Was that yours in the top 10 at the IPRA nationals the other week?
Awesome effort for that to be there amongst that crowd

Hi Ozy yeah mate that was me up in Darwin, had a good run up there in the heats and made a good start in the final, I will put the video of the nationals final up once I finished editing it. I'll be taking the car down to Phillip Island in November too having a run at Island Magic hopefully. Looking forward to racing down there, loved Phillip island when I raced there years ago. Were you up in Darwin for the Nationals?

It's not to far away from coming out to play. The brakes are getting done now, I have got a local guy sorting it out now. Not much more to do, fuel lines, finish wiring, a few brackets here and there.

Hi Grant, Thanks for the Parts. Not allowing the old man to drive the car again. Hahahaha costs too much when he takes it for a spin, yes the motor was out after the roll over. I'm wanting more power after racing in Darwin. May have to look at doing a Roller Engine. That's what Mike suggested, will have to save up some cash for that one. Have you still got your car ? Looks cool in the photo.

yeah chris still got the car and having a ball and just enjoying things now after 1 year i sort of have half an idea so things are getting easier to prepare for a meeting.

 

.I'm doing  a roller with mike now and slowly moving forward. Yep it just costs a bit more everywhere in the valve train. But this stuff doesn't flinch mike it's just another day at the office.

 

I saw your car at the bathurst motor festival but didn't know either of you then.

 

 

Can i ask you how you get your in car video so clear, I have camera and i don't put it in the case and the noise is really bad ( like a banshee cat screeming ) i have to turn the volume off.

 

any tips would be appreciated

Hey Grant, I've got a GoPro black 3, it's set on 23 or 24 frames per second. It records in 1080 hd, I have it mounted in its normal case with a roll cage mount. Nothing special really I only use the noise from the go pro and just sync in the other footage to match. They can be a bit fiddley my computer doesn't have enough power, but I can record in 4k with it also. Just takes heaps of memory and computer power.
