So... we are done playing fabrication on the new race-buggy for a couple of weeks.

Noosa hillclimb is next weekend so I'll prep the old-car & all our gear for that.

Pack it all up Thursday & head-up to Noosa friday morning.

Sort pit-bay set-up, paper-work & Book-in stuff... get scrutineering over & done with,,, I may even have a practise run friday arvo (but probly not, I would like to save tyres & fuel for the next 3x meetings)

Im booked in for a Hip Replacement 2x days after the Leyburn sprints.
Yee haa.

Anyways... if I can save fuel & tyres by only doing a few laps each day, at each of the next 3x meetings ill be a happy camper.

We shall come back better & stronger faster & lighter & way more-fit after all the physio & Rehab & my own personal excersize program.

& attack the start of next year with the new buggy finished. (hopefully... thats the plan anyways)

We will keep the old buggy going but at some stage we will swap the turbo motor into my black sports sedan mini (for circuit racing),,,

& fit a 2003 R1 motor into the old buggy, so we will have 3x race cars running by the end of next year.

Hope to have our old kombi gearbox sorted some time in the new year too.
Its been off the road for ages & its an excellent tow-car/camper for race-meetings so we really want it back going again.

So... with the next couple of months hard yakka I should be able to take the time off for my hip-surgery & leave the boys at work & Marly to run the workshop & spare-parts dept so I can get my right hip fixed.
Yay!!!
Can't wait.
Cheers & have a lovely weekend people.

Ill sort some videos from Noosa Hillclimb on my next post.
Thanks for watching/reading.
Stay-tuned

Friday nite at Readspeed is work on Race-Buggy night.

Brad Sinclair & I are "mocking-up" wings (front & rear)

Fully professional Areo-Engineers we are.
πŸ₯°πŸ˜πŸ₯°πŸ˜πŸ₯°πŸ˜πŸ₯°

Making brackets is a pain in the arse but measure 12x times & cut 3x times & then measure again another few times & dummy-up that bit, cut some more, drill a hole or 2, bend a bit then throw that bit away & make a new bracket

😍πŸ₯°πŸ˜πŸ₯°πŸ˜πŸ₯°πŸ˜Just kidding, we actually nailed that back wing first go.

The front wing brackets are being a bit more of a pain in the arse but we are nearly there.

Just showing that Brad does most of the work around here.

I just delegate
😍πŸ₯°πŸ˜πŸ₯°πŸ˜πŸ₯°

Anyways, more forward motion but just playing around trying wing positions & heights.

"BECAUSE"->>> Wings make it look more like a race-car.

Remember that "Racecar" spelt backwards still spells "Racecar"
Stay tuned
