Like we were discussing last night, you still have a shot at the class d podium in the dry and are a good shout for the win in the wet. And there are still improvements to be made to the car, the season is still very much on!! ;)

The night before every event, plan a barbecue!

Or get Vanzep to work on his car! (whenever he goes near it with tools it rains).

What the reshuffle has done is drop my team in to 2nd place in the team competition and dropped me a little in the King of the Hill standings.

I have just had a thought though Merlin...

Do they know about the chicken? :? What implications might arise from that?









In all seriousness though, you still have a great result and a great attitude about the whole situation. I would not have been able to hold my tongue as well as you seem to have.

Fair enough. I think you have a good case made that next year they go with one dyno that way this situation will not arise again. What happens if you make improvements and someone from another higher class gets all pissy about it again?

Well done for playing it the way you did though, its all good in the end :clap:

:lol: :lol: I have an brake master cylinder, clutch master cylinder and new radiator to fit so that should be enough to ensure rain for the rest of the SLS season.
I will bring it all with me for the next round ;)

Im not going to say anything online about the dyno result and what you have had to put up with at every single round of SLS but you have kept it all together remarkably well. ;)
