Warialda Race Report
Sunday, 30th Sept 2011
Warialda strikes a blow for Wideopen.
Racing at Warialda started great with Shaun was behind the wheel for day 1 and got and Section 1 & 2 of the short course out of the way unscathed, Sunday was looking good with the car handling "like a cut cat".
An early start (not too good after the night at the pub) and then drivers briefing at 8am, Section 3 with Marty behind the wheel started at 8.30 am for the short course where the car had a slight issue with the coil on plug No1, replaced that with a new one and it was on to the long course to complete Section 4.
Section 4 was complete, just, with Marty getting a flat tyre JUST before he finished!
When asked how the car handled the long course "Shit Hot" "anymore power, and it'd be too much"
(I guess that coil problem solved the flat spot)
With a position of 13th outright and 1st in our class TWO members form Wideopen that would be going out!!!!!
Marty in Hilux 481 and Trimmy in a Robinson R22 helicopter! (Spectacular photos!)
It would be in Section 5 that seen Wideopen's epic weekend at Warialda come to an end.
A blown gear box stopped them racing any further and the 13th outright, 1st in our class and the famous Warialda
DASH FOR CASH sights slipped away…
A great weekend at Warialda, a great turn out from the crew and thankyou Warialda for the cold beers at the pub.
See you next year in March!
