NEARLY JUST OH SO CLOSE

Hi all,

After a big week work wise and being banned from working on or even mentioning Sprintcars we nearly have one ready for Carnarvon.

Somehow magically we have got it together with Panels only to fit and engine.
We are taking the first generation 14 deg headed motor to Carnarvon but changing it slightly to put more tune into it, after the first melt down we retarded the timing somewhat to keep it together, we now have some flash needle and seats and some super big jets and are looking to get maximum power out of it for the super fast Carnarvon clay way.
We have thought long and hard about set ups for this track, we probably are going to try and get the car hard over on the right rear to drive better off the turns, may even try a Chris Ackland type super wide left rear, depends how fit I am to drive the thing after 6 weeks of hard holidaying.
Also we will not be to short on tyres, after the state title dramas we have plenty left to play with.

My impressions after last years meeting was Carnarvon was potentially faster than the Warnambool track, this is a big call but I would love to see a Ryan Farrel on this track, big sweeping turns and hooky surface.
Oops got off track there.

We are heading out of Mandurah bright and early on Friday morning, have to take the big gold bus but not the wife, she has to work so is flying in on Saturday morning, hard for some while the rest of us are on the road for about 12 hours.

The car will have new panels and lovely yellow paint but may miss the stars and stripes that usually adorn it as we are running out of time to get them fitted.

Well I must go, have to go to the Fast Friday wind up to collect Mick's trophy for him.
