TRD ke70 Posted April 19, 2005 Report Posted April 19, 2005 (edited) well our rally didn't quite go to plan, 1st stage, big spin, 2nd stage, hit a bank and got a flat tyre from it, 3rd stage,over shoot 2 intersections, 7th stage, nosed into bank, almost rolled, broke 1 hella 2000 driving light, drove the rest of the stage with no driving lights because backing off the bank the lights got unplugged, from then on we battled a bad handling car and to top things off tony broke the gear shift on the last stage and finished the rally with only third gear. finished 10th outright and 2nd in class(1600cc). next event is the second round of KCF at jimna about 3 weeks. shit we've got some work ahead of us before then. it was good to see Teddy up there. flat tyre Edited April 19, 2005 by TRD ke70 Quote

99 Posted April 20, 2005 Report Posted April 20, 2005 Tony, damned fine effort. I can't remember hearing so many stories about overshooting corners since my life!! I personally did about 4, so now I don't feel so bad knowing you (rally god) did too. But mine were at 2 spectator points, beat that!!! ha ha Overall though, I found it to be a good rally - the roads were indeed effing GREAT!! I lurve the fast flowing stuff, less so the twisty roads. Nice mix, good to see new roads. Quote
trd Posted April 20, 2005 Report Posted April 20, 2005 (edited) its good to see that u finished. subarus do go sideways! iam on the phone to prodrive now... now as for the specy points, we wacked into a bank about 500 metres before the spectators & pulled the r/r tyre off the rim & the second time through i spun & hit a bank & we almost rolled, but went it hit the bank,the plug for the spot lites unpluged, sooooo only headlites for the next 10kms we were 7300rpm in 5th with the shift lite on going over a crest with only 55watt blubs in the h/lites. god i love rallying http://www.save-ferris.org/gallery/Benarki...100B4150?full=1 are u doing kcf 2????????????? somebody has video of all the cars at that specy point!
