June Shootout and Superpull.
Having indentured ourselves to the Chicken Tika Munki's for the season Lesley and I arrived Friday afternoon in quite pleasant T shirt type weather and proceeded to set up the travelling circus and chuck the car out of the back of the truck. Some time later the lovely Gina and hard core hot rodder Scottie turned up in a very nice silver Vauxhall
and we opened a beer and it all went down hill from there really. Except that it didn't.
After some thought and a bit of discussion during the week Scot had bought
some new, smaller jets for the Webbers and fitted them Friday night. Saturday morning with the number one driver firmly installed and Scottie in the vauxhall
we towed down to the place of truth to try it out. The car was sounding really sharp as Gina put it in the beams and on the green really smacked it's arse, wheels up, on the bars and away, a long gentle curve of a pass easing over to the left and back and out the back door at 13.2, a full second better than before, causing Scottie to dance like a girl and, I believe, do a little wee.
A bloody good start to the weekend but consistency was what we wanted, what did we get ? we got Gina, driving a clutched four speed manual, producing a handfull of timing tickets, none of which started with anything other than 13.2--, superb driving. And the Vauxhall was quite nice too
Due to a poor forcast for Sunday we ran the first round of competition Saturday last thing, this would stand as a result if no racing was possible on Sunday. Another 13.2 , just 0.04 off of a perfect predicted pass and good enough for second place , being beaten to first by 0.004 and a damm fine run from Terry clifford in his "Ratcatcher Resurrection" car
