Another few milestones from last Friday
· We received the welder including a very comprehensive setup and technique and use session , Jeff arranged by Dave L was excellent if you looking for a welder or tuition he is avail .
The body group were all smiles after they had a weld each , this will be a very valuable tool for the project and other club work . The Shed manager will be assessing members and authorising those members to use the machine. This is our overall policy with specialist equipment.
· The other achievement was the engine team mounted the engine on the test rig , kindly loaned by Chris Baraciolli for our testing stage thanks Chris B and Graeme Ruby.
With 2 working and a few supervisors the installation fell into place and there was long faces when the first short crank occurred , there was long glances , but alas only a loose contact, Ross Hutton elbowed in and fixed this issue , Oil OK, water checked , all standing clear. Where’s the fuel? Can we afford it… Donated by !!!!
Ready set GO…..
· BINGO on a second attempt the engine burst into life after a tickle or two of the throttle and choke …
A cheer went up and all looks good, as someone said “bloody 62 PSI oil pressure is better than mine”
We are confident all is well with the heart of our baby.
Next task will be to remove and inspect the gearbox.
· The body boys after some ogling at the welder removed a panel to inspect the inner hidden structure. The body was declared ready for sand blasting . This will be arranged ASAP.
Thanks to Charlie we have a new LH door frame but we still need to find a RH door , Please pass the word . We will be preparing for the return of the blasted body and remove the floors and other unserviceable panels.
· Mobile Tool benches
David Lowe and his helpers RH and DB installed the casters on the mobile benches, these are now ready for a clean and paint.
Our Tasks are on the white board , have a look when you are next in the club corner.
Because of Easter the next session will be conducted on April 22nd at 0930. Letting me know who will be attending helps.
Thanks all again another productive session
Remember don’t miss the other technical sessions being run by Graeme……
Regards
Don and David L
Geelong Motorsports Complex gets some Tarmac
Event 4 of our Competition calendar takes place next Sunday at the brand- new sealed Motorkhana pad at Avalon. This event is being run in conjunction with the WDCC and the GMSC, and if the thought of having to wash the mud off your pride and joy after a grass based event has put you off in the past, this is a great opportunity to come and try Motorkhana for the first time on the bitumen. Or for those of you who are Motorkhana regulars, here’s a chance to strut your stuff without getting down and dirty. Either way, come down and support the club, and give a hearty “well done” to the club members who have worked so tirelessly to get the pad installed. If you’re keen to have a crack, attached the supp regs, entry form and self-check documents. Please note that we have had to increase the entry fee to $25 – which is still a bargain. Please print and complete the entry and self-check forms and bring them along to the event. You can also register on the day. Entry fee payment will also be accepted on the day. In years to come you’ll be able to tell the friends and family that YOU WERE THERE at the beginning… Hope to see you on Sunday!
Eddington Sprints
Eddington was a great day out as usual, with a strong contingent from the club present. A few cars weren’t running quite as they should, one choosing to become a 4 speed instead of a 5 speed, and another having ignition issues. Everyone did get a couple of runs in, and the cars weren’t any worse for wear after the event. Click on the picture above to find a video of the day.
