It was good to see the MX5s come out punching above their weight, though I can guarantee you that the top X spots in the speed events were taken out by the turbo 4WD brigade. Unfortunately, we were just too stuffed and only managed to complete compiling all the cards and getting the speed event results in last night. But today is a new day!Thanks also to Eric and Katie, and Anson who spent the day standing in the dust and line of some cars to pop off snaps. I am sure they have plenty of work to do in the coming days to sort through these and get them to an end state. Huge thanks too to John and Bob for standing in the the shower of startline stones at the end of the day.
Yes, as far as events go, this one was certainly a tough one. Mostly due to our stupid insistence that we do the number of speed events that we did I guess. We pushed the boundaries of time as far as we logistically could, and any blemish became a mountain to overcome. But we did get the event away almost on time, left QR smack bang on our time limit (those Porkas were getting itchy to hit the track I think), and finished the event with the end of the natural light. BTW we realised on the way home that we saw sunrise and sunset at Willowbank! The Charade covered 1300kms for this event (only 300 yesterday), and I must climbed in and out of that cage 50 times yesterday and bloody feel it now. We even got to line up to get into the drags last night to the quizzical looks of every LS1 owner in SE Qld, surely champing at the bit to run us down the strip. Unfortunately for them, we were just there to return the keys to the gate.
