Targa Tasmania 2012

[260DET]

No interest in a non 'me me me' topic?  Last time I looked Jon Siddens was leading Early Classic and coming second in Classic outright, but hey, this is just only the biggest motorsport event of the year where the S30 gets a chance to shine.

You go zed boys, it's a pitty this event doesn't get the recognition it deserves and publicity . Most people would not even know it was on.

Howdy Guy's, I've been off line for a week, but a very good effort from Siddens in the Zed...my man tells me if you combined the classic and modern times Siddens would of been 8th OUTRIGHT and the Porker 7th...look down that list and see what is below him!!

Hey MJC, good to see the project is still going strong.  I hope you guys are getting plenty of donations.

[MJC]

Hey Scott

 

Thanks mate, all is well there, Castrol donated 5k the other day not to mention the great amount of fluids they supply us!!

 

We were stoked with 4th outright in the classics, surprised alot of people including ourselves. Had alot of front brake dramas the first few days and rotated 3 times in the morning of the third day as I had no front brakes, think I broke my thumb on the Cethana stage as well - rookie error!!!

Snapped my sway bar mounts at the end of day 3 also and did the rest with out a rear sway bar. Without the errors I would have been close to third but not enough to prob have got third. Back to the drawing board now, dropping weight and some wheel weighting our priority.

Good work mate, that's great.  $5k?!!!  Good stuff!
