Our good friend Peter turned 50 this month. To celebrate he got family and friends together for a fun afternoon racing each other autocross style around a track he carved out on his farm. The "boys" competed best they could in some pretty beat up cars... escorts 1100 and 1300 and a datsun 120y and an old honda accord. Plenty of drifts (dirt style) , spins, a bit of drum hitting but luckily not much contact.
There were however plenty of mechanical issues: overheating(lots), exhausts coming off, bent steering arm (after hitting a tree stump) flat tyres, and the honda oil hose caught on fire! It was all in the name of fun. I even did a few laps and managed to miss the drums on the sweeper by the end of my turn. lol.
So happy birthday Pete, thanks for all the work you put into building the track and getting these cars going enough to complete a fun day.
Brenda.
