Greetings Oh Great Onbes!!
Houdini McDonald here...only person anyone knows that car spin a Torana off the top of a mountain at about 130kph....backwards down what could only be descrided at a cliff...45 degree angle...miss every tree..bush whatever...and not put a scatch on the car.
2nd run Sunday...Came through the turn 7 right hander...stepped out to the left....though I had it straight and stood on it too hard...snapped HARD right and went backwards over the cliff....got it all on video...need someone to show me how to compress to get it on there.
We had the 600HP Skyline and RX7 to contend with...Brad Stratton was in a LJ sport sedan with HUGE rear wing the whole shooting match and we were going head to head for 3rd.....He had me on the 5th run with a 65.2 to my 65.39...so I was going for it on the miss hap this morning...at the 1/3 split I was .75 secs up on all my previous runs so wasnt hanging around...pity I stuffed up...gotta admit..it was driver error...just jumped on it to early when I thought it was straight trying to keep the momentum up.
Pulled it out of the valley...towies made me drive it back down...presentation was on...Had a standing ovation..cheering the whole shooting match..No one could believe it had NO damage ....I had to remove the intact front spoiler to get it up the gully with the tow truck rope.
Rocket has the whole lot on video...I have the in car of it also ..plus all the other runs..
Great weekend..few dramas but will sort them out...The frigging thing is a JET...and needs 16" rear slicks...
I still ended up 4th in the class!!

Not happy racing in a forward direction.....The "old dog" has taken to reverse motorsports!!!!!
Seriosly though....glad you are both ok. And don't be too hard on yourself in the cold light of day, we do these things in an instant and pay for them with the next heartbeat. I'm sure if you did the same thging next time the result would be different again.
Having said that...................
Video...Video....Video.....Video( they chanted)
cheers Greg..

Hey rory, congratulations on the 4th in class! And very very lucky with that escape! The looked, sounded and went so quick all day saturday, i was very impressed. Was great to meet you too rory and hang out in the pits with you and greg and your families. I was really looking forward to sunday with more of the same and some better shots from up further. But snapped a clutch cable on saturday night which ruined that. Got plenty of pics but, bout 250 in one day, i need a bigger memory card i think. I'll post them up tonight.

Whats the thing the official was sticking under the rear wheel at the start, I am guessing it has something to do with timing ???
