1st Outright at MSCT Khanacross

Well what a weekend. The khanacross was fantastic, the Powrana track is fairly challenging and it caught a few competitors out. I ended up using the rally tyres as the level of competition was too high to win on radials.


A large field of  cars turned up, which was good to see. The first run I had got the adrenaline going, and after I got out of the car I was shaking. Lucky for me I was the last car on the track and all the cars before me had swept most of the loose gravel off the track. 

The only issue I had throughout the day was dust coming into the cabin. I have to put silicon in all the holes before the next event. Overall though couldn't be much more happier with first in class and first outright.  pictures to come

Excel back out this weekend.

Excel will be racing this Saturday at MSCT Khanacross. Really looking forward to this at I missed the first khanacross. Will try to run it on radials rather that rally tyres we will see how that goes.

1st in Targa Tasmania Rookie Rally


Well what an event... Phil House and myself in the navigators seat piloted a BMW E30 to victory in the rookie rally. An amazing achievement and something i am still yet to take in. The event started with reecie which we did Saturday, Sunday and Monday before the event. The event then kicked of in George Town with the prologue street stage.

The street stage was one of the highlights for sure, Phil managed to get the car sideways on most corners and put on a show for the spectators and also set very quick time.

Day one and Day two involved going through some of Tasmanians best roads. The BMW handled very well giving us some great stage times. We held the lead from Prologue to the last stage, with fierce competition from Ian Swan at the end of the event. The BMW was an amazing car and sitting in the navigators seat was quite a wild ride.
