Big Boys April 2001

Problems set in early with one engine smoking and losing power before we reached the event. On the first round of the Gymkhana, Skip busted his Gearbox. Puss was the next person to experience problems trashing his gearbox. Selecting reverse gave him 1st gear ?? go figure???. The carnage continued when my rear left strut collapsed in the Hill drags. Other problems included two engine problems in our V8 club members. Fossil was fortunate enough to almost escape problems winning numerous rounds of the Hill drags before losing Turbo pressure (back to 10psi) and then being beaten by a Turbo Pajero.
