Well the NDRC Sydney Nationals are run and done . Weather was sketchy friday with a lot of rain and strong head wind . only had 1 qualifying pass . Saturday opened cloudy but dry . 1 more qualifyer @ 8.45 to end @ #4 of 23. Then 3 quick rounds before a 5 1/2 r wait around before final 2 rnds in a half hour .
Plymouth was running on song, track and air were great . Shift light gave up before semi so that was back to watching tacho . Unfortunately i fluffed the final , so silver not gold tree .
Note, here in Australia we run a .400 tree . The class I run is Super Street dyo no box 10.00-12.99 et on 1/4 . I run footbrake though you can use transbrake .
Hope some got to see some of the racing streaming on NDRC fb page .
Not bad running for a regular street car on pump 98 through mufflers .

thanks guys .
Its always fun running a odder choice of car , especially here in Oz .
I have been doing a bit of travelling this season as a one off year maybe . As some know we dont have a lot of tracks so its always a hike to run away from home . We also have a new national series and style of series this season . With a 2 conference , east/west , system and a stand alone invitational grand final .
