Round 6 - Teretonga - Race 2



"I'm blown away, know what I mean!" Wind, rain & hail. Oh and did I mention the wind? :-) We arrived to find our camp in ruins this morning. The new Mazda tents were completely destroyed. Everything else was in disarray. The organ donor car survived without a scratch though!

It's been four seasons since then with warm sunshine, rain and even a good dumping of hail.


So Dale went out racing with dry tyres on, even though it got a bit wet by the end. But he had a great race, an awesome start, and kept right up with the Class C 4WDs. He led Class B off the line and never looked back. Dale finished 1st in his class, 4th overall.

There were a few incidents with other cars on the track, but thankfully nothing involving Dale.

Dales fastest lap: 1:09.434. Race time:9:26.147 (5th place: 9:36.050)

So we're working from a pretty bare camp ground for the rest of the day. The car setup is great though, so Hoodie & Dodge don't have to do too much work in the mud. Got a couple of hours to kill before the final race, so we'll be doing our best to stay out of the weather, and make the most of the sunshine.
