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

Howdy Stephen, any chance you got to look at them shell pics :)

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!

No bother mate :)
Cheers again to yourself and Collin for making the trip down, was great to see you and was good fun racing.

mole2k 28-07-2010 08:22 PM

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!

Be careful, I hear them Fiats pop ball joints very easy :)
Ah seriously, good going for an hour and a half, you must have been flying !

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!

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!
