Ray's back into the drivers seat
AS the title suggests I'm hoping to compete as a driver the 2nd round of the Australian Rally Championship held in my home town of Canberra.
Have just had the shocks rebuilt for the Charade, now to fit all the FIA spec roll cage padding, new harnesses and a new clutch and we will be ready to go.
Will be interesting to see how I go as it's been a few years.
Might have to do a rallysprint as a arm up though me thinks

Good luck Ray. Do you know if that little Toyota you've been co-driving in runs a 4E-FE?
Never do anything you wouldn't want to explain to a paramedic.

More good news is that Revolution Racegear Canberra have come on board and are helping me with all preparations for the National Capital Rally.

It would appear the 2wd drive champion still gains the overall ARC title.

Pedder is one of the few 4wd entries.

Good to hear Ray. Don't go too fast too soon
If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off!

The ARC field will all be seeded together this year, Classics, 2wd and 4wd.
If I can get the dollars for a 6 spd sequential will mean a lot for our reliability and some more speed. Have to keep the power down to stop going through gearboxes although we can change a box in a 15 min service
Looks like we have some more sponsors coming on board, will post here when we have it all confirmed.
Getting excited now.

What gear set up does the Charade have? Or is that Daihatsu's IP? What are the options - a Subaru gearbox set up as a transaxle with a 5 speed (e.g http://www.subarugears.com/ ), some of the lightweight English made sequential transaxles (e.g Hewland JFR ) . Albins, porsche cayman etc?

Mighty (that must be 2 for 2 - going to try for a hat-trick?)
What's the first thing to come to...
