Post by kobyn »

Final round in our clubs gravel sprint series yesterday,day started good setting my fastest time 1st run ,conditions were getting worse as day went on was my 1st wet gravel rally and was hard adjusting also I'd add a bit more softness to the rear leafs seemed to get better traction just adjusting to that sinking in feeling in the corner will take a bit ,unfortunately last run my strut snapped :( (modded welded ajdusties clean Brake at the weld)bright side was lucky not have major crash it broke on a tight left and I just spin out no panel damage .pic from our official series photography jeff wells ImageImageImageImageImage

Hard luck Kobyn. Great that you weren't injured.
No doubt you'll fix it and get straight back into it, like falling off a bike, eh, cheers, Chris and Bernie.

Good event for it to happen on, fastest run counts, not like a rally stage, where one bad one ruins the day. Also great you weren't going fast, so no panel damage, bonus.
Well done, how did you go for the season?

I get so jealous every time you put up those gravel action shots! Gotta get my car back together!
910 struts have the bigger diameter spigot onto the steering arm than earlier dattos
