What a fantastic weekend of racing and catching up with friends.
It was the first time Larry and I were racing at the same event, which was a little special.
We both loved the racing and took the opportunity to line up against each other.
I reckon he took it easy on me because boy his car has some mumbo!.

Good to see you and your car on the most excellent weekend Colin :tu: :tu:

Col,

Car sounds sweet.

I still can`t believe you let your engine builder lose! Time to find a new one.

Just kidding. Well done mate, especially for getting out there and having a red hot go.

Cheers.

The engineering and passion that has gone into that project is incredible.
It was mind blowing looking at the car and listening to you explain how it all came together. :tu:

As well as being a champion bloke CT Hansen takes a cool photo.
Who can guess the names of the two racers in this image.
No prizes but bragging rights.

STIDUB - October 15th, 2013 at 05:39 PM

Only 3 guys there own red suits to my knowledge, and it didn't look like Ian & I wasn't racing make it harder next time. Combo of red suit & the small sombrero on the dark suit hinted towards sides

I'm happy to compliment good work, always have done with Colin and Larry and any other car that performs above my expectations. If you ever do that Cnfabo, then I will compliment you too.............but I reckon that will be a long time coming :lol:

Woop there's that gulping sound again....
Funny about compliments it was only the other week you were giving col shit bout his driving....maybe you should get back in hillclimb car "non pobjoy powered of course so we can see how its supposed to be done.....

matberry - October 16th, 2013 at 03:13 PM

I'm sure Craig would love to show us how it's done, next time with a DIY engine maybe , hey Craig? Since your track records were set with a lesser powered craft, you'll have no problems....
