Went racing a Phillip Island this weekend, did a 2:10, Happy! No Crashes.
Mick do you have adjustable castor?
This may have caused a failure as the lower control arm is then angled
forwards which could stress the pivot point. I worry about this as I am
using datrally arms with 4deg pos caster. This looks real nasty at the pivot
point due to the angle of the bush. I need to make my own set with a rose
joint at the pivot point.
Pete did you manage to beat Rob (north ringwood autoparts)? I was up there
on sunday morning for a quick look. Your car seamed to get of the line and
up to turn 1 quite nicely.

Thats bad luck pete
I hope the damage isn't too severe. Was it a 2 day meeting? Did u get it
running for the sunday?
What sort of tyres were u running (brand size etc)?
What ratio diff were u running? Locked??
Hope u get it back together soon. Gotta keep the datto flag flying on the
track!!!
Shane Smith had a big lose at Leyburn yesterday. Halfway down the straight
the lower control arm pivot bolt pulled out of the front cross member which
he reckoned was pretty exciting.. The locals were helping him out with
another cross member so he should be back on the track today
Anyone ever heard of the pivot bolt coming adrift??
cheers
Mick

Fellow OZDATTERS
Well it finally happened today at the Rob Roy Hillclimb.
I crashed the datto.
Hit the Armco on the bridge and totaled the right hand rear quarter, rear
door, front guard and by the looks of it the boot doesn't shut properly.
Hit a patch of water coming flat out across the top of turn 1, slid sideways
across the mush heading for the dam, (thought i was going swimming for a
sec), corrected it and as i came back on the track slid across the other
side and Wammo into the Armco.
BUGGER
Anyways, pulled out the rear quarter and checked the front end in the
Scruttineering bay (of course) we managed to have another run.
Now the problem is, the diff is too tall, has anybody in the South Eastern
suburbs got a 4.9 or a 5.1 locked diff laying around that i could either buy
or borrow????
Thanks Peter
