So, how was it? Did Redwarf finish? How did Redatto go?

An extract from some emails I have been sending to answer this very question:

 

"The rally ended up going really late and I competed 4 of my 6 stages in the dark. Most of the field would have done only 2 to 3 of the 6 but I was sooo far down the back of the field, I needed my spotties early in the piece! I expected to be scared of hurtling through the forest in the pitch black darkness but it was SO much fun. I also expected to be scared silly of driving blind on a road book (no pace notes) but actually found that to be more enjoyable too. I had a few scary moments being out of control but managed to recover from them okay. The car was absolutely bullet proof and I rev'd the engine at 6 grand for most of the event and it seemed to love it."

 

As for my times, I didn't do so fantastically - about 11th out of 15 classic cars, but am super stoked not to have come last overall. I was very VERY happy to have a solid performance over the event.

 

As for Mr Redwarf, he had a less successful event in that he broke an axle again on the 3rd stage. Told you that Cooloola was a bad event for Redwarf Motorsport! Nothing he could have done about it. :-( But he was putting in an absolute BLINDER up until then - coming 2nd outright clubman on a couple of the stages - a true giant killing performance.

 

Rob has a virus on his computer unfortunately, so I'm not sure when he'll be back on board to give a more thorough and accurate version of the event from the dwarf perspective...

Datgirl is da bomb :) I think Mr Redwarf is very correct in saying that we'll all be very afraid of Datgirl and Redatto by the end of the year :o 1st real event (the other one isn't counted, Redatto broke :fuzz: ) and already 2/3 up the leaderboard :devil: (or is that 1/3? which way is it counted anyway?)
