Well done Ged! :clap:

Massive difference in the times, I gather some stages were canceled? Does that mean the Raymonds completed the rally in 8 minutes and Ged 13 minutes?

Did rain come or was it just the condition of the roads?

Yet again I was lurking in the forest at a road closure on SS 3.On the way in we traversed the stage and our small convoy brought up DUST:wtf: eventhough there was some standing water on the sides of the road.
The only problem at night is that you cant see car #'s only a brief glimpse in the dark. It was easy to pick Ged's Excel as there was little noise with plenty of light.Well done:clap::clap:
Third car through was the Cuttle C,dore and sounding strong but "bogged" later on. I'm sorry I couldn't pick out Kim's car but they finished.
Well done to Ged and the other competitors and a big thanks must go to NCCA I was set up just before 6 and it was all over by 9 with the sweep can only seconds behind the last competitor. Back home and in bed before 12:)
Regards Grumbo
Tony there was No rain the sky was clear and I saw more planes than cars.

Absolutely fantastic drive by Ged in some seriously tricky, slippery conditions!
Congratulations! (Read again the results list and see what cars a standard Excel beat!)
(Apologies for the pic, but you get the idea!)

VCRS rounds run on Target Timing, not Special Stage ..... so the scores represent "time over target" rather than elapsed time.

Thanks Dave,
now prompts next question;
anyone know what the target time was and how many stages were run?

From what Grummbo said, I assume a shortened event given he was home by 12. I think last year Bendigonians didn't get home till after 3am.
