Default FIrst event done!

Proof of concept complete at Black River Stages last weekend...

1st in class
1st overall 2wd
2nd overall
2wd power stage win
3? new 2wd stage records

haters gonna hate but maybe not such a bad idea after all! Thanks for all the interest. We will be sorting some suspension issues and back to battle at LSPR National event in late October. Lots of Very quick guys there so will be interesting to see what we can do. Vids up on River City Rally face book page, more to come in next few days in sure.


That's actually a braking roost if you watch video. Coming in hot!

Fantastic. Enjoy living "Sideways"
Its been 30 years from when I stopped (Datsun 510, Mk 1 Escort)
Went out as a spectator off and on for a while, ran a service crew for 2 diff cars but its not the same as competing.

Keep it up.

Default Lspr






Just got back from LSPR. Team managed to win the regional overall day one. Got caught out two stages from end of day two while again leading regional, beached the car off the road and took a DNF. After two hours of rallying we were in second place nationally trailing Ryan Millen in the Toyota backed RAV4. Car showed smszing pace for second event. We will be back!
