I wish Jim would stop talking so much. Member since June 09 and he has made 2 posts. Finke is not far away now fellas. I think it is going to be a good year. Hunter look out.

You can see how much higher the rear guard is cut out now compared to when I did it the first time.

Looking good, job well done. Was just thinking about your dash. are you going to paint the top black at all?
Was thinking that you will be racing out in the sunlight most of the time and the glare off the alloy mite make it hard to see were you are going. just a thourt I had.

I was thinking the same thing. No doubt it will get a covering of some sort of colour.

I'm undecided about the colour. The dash could probably handle some paint as well.

Anyone else following Hyden?
Rob Chapman just prologued a third of a second faster than Hunter.
Young Chapman is fastest in Class 7 and also beat all the other class 8s except those two.

Rob Chapman has won Class 8 in front of Colin Hunter and Russel Cullen (who should finish shortly).
Clayton has taken out Class 7, a full hour in front of second place.

Shoulda been there boys. Shoulda been there.

To true. Did Rob have a pearler of a race or was colin off the pace for some reason?

I don't know yet but it looks like they were both going pretty hard.
It was a close finish with just under 6 minutes separating them after 5 hours racing.
Rob was 24th outright with Colin 27th and Clayton 31st.

Fair few retirements too.
71 posted times out of 85 starters, so there were 4 that didn't even start, and I count 45 that completed the whole course.

Maybe next year...

Mid board hubs and new front lower a-arm, engine plate, dry sump, programmable ecu, bigger IC and it will be your name in that #1 spot at Hyden
