Whats the story there?

Who is this Turnbull snoozer and how can you have a gap of 3:00 at the front of EM against regular competitors in hitlers 'peoples car'?

Dad was speaking to him at THC, and he ran out of points. So he's got no drivers licence atm

Mainly the front end I think, pretty sure it was decked out with cup car parts for THC, but was invited to run the car as is.

Of course he was invited to run 'as is'...has a big wallet obviously. Also was spotted by numerous people conducting recce in the competition car...

Ohhhhh, he's THAT guy!

Well, if it's any consolation, I found his front splitter on a stage when doing the 00 car duties. I reckon they're worth a bob or three, and promptly gave it to Mikey Pritchard as a spare :D

LOL, i have a pice of the front lip from Matt Closes Porsche he "over steer of fail" at rally Tas/Burnie a few years back.

it has closeracing.com sticker on it. or what ever.

i need to dig that out and put in the shed.

^^^^ Gold. :) Either that or "straight to the pool room. "

It was mint condition, complete with clips (someone didn't fit it correctly I reckon), and I owe Dr Pritchard for helping me out at a rally in the middle of the night when I fell quite ill. Top fella :thumbsup:

Where's the "LIKE" button?

recce is done before the event starts, ususlly in the week leading upto the event. People recceing in compition cars in tassie has been a problem in the past, as locals complain to the authorities (the ones who give Targa the permit to close the roads)

Let alone after last year when a certain person who will go unnamed, crashed his Targa car on recce...

may have been ok had he not had all his competition stickers already on the car...

And Nick, I'm not going mate, but SURELY someone from here is?! What's Snowballs doing, is he scared of that R35 or something? :P

Hi from tropical Bali! :)

I'm hoping to make it! It's going to be touch and go on whether Jesus can bolt all the new parts onto my car in time. He's busting his ass turning Hendy's car into SMAUG spec in time for TWP so my car won't be looked at until after Australia day.

But if my car is running and Timmy can sort me a AASA passport I'm in for Mt Baw Baw with uncle Troy in the silly seat.

Bali was a family holiday mate. Was a nice one too.

Anyhoo - spoken to everyone concerned and unless the car blows up on the dyno then I'm in for Mt Baw Baw.

Spoke to Bernie today too who has done some notes for it and he reckons the road is a cracker and actually better than Mt Buller. He described it as a mini Cethana so I'm keen to see it now. Bris and I will go check it out this weekend.

Anyhoo - excited to be planning another one! :)

A preview of the 2012 course has been released.

The east coast run in reverse will be interesting. Most of the stages will be a hillclimb instead of a decent
