05.05.2022 I'm still an encyclopedia of excuses for poor pace on the weekend, but here's the slip sliding around video edit of race 1: https://youtu.be/ce9wlc7zcOE
02.04.2022 In Round 1 we discovered that my car really doesn't like wet weather (even though in the past I've really enjoyed racing in the rain).... Round 2 simply reconfirmed that a live axle RX7 turbo with big torques, old tyres, on a sodden track (also coated in a surreal worm plague) isn't the best. Here's qualifying high(low?)lights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNjPMM0IjKg
23.01.2022 UPDATE... Looks like I've found some! Will confirm once collected and tested. Seeking.... Series 3 RX7 26 Spline Axles (that are nice and straight unlike those in my racecar). The good part of this search is that it's because we've found my persistent issue.... But now I'm in need.... Help!...

19.01.2022 A few niggly issues in race 2 meant a DNF but fingers crossed the fixes work and while starting last in the final race it should be fun trying to work my way forward.
18.01.2022 Few challenges with mechanical niggles but still great to see Blend Line coverage of our Wakefield round last month.

18.01.2022 Gearbox rebuild, done. Engine rebuild, done. Running in, done. List remaining.... Upgrade fuel system, dyno tuning, body repair, stickers, bleed brakes, finish races.
18.01.2022 Totally nailed the start.... Then had to pick my battles. But was great to be racing even if this did end up my only completely reliable race of the weekend (though the other two had pretty good starts so I'll upload the opening laps of them too).

17.01.2022 Testing tomorrow morning... Let's see what needs tweaking before season starts late Feb. Mazsport Racing Turbosmart It's The Little Things - Wentworth Falls ... Midas Speedy 3000ft Gordon Leven Motorsport Tyres See more
17.01.2022 Testing update... Trying to find the source of the stubborn vibration (that feels like the cause of last years gearbox failures) has now moved further rearward (after already rebuilding gearbox, new tail-shaft, replacing flywheel, pressure plate, checking clutch)..... Testing did serve it's purpose and with vibration still evident, definitely speed dependent and checked even more pronounced at speed in neutral, it's now time to focus on axle, driveshafts, diff and see if something bent (in which case I'll have to work out which bit of previous wheel banging to blame). Disappointed not to have solved the problem already but feel closer to solution and glad got to test with a month to spare before season starts.
17.01.2022 Update: Qualified P6, became 5th after a withdrawal. Finished first race 3rd after some proper race fun. Two races to come. This is more like it. Thanks: Mazsport Racing... Turbosmart Midas See more
17.01.2022 Making pretty while the engine and gearbox are out.
16.01.2022 The good bits...
16.01.2022 Found some replacement axles thanks to Aarron Hamblin and Garage48 and they are now getting new bearings and fitted up, along with several other checks and alignments, at Mazsport Racing ..... Barring any other surprises I should be ready for Round 1 of the IPRA NSW - Improved Production Racing Association NSW at Wakefield Park for the New South Wales Motor Racing Championships Turbosmart... www.itsthelittlethings.shop Midas CUBE Speed Equipment 3000ft Speedy CTEK Battery Chargers See more

10.01.2022 Thanks BLEND LINE TV for posting my weekend highlight launch!
09.01.2022 Countdown to Round 1 has begun...
09.01.2022 Thanks to Mazsport Racing craftsmanship, care and attention to detail my tired old motor and messy engine bay is now a refreshed thing of beauty.... Now to get run in, then back for a Bill Nabhan tune before racing resumes.
06.01.2022 Passing five people by the exit of turn one, including splitting my two best buddies (blue M3 and pale blue Walkinshaw Commodore), was great ..... Unfortunately I'd mis-diagnosed my race 2 issue so didn't go on with the race but these few seconds certainly put a smile on my dial.
05.01.2022 Overpost alert, but I'm excited about the #RaceChrono function I just discovered... Here's screen video of a lap replayed. Pretty impressive for a $24 app.
04.01.2022 We're celebrating 30 years of racing at Eastern Creek's Sydney Motorsport Park with some after dark action this weekend. 2020 has been a trying year for me in the IPRA NSW - Improved Production Racing Association NSW championship and I'll be on very used rubber (to save budget for tyres in 2021) for the final round. But as the expression goes "A bad day at the race track is better than a good day at work" and I've enjoyed every day at the track regardless of unexpected issue...s. Big thanks to these guys (linked and those without links) for getting me back on track every time, keeping me smiling, slinging me generous deals and lots of great advice.

04.01.2022 Weekend fun will be streamed online after the event by both my own incar footage, and the excellent team at Blendline.
