I am still busy getting the Chariot ready.
found out the hard way that my new wheels don't quite fit on the front so had to adjust the tie rod ends to clear.
I have decided that perhaps a rear ratio change is going to be a good idea so the diff is getting changed out too this weekend.

Should be back on its wheels tomorrow I hope.

Yeah, new tyres all round, heavier springs on the front and dialed in some extra negative camber.

Weather is looking great for you lucky Bugg**s going.

How's the bookings going and is there yet an interim list of attendants.?.

Would be awful to be down on numbers for such a well run event..

I don't have a list of entrants but as of yesterday our numbers were in the low 70's.
We had a few drop in today so my guess would be that we get somewhere around 75 to 80 all up for the event.

We will need to sell lots and lots of raffle tickets and merchandise to make up the shortfall.

I love that headlight "stamp" just in front of the guard....he must have given you a decent hit.

And yes....it's all about the camaraderie ......not who is the fastest !

Sure......
