Fintray Hillclimb

A few photos of this weekend courtesy of the wife.

Mostly raining so not the best conditions for my first time out but learnt a lot about the car and had a lot of fun which is the main thing!

Wee bit of understeer...

And a couple of my favourites of my car...

And my favourite. Sideways you say?

Cheers,
Dave

Looks like a right laugh, had any scary moments?

 

[DynamoDave]

Aye, last photo is evidence of my last run which got a bit lairy!

Got a bit carried away with myself as it felt like a quick one and TOTALLY messed up the last corner!

Would've secured 3rd place if I hadn't done that as well!

Didn't see that, thought it was a bush.

Where did you come in your class?

 

[DynamoDave]

Managed 4th in the end (just).

A wee bit off the pace of the main boys but was really chuffed with how me and the car went for it being the first time out and REALLY slippy!

Give me a few more outings and hopefully I'll reel them in a little bit!

That's pretty good, if you can get a cheap track cam i'd love to hear and see that thing at full blast.

I'll have a go at this once i'm out of the poor house, the best i'll hope for though is not coming last.

 

[DynamoDave]

I said before I went that I'd be chuffed with anything other than last and if I got under 35 seconds I'd be delighted! Fastest time was 34.92 in the wet so really chuffed!

Hopefully get a track camera at some point!

Cool! Good to see it getting used properly!

Class win gogsie? Well done mate!

 

[DynamoDave]

The wife pretty much only took photos of my class as she was in the paddock when I wasn't running.

Small world though...I'll keep an eye out for you next time mate.

How slippy was the hairpin?!

Sunday was murder for me...Couldn't find any grip at all!

Had to bump start for every run on Sunday as well as my battery gave up.

Good banter though.

Dave where you at the pistonheads rollin road day in march I think it was? I had my Clio on?

 

[DynamoDave]

Aye that was me.

 

[Craig.H]

Thought i recognised the car!

well done on the times, are you doing anymore events?

 

[DynamoDave]

Cheers mate, I had lowered my target to 33seconds for the Sunday until the weather went even more pear shaped so next time out I think that's what I'll be aiming for!

Entered into Alford in July and Fintray again in August.

Have thought about doing Boyndie as well but reckon I'll just stick to Fintray and Alford this year. It's a lot of hassle with the little one and we've got loads of weddings this summer so don't want to be busy EVERY weekend!

Next year I might do a few more events though.

Cheers,

Dave

Class win gogsie? Well done mate!

Aye managed a 1st on Sunday which was a surprise as it felt slow due to me sliding all over the place, Looks like the new box is finally working!.

 

[DynamoDave]

[gogsie]
