    Wow what an event!!

    Originally started as a 3 man team with me standing in for a friend but ended up doing the whole thing with just 2 of us.

    Various issues including my team mates headers coming completely off his engine (sounded mint). Me having an oil leak all over my back tyre and some sort of electrical issue only allowing 10k revs in 4th 5th and 6th.

    Brought it home in p3 overall and 3rd in the national 1000s! I ended up doing about 5 hours of the 8 and im totally goosed today but wow was it worth it.

    Also beat my PB and stuck in a 1.59 flat on my last stint.

    Cant wait to do endurance next year with wedgie wolves. Well done to jase and all the army lads etc. Was certainly a tough one for many people
