Round 4 - Manfeild - Testing#2


Wind, rain & hail. An unwelcome addition to the second round of
testing (about 10mins in). Dale did well with his time, even though
everyone was slightly slower this time out (atmospherics, I'm told).
His time puts him 9th overall, 1st in his class.

Best lap time: 1:20.544 (in lap 5) (2nd best in class: 1:20.857)

The only casualty of the race was the Mazda 'Zoom Zoom' umbrella,
which will be sorely missed (especially if we have more black clouds &
squalls tomorrow). It collapsed into a heap when the showers came a
blowing in :-)

The team's pretty happy with the car setup now. Still making little
changes and improvements each round and after each race. The new diff
which is being built (a custom job) is still being finished, so we
don't have that this round. Hopefully we'll have it in time for the
two South Island rounds ahead.

We're probably going to head off early now, and start again 1st thing
in the morning. Qualifying is @9:30AM, we're 2nd up, after the V8's
test session.
