Queensland Challenge

**thechuckster** · 28-07-2007, 07:34 PM

for those who didn't make it:
-over 40 cars raced
-3 x Celicas - rally-prepared GT4 (TerryO's work?), a mint ST205 (now in need of a new turbo) and Nev's 18RG-powered RA23
-Fook was also there with his 4age-powered corolla.

Nev managed to remove a 6x3" post out of the ground with his drivers door - despite the damage he finished the day, including an entertaining 2 final laps around the autokhana track.

Pics to come Sunday, am heading off for dinner and quiet.

This is what the car looked like after taking out said post. Not sure if it will be repairable as it has hit real hard. Was doing round 90kmh sideways on impact. Thank god for cages and decent seats.

you have to right click on the link and select "Copy Link Location" (firefox) or "Copy Shortcut" (IE) and then paste that into the address bar

sorry folks, will make a page and see if it links correctly - their site links to stuff a simple promo on every page it serves and it can't do that with images.
