GSKTR4 Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Anyone planning to go along tomorrow (oops, today - Saturday) - I hope to be at Slaidburn and Holmfirth - look out for the red TR4 and come and say hello! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stephen cooper Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 I'm debating maybe going the secret bunker on Sunday morning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GSKTR4 Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 Ended up freezing my wotsits off at the Scammonden Dam Test - a very steep and greasy hillclimb - cars were very late coming through and the motor club that organises hillclimbs there didn't understand historic rallying or the relatively low speeds so applied major safety measures - I had 2 extinguishers on a corner most took at no more than 30 mph ... still I did see a couple of the TR3a's and 3VC go through - Tony and Rob must have been about 20th on the road I think and the car's running faultlessly (so far)! cheers, Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
david ferry Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Just got in from Gaydon. Quite a few well bent cars. One with a complete drivers door left somewhere along today's route! 3VC, with Tony & Rob, looking good. Just waiting for the final results. Must make note to keep diary clear and enter next year.

GSKTR4 Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 FINAL RESULTS A whitewash for the Irish and Dutch crews, taking all the top 5 places ... got to get back into this next year! Good result for Tony and Rob, finally clawing their way up to 16th (and thankfully not quite beating Ade and my 14th place last year!) ... we know how much hard work went into getting that result, well done guys .... can't wait for a full report Tony, when you've recovered cheers, Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lesmcguffog Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Sorry Tony, we had to give you a bollard penalty on the farm test before slaidburn on Saturday. Well done good result, having watched the standard 10 of the Sandilands through a test it's not suprising that it was nearly the best Standard Triumph entry beaten by the Redwoods 3A. at least there is a couple of months rebuild time before the start of the new season.

Ade-TR4 Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Well Done Tony, Rob and 3VC! Good to see you (and the car) at Scammonden dam hill climb. Am I right in thinking it was cancelled though? Andy and I were VERY jealous btw (it's really cold spectating/ marshalling!) cheers Adey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tr4Tony Posted November 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Hi Les All penalties taken in the spirit intended - I never look back anyway as it takes me all my time to keep a car in the right direction. I think I picked up 2 bollards and a keep on the grass at the RAF museum on Friday. We had a pig of a day in the rain. Saturday and Sunday were great - apparently we were 4th o/a on the Sunday results, but id like to see the lot - if we hadnt balls up the route revision and collected 5 mins for missing 2 controls we have done very well. Enjoyed the hillclimb lots - pulled 2nd od at the top just before launching over the finish line - I trust you heard me Andy! (thanks for marshalling!) enjoyed the Curborough sprint circuit more and took 2 secs out of the nearest TR so 3VC is officially quick, nimble and v tailhappy when provoked - thanks to Paul Hogan for the warning on the slippy bits - another reason why i could push hard through the middle (admittedly sideways .......... as i gathered it back together on the way out of the hairpin .....) Brilliant rally and hats of to Neil Revington and folks at RTR for the best ride you can have with your trousers on ! Regards Tony Quote Link to post Share on other sites
