Yesterday MSCT held it's first motorkhana for the year, it was held behind Symonds Plains race track. It was a great day and the track was very slippery and muddy. The Excel proved to be a great car around the muddy track. It was good to experience alot of understeer and oversteer on the entry of corners. Out of 22 competitors we placed first outright.
David Waldon tested his new Subaru for the first time on Saturday. I went out for a look and helped out a little bit with some of the setting changes. It was great to see the new car with it's new livery and he should be a contender for some podium places in the next few tarmac rounds coming up. Tarmac challenge is only two weeks away and they are planning on entering the Subaru in that event.
I have been spending a few nights getting my car to a semi tarmac set-up for some events coming up. The next two events I will be entering will be Domain hill climb and a supersprint at Bakserville. The Domain hill climb is tommorow and the supersprint is still another couple of weeks away. The car is looking very good with some 15 inch R31 skyline wheels modified to suit the excel. and some semi slick tyres to go with the wheels. It is lowered about 30 mm all round from gravel spec and a little more camber is added. Results for tommorows event will be posted up, so be sure to come back and check.
Today a motorkhana was held out at Kellyfield. Motorkhanas are timed events were flags are set out in a field and a track is to be memorized. We were allowed 2 attempts at each track and we took our best time from each track. In total there were 4 tracks. To memorize the course wasn't easy, but the challenge made it enjoyable.
