Great vid Pete (and Lisa of course!). Makes me very envious seeing and hearing snippets of the racing down there, well done to all those who were
involved in the organisation and participated in the event.

The worst part about a list is remembering where you put it.

This motor is now running IDA's instead of the injection and making much more power with the changeover! I still can't work this out, I was
always a strong believer in EFI ???

I think EFI is going to be better than IDA's , you have so much more control . Were you running wideband or narrowband . What injectors/fuel pressure
regulator . Did the fuel rail store enough fuel at constant WOT for the 1/4 .
There are so many things to consider when installing a full efi system . Even simple things like altitude correction can make a difference . Not all
stand alone systems will have these features and some may be good for a base simple tune but will not work as well as an IDA on full throttle thats
jetted correctly . And the most important is logging ability . You can actually see whats going on !

Rose I think that if you looked closely there were still a lot of rocks left in the paddock. It was a case of use what you had. I can remember many
years ago whilst holidaying with my parents in our kombi I was told the walls were buildt to keep the rabbits out of the paddocks. Too many rabbits in
Victoria.

fences that is.

From the Dry Stone Walls Association website:
"The construction of Australia's dry stone walls not only marked the boundaries of land-holdings and defined paddocks and stockyards but also helped
to clear the land so that crops could be grown and sheep and cattle could be safely introduced. Such walls were also used as a barrier against the
'rabbit plague' that, at one time, threatened economic ruin for many farming families. In some places, such as mining areas and difficult terrain,
the craft was used to construct retaining walls for roads or create flat land for housing."
Convicts certainly built some of the dry stone walls in Tasmania and I was always told that some of those in the land surrounding Geelong were built
by prisoners, but that might be unreliable.
