Just got back from a WASA Meet at New Norcia,170kms NE of Perth West Aus.
Had the Drak going great until had to retire while leading in first race due to NO efn spark!Might have something to do with the hard landings after overshootin' the tabletop?
Now have to try and work out why?
Track and weather were great,winter here now,was chilly willy in the morn leaving 0C,but sunny by the time we got there 10;30am.Got stuck behind 2 hooge overwidth monster mining truck trays being delivered up north.Damn things took up both lanes,lost ???time and patience.Nothin' worse for a racer, than tryin' to get there early and doin' walkin' pace in a 110km zone (65mph) Grrrrr!!!!!
Duaghter Kelly only did these 2 vids and I did'nt yet use the HellCam! @#$%^
The tabletop was TOO easy to clear and TOO short to have a back ramp to land on.I overshot it more than once and landed on the flat track bottoming out hard...OUCH.Now also have sore bottom!
Wish you blokes could ALL come Downunder and race with me here.
If I win Looto I will ship some of you down here!
These 2 are just praticing laps.
Get ya corfee ready Rich.

Hi Baz,

I have to say i am very tempted, i would love to come over and play on some of the tracks over there. I might ask around the club and see if we can organize a trip west. They are always talking about going to Mt Gambier to play in the sand dunes there, maybe we could just keep going west.

There is a guy in the club over here building a Tiger, i think he is using an R1 Engine so it's not really a proper Drak lol. The tiger looks huge next to the formula cross.

3 maybe 4 draks on the track now that would be good to see, our own class?

Cheers
Dave
