Caltex Airport Starmart Rally 2008
Hi all,
We have just had the 2008 Caltex Airport Starmart Rally here in Canberra. The 2nd last round of the PCD Engineering ACT Regional Rally Series. Quite a strong field with a few State level competitors coming down to compete against us Canberrans.
Tristan and I started car 32 for only his 3rd ever rally, we were a bit disappointed with the start position, but what can you do when you don't actually have a State seeding. Stage 1 we were 25th, then up to 17th and finally we finished 10th outright and 1st in class, only 4 secs off 9th.
The long 44.5km stage was fantastic, included the jump and tunnel from Rally of Canberra. The only issues we had was a broken piston on stage 3, so we had a 3 Cylinder car for the rest of the event, only went through about 5lt of oil
Engine to be rebuilt for the Natcap rally in October.
Not a bad effort for a 17 year old who has had his licence for 5 weeks and has already done 3 rallies, with 1st in class in two of them.
I have uploaded some incar footage.
It's on http://www.bakermotorsport.net

Sounds like you had alot of fun Ray. I guess Tristan is maturing a little????
How much air did Tristan get over the bridge?Happiness is using the side windows more than the windscreen
In reply to being asked what 240Kph on Watagans Road was like:-
\"Wait till I check my pants, I didn\'t know whether to sh#t myself or orgasm!!!\"
I don't see Verstappen joining Mercedes unless Newey goes there which has also a very low probability.
