    Default Finally a podium

    I would like to thank the members on this forum who helped me in the development of my VS speedway sedan. Our local title was held on saturday & I managed to finish in third on a track that was extremely rough on vehicles. A slippery surface made cornering a nightmare as four wheel slides into the fence were common.( for me anyway)There hasnt been a holden in the street stock class on the podium here for at least seven years so to do this on its debut is great.
    Once again thanks Doctor Bob, greenfoam, Ols108 & the others who"s information helped to finally get this thing running.

    Good stuff pal, I'd like to get into something similar one day.
    Is what you do a full time thing? or more of a 'demanding' hobby thing?

    It's definately a demanding hobby.
    During the season most nights are spent improving on the car or repairing damage from the previous meeting. The next five weeks on this car will be spent repairing the carnage & trying to nut out the steering issues.

    well done... I love watching speedway, but where I live, races are only ever demos and the whole race goes for about 5 laps of a tiny little track
