Day 0 – Prologue – Wednesday
The Prologue is to determine the starting order for the competitive stages of the event. It was run on part of the old GP circuit. It was very slippery even though it was dry and 37˚. We did a 2.22. Beat our main competition (Curnick/Winter #416 2.7 RS replica “the girls”) by a second. Also beat Eric Bana (Black Hawk Down, Hulk etc) in his 944 by a few 10ths and we end up starting right behind him. Attached image(s) ![]() |

Day 2 – Friday
Starts with the Coromandel stage which is a fantastic bit of road. We really hammered it. Second stage was Wickham Hill and about 2 km into the stage the clutch pedal goes to the floor again. Fortunately I got it into 3rd so we drive through the stage. Its obvious because of the smoke what’s happened. The pivot bolt has pulled out of the case and gear oil is coming out the hole and falling on the exhaust. Back at the service area as soon as the box is out our diagnosis is proved correct. This time its pulled the time cert out of the case. So if found a mechanic with a lathe and drilled a hole through the centre of the pivot ball, made up a top hat bush to go in from the diff side, drilled out the time cert hole and bolted the thing back together. Becko and I are sick of groveling under the car and eating fast food by this time. Attached image(s) ![]() |
