Had so much fun last year ( http://www.rollaclub...mpionship-2013/ ), I'm back again this year to have another go. This time with a half-decent engine so I may have a chance of keeping up with the other guys. On tarmac at least.

Round 1 is on this Sunday the 23rd of February in Pakenham, gotta say I'm hoping for some grass on the surface like last year as it leveled the playing field, a lot. But we shall see how it goes, for the Entry Forms/Supp Regs, please click here.

Just need to find away to drive the wheels at the "right" end of the car and you would be set ;)

Good to see someone shares my opinion!

According to this, FWD may not be "right", but it is faster.

Faster does not equal as much fun :P

Being faster than a car with the laws of physics on its side? Sorry, but that's a helluva lot of fun!

 

Kickn5k is more than welcome to try & ruin my fun with his "right-wheel-drive" car. :P

Sounds better :)

 

Fuel pump noise brings back memories

I'd never really noticed the fuel pump noise until I removed the interior, I see why people pay out facet pumps. But, *meh*, doesn't really bother me, the induction drowns it out once you're moving.

 

For the rest of Sundays footage:

think of the fuel pump noise a the Sound of Power :yes:

To quote a Mini driver: "It's a nice reminder that the engine is still getting fuel". :)

 

The results are in from the NGK VMC Rd1 held at Pakenham on Sunday, have to say I'm pretty happy with them given it was Blue Things shakedown run & I limited the engine to 5,200rpm.

 

I placed 28th out of 59 Outright & 14th out of 28 in Class A. What is most important though, this was the first event that I have managed to complete WITHOUT a single penalty! No Wrong Directions, no Incorrect Garages & didn't hit a single flag.

 

*fist-pump*

Good feeling isn't it

Hell yes! Only took me a year. :laff:

I was still clipping flags on my last ever motorkhana. Trick was that I learnt not to knock them over ;)

Remember to always fold your mirrors in before you start. :)
