So. It's been a wild few weeks. After much prodding from a couple of people. And a lot of help from Cam and Brett. The is still going to the Winternationals. Albeit a few cubes short of its name sake. With the rings of the 347 passing more oil than the strait of Hormuz, the spare has been called into service so a rebuilt stock 5 litre/302w bottom end paired with my AFR top end and A fun little 236/244 cam. We are going completely untested with this combo so it's going to be a ride to see how it goes.

Still need to service the tow car, redo the floor covering in the trailer. Replace the tie down system in the trailer.

One week to go.

Unfortunately I have withdrawn the smoke show/mosquito fogging/diesel powered 347Mazda but I'll still be trackside to check out the action.

The family Fairlane survived Rockynats 06. Couple of little things to sort out before next year. It would be nice to get the factory AC working. The coolant temperature and fuel level have no idea what's going so that was fun and I have picked up a pretty full on front end squeak, so it might be time to throw the Whiteline catalogue at the front end. Finally, and I think you will all agree, It needs some adjustability to the ride height because it's clearly not low enough

Slowing things down in the family cruiser for Rockynats 06

It wasn't a great start to the weekend. Rocker stud came unscrewed and broke the tip off a rocker fortunately it didn't do any damage to the new heads. Thanks to Des Pimm for the lend of a replacement. Unfortunately all the effort to replace the top end of the motor seems to have failed to rectify the Mazda's smoking habit. I am kind of at a loss of where to take it from here I guess it's time for a new short block as well. I won't have that done before the Winter nationals unfortunately but I am still undecided if I want to take the Mazda as it is.

The car ran well enough that I made the finals, though in my eagerness I let the button go a little too early, but that's no reason not to send it. As you can see it was close at the stripe didn't matter because it was lost at the tree. (Ignore the win label on live1320)

Not all terrible news. The new tow rig set up goes well (sorry no photo of that one). A couple of set up tweaks and it will be awesome.

Keep it shiny side up and off the walls and I'll see you Trackside,
DB
