Did they time your laps?

no timing just display laps that was good enought for me the whole event is a must for any car nut

Yeah, didn't think so but thought there may have been the chance that they timed it for shits n giggles.
Spewin that I missed out, maybe next time you have something on in N.S.W.

no luck went out for warm up and broke right drive shaft turning out of pit garage we had to drive through to get onto pit lane due to the works they are completing at the track. So a nice sunny day was spent in Cowes with lunch and some beer's. I pulled the drive shaft out and will get one this week. They look to be standard cv's but may be shorter shafts. I think we need to also get some spares

Does it still have the welded diff?? No wonder it breaks drive shafts so easily.

yes still has locked diff. It broke when i was driving through the pit garage to get to pit lane i had to start off with the wheels turned as everone stoped just around the corner. I need to buy some go jacks to push it around the pits. I got a left drive shaft but still need two right's one for a spare.

There's a place in Melbourne (on cnr of Spencer and Dudley I think) called Nightingale Electrics, they have go jacks for about $200 a pair. Its a chinese version, but they should work OK.
