Finished the race with all parts of the car still attached, unbent and undamaged. Had a lot of fun, although there was one section where they got their timing completely wrong which meant a 45 minute wait in the sun for a 40 second run.
So the results are back - 13th overall, and 1st in class. That said, out of six cars, two broke down and one withdrew. On the other hand, if we didn't have a Clubman Class, then we would have been in the "All 1990-2009" class, which I would have won as well. So I think I'll be a bit smug about that.
I need to get the video off the camera and edited, then I can post it. I'm yet to pick up my perspex with matchbox car glued to it as my prize, though....

It's been a while....
...but that's because I haven't been driving much this year, which is a shame. However, I'm getting back in with a bang - hopefully metaphorically speaking.
I've entered once again in the Fabcar 1-Day Classic , which was a lot of fun last year, and should be again this year. New co-driver as well, with my sister Kathy strapping into the passenger seat.
The entry list includes 6 clubmans (5 Birkins, 1 Westfield), plus the usual assortment of Evos, Rex's and Skylines, plus other assorted stuff. There's also the usual set of unsuitable cars, such as a Monaro, an HSV Clubsport, a Subaru Liberty, a Subaru Legacy, a Ford Falcon and even a Holden station wagon. Should be great fun if nothing else.
So, I should have a whole new set of video and tracking information over the coming week or so.
