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

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!
