Ok so Racin Jason and Guru went to Ryde to have some fun.
On our travels we met up with new team members Nova Sunnyvale & Shannon Tatnel ,we also had the company of Tax Man Tim which is always a nice way to spend the evening racing.
THE RACING2wd stock was up first and this meant that Racin,Nova&Guru would all be in the same heat thus giving us a slight edge
??.
The race begun and the surprise package was Guru who was chasing 1st place hard and was not making any mistakes,Racin Jason had a boggle and was now starting to make some ground on the lead pack.
Nova Sunnyvale was holding a nice steady pace weaving her way through the cannon fodder like a pro.....for those who do not no Nova she is a breath of fresh air and the only word that does justice is
SUNSHINEa warm friendly genuinely lovely person....however this is not the case on the drivers stand where she takes the weekly frustrations of being married to Shannon Tatnel out on the race track.
Any way back to the race and to every ones surprise Guru made a sweet move for the lead and begun to move away and then it all went wrong a ever so slight touch of the infield fence broke a ball end Guru was out.
Racin Jason finishing in the top 5 and Nova having a good run made up for some of Gurus grief who was now being consoled by Shannon in the pits.
THE TRUCKSNow the trucks were out to play and Racin Jason was up against mod motors with his stock 17.5 and this proved to be no handicap as Racin Jason set about making the local drivers look like _______well you fill in blanks .
Tax man Tim was awesome with his approach and his method of tire conservation was ingenious,no one has ever tried to race upside down and do it effectively but our man was on the money as it would prove later in the night but in the end a dominating performance from team captain Racin Jason.
4WD MODWe had to drivers in this class Shannon Tatnel driving the newly developed Lada prius concept car and Tax man Tim.
Now early in the race it was apparent that things were not going to plan the upside down method used previously by Tax man was not working and the Lada prius was being difficult and making some very strange noises and refusing to handle .This would be rectified later in the pits with a very large hammer and some choice words followed by some pannadole and band aids .
THE FINALSNow there were 3 rounds of finals but who cares the last ones were the best non more so than Gurus who after missing the Amain by only hundreds of second was on a mission and was joined in the final by Shannon Tatnel filling in for Nova Sunnyvale .
Guru drove a great race driving hard and jumping for his life fighting to stay on course ,Shannon was on fire as he slowly came to grips with the 2wd but a boggle would see him break a front arm much to the disgust to car owner Nova not so Sunnyvale.
in the end Guru was able to keep second place in the Bmain and was happy until later when he found out the race time was good enough for 5th in the Amain.
Racin Jason lined up in a field of what can only be described as professional woodsman as by the third corner he had been hacked 4 times but this would not faze the great man as he methodically plotted his way through the woodsman and was hacked along the way by all.
Eventually the time would win with Racin Jason taking a well earned 4th place that would have been a certain 1st at any clean race.
The man on a mission in the 4wd mod was Shannon Tatnel who after a tumultuous round of heats was now simply stunning in the Lada Prius making every apex look simple and while this may not have been reflected in track position it did not go unnoticed by the enthralled crowd as they showed there appreciation each and every time the Lada crossed the line.
Meanwhile in the land of Tax the story was not the same and was reflected by the sounds and words ouch,ooh,aah,watch out,holly@#%!and is that possible coming from the bewildered crowd ,this was not a great race for our Tax man .
Trucks ....1st Racin Jason 2nd Tax man Tim yahda yahda yahda blah blah blah .
