ace gymkhana season update (with pictures!)

[Doris]

So the leader board got posted up a few days ago. As you can see, im sitting in second overall. Barchy

Is in Fiji so he won\'t be scoring any more points, giving me a slim chance of first overall, which would be absolutely phenomenal! The final round is this Sunday at Hampton downs. Here\'s hoping it\'s a wet day, which would give me a significant advantage over the high powered cars.

Bearing in mind, the ace is completely stock under the bonnet, around 20kw atw with a cracked head..

The only modifications are:

Sticky Yokohama A563 tyres 175/50/13

13x5.5 +40 Alizona racing alloys 5.2kg each

15mm spacer adaptors

Rear strut brace

8kg springs, unknown brand and non-captive

Carpet and rear seats removed

Fixed back drivers bucket, jamex

Front air dam. This one is for fuel efficiency more than anything else.

20 kw eh?

Nice work.

[Doris]

Well it had 30kw when it was new, 23 years ago

Great work Doris!

How I wish we had a motorkhana each month down here. Heaps of fun

[thorpy]

Move to CHCH Al , one each month all year.

Oh and top work Doris , just goes to prove power is no advantage.

Damn wish I had checked your post earlier scott. I\'ll post up a link to the event page when the season starts up again, sometime next year..autumn probably.

Yep its less about the lump under the bonnet, more about the nut behind the wheel in motorsport

well didn\'t manage to snatch first overall, no surprises there, but did go home with the title of fastest front wheel drive for the season

And it rained during the \'freeplay\' session after all the timed runs had taken place, so i headed out on my steelies (already swapped over for the drive home) and practiced some counter-steer, at full op-lock ;D video\'d it on go pro if anyone is interested

Video to come over the weekend, going to splice the in car footage with the external view, and chop out a few of the mistakes
