Nice pics gents... The QLDs are home after a bloody wet trip back. It rained all the way to the border then stopped!!! Of course. Water was over the highway in 2 places and took me 9 HRS to get home from Bellingen!!!
Scotty had a catastrophic diff failure in his F truck (Familiar feeling for me - see pic)
and spent essentially 24 hours awake, lying in a gutter up to his nostrils in water and diff
oil and then tilt trayed all the way home... FROM KEMPSEY! Urgh.
My nats never really got started after blowing my diff after 10 laps on the practice day on Thursday. After a trip back to Sydney on Friday to get a new beefed up unit and then re-installed Friday night/Saturday all went to the poo with only 4 laps before it rained and the car got garaged with an
oil leak and back on the trailer...
3 million K's to get my diff rebuilt and discover an
oil leak but hey thats racing!!!! Congrats to all who ventured out. Great to catch up with the Bumble bees, Stefy, Phil and Karen, Richfergus and all the rest who popped their head into our pit garage to see the ole No:6 with its ass in pieces....
As usual a great bonding session for all BUT after 3 years of bloody rain its testing the QLD's resolve to do it again for a wet ass.... Sadly for us it isn't a long weekend as our labour day is in May so its a huge effort for all...
Perhaps a discussion for another post... but COBRA NATS 2011 is being flagged for QLD RACEWAY NEXT YEAR! LOL
Anyway, hope everyone made it home safe.
SpookyPT
