Great weekend !
 
Saturday turned out to be a comedy of errors in that I ran out of petrol TWICE !!!!!
I thought I had more in the tank than I actually did, I managed to scrounge some more
but then ran out again right at the start line
Just as well it was practise day !
 
Sunday was a great day
The car that won the up to 1600 road registered class was about 4 seconds quicker than me so I was never going to catch him.
So first in class was a Honda civic.
Second & third was between my 1600 & a late model Mitsubishi lancer coupe 
I thought he would be quicker than me, same brand of tyres, but he had some suspension work & Koni shocks, bit of a cam etc.
 
first run I was quicker than him (but first run is often really a sighting run to check for wet patches etc)
second run he was quicker than me
third run we had exactly the same time - unbelievable
fourth & fifth runs I went quicker again than him
 
The improved pace of the car was all down to my new tyres
I had so much grip that I was lifting wheels around the corners !
When the photos are up on the net I will send a link
 
So first podium for my datto - second place, Queensland Hillclimb championship, road registered up to 1600cc.
 
Thanks for all of the advice ive gotten from the list over the last twelve months.
I cant wait to get some better suspension & HP improvements - woo hoo !
 
Cheers Jeff
