Re: Diesel vs Sparks
Looks like it will most likely be 20 September. I am waiting for WOMZA to finalize the date.

Re: Diesel vs Sparks
How do you make the Patrol GQ handbrake take on the rear wheels only when competing in Rallysprint?

Re: Diesel vs Sparks
AFAIK the handbrake on the GQ is on the prop. So, no funny handbrake turns there if in 4H.

Re: Diesel vs Sparks
If it's on the 20th I am in.
The Diesel's should not need to worry about any form of braking......
The insurance implications on this one are going to be interesting....
Now I just need to see if I can get that supercharger fitted by then....

Re: Diesel vs Sparks
No need for a supercharger on the 4.5, the diesel boys will be all worn out by the time they get there, having to peddle up all the hills to get there! LOL

Re: Diesel vs Sparks
They are busy looking for ways to make their petrol beasts perform on the day......
Maybe the diesel boys .... Andre I'm sure you can help here.......should bring a bowser with a 1000L of petrol so they can still get home afterwards......
