Suncoast Under Way - Go The Datto

[Targa Tom]

Well Suncoast is off and running and it appears to be the usual suspects for the prologue hill climbe....

Gotta love former Targa winners and crowd favs - 6th quickest in 1970 Datto 240Z.

My old sparring partner from Targa and former Australian Hill Climbe Champ Matt Close was fast on his first run, but dropped time on his second.

First day of competition today... yesterdays top (some)-

[260DET]

Siddins blew the 240Z's motor during ther rally. Apparently he was running a very low ratio diff which meant max RPM in 5th for extended periods. Camshaft broke into several pieces, severe collateral damage was anticipated
