Truss Me National Capital Rally
It's here again the final round of the ACT regional Rally series. The "Truss Me" National Capital Rally is being run in the forests to the West of Canberra.
A smaller than normal field of only 35 cars will start the event on Saturday morning, with quality over quantity being the main attraction.
I will be codriving for Tristan Kent in his Subaru RX turbo, this being Tristan's 4th ever event, he's quite stoked to be seeded car 17, a big improvement over the last seeding of 32. We have built a new engine since the Caltex event and Tristan is happy with the newfound performance.
It's forecast for mid 20's the temp for Saturday so will be warm in the car. No night stages as well will be good.
Will post some photos and an event report on Sunday.
I have attached the start list.
Also if you are able to come to Canberra for the day we are still short 8 officials.
Cheers

Broken timing belt about 13km into the first stage. Will know in the morning if it's ok for next weekend.
The big news is about a certain regular codriver of mine who rolled his company ute on the way out of stage 6 tonight after doing a control. Lucky Gerald was there to put the ute on his trailer.
Steve Forsberg won the rally from the Barrets, with the Porsche of Jeff David in 3rd. Southy lunched an engine, Van Eck had an off damaging all panels and had all 4 wheels pointing in different directions.
Scott Kuhner inverted the EVO 5, only way out was upside down throuhg a barbed wire fence.
PJ I think was in 5th or 6th outright in the ute of doom.
Just got back from the club after a few too many beers.

There are a couple of younger drivers now getting a chance in the top cars after a few years of none due to costs and only being 3 WRC Teams. Hopefully Sesks and Pajari can show real potential and...
