at Eastern Creek instead. Reason for me is that Group C/A have been invited to Bathurst next Easter 5 x 4 lap races over three days. Now that is every Australian rev heads wet dream but to get in you need a National Circuit CAMS license, hence the need for signatures at each CAMS meeting.
As Steve said, give yourself a deadline and it's the greatest motivation you can get. Once again a big thanks to Mark D, Gary P, Brad Stratton and Danny for their help over the last month or so. Without it we wouldn't have got there
Nev, seeing plenty of your car in the Bathurst coverage so far with this years 'favourite top 10' including the hardtop one-two closely followed by.......
I also saw that they Australian Motorsport Museum in Bathurst has the two Hardtops on display at the moment.......should also include your car so as to complete the set.
