Ford vs Ferrari Round #10 - Hawkes Bay, New Zealand

[arroldn]

Thanks for the shake down. Yes sir thanks for fixing my flat tire.

Hello gents...with time at a premium due to my part time day job being rather more full time I have been running the cars in the early evening these last few nights. Each car has had its tires cleaned and six minutes on the Anaconda. So far twenty cars have been run, making five to go before I can reveal the finishing places. All I can say at this stage is that it is tight at the top.
More in a day or two.

Thanks

[Audi1]

Very well done to the top 3 (redlynr, chrisguyw and smokeio) and to Dennis (gascarnut) with 2 cars in the top 10, said the 4th place car....................! It was definitely close racing for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th spots. Nice job to Steve (redlynr) with a 2 lap win after 2 deslots...................!

Thanks for the run and for posting the results and pics, John. Good to see some proxy racing action on the Anaconda again!

Allan

[munter]

Thanks Allan. The cars were great fun. The Anaconda demands a well balanced machine if a good result is expected.
The deslots reflect the fact that I am pushing the cars...it aint a cruise.

I assume the cars are travelling to Dave West next?

[Audi1]

Yup, off to Dave for the next Round.

Allan

[steeveew]

Congrats to the super fast podium cars.

Nice one Munter!
Congrads to the podium place-getters. Happy with 7th and no deslots! We'll see how the P68 goes on it's home track! Looking forward to giving all the cars a run on Orakei Raceway.

[Brumos RSR]

Are you guys okay? My friend in Cambridge got quite a shock, and that's North Island! We are getting reports of a 7.8 Richter with a huge Tsunami 2 hours later.

[munter]

Yep, we are OK here, North Island too.
No Tsunami but warnings were issued and people moved to high ground in the middle of the night.
Two deaths and lots of damage to roads and rail and dwellings.

Thanks for asking.
Regards
John

Just reporting that the cars went into the mail today.
They are heading north to Dave West and Mike Doo in Auckland.
