Comrade Mook of the Sydney Rocketeers graced us with his presence for RCDNT2.
He kindly sent the following when I asked him to write us a brief trip report:
-------------------------------------------
‘Visit to RCD NT #2’
I was lucky enough to attend the second rocketcar day in the NT a couple of weeks ago and made the following notes on the back of my hand:
Extremely hot in Darwin. Best not to venture anywhere too far, too fast or too often
Good turnout with 19 cars.
Food category strongly represented with carrot car with goon valve wheels.
Tropical roads have a big camber (humpedness).
Cars hate camber.
A little drogue goes a long way.
Flying number plate: not worst car idea ever (see the results of the inspired “The King” as evidence).
Last year's winner went backwards: note to self, sabotage previous year's winners if necessary.
Is hot hot hot
Could advance interstate rivalry to a frenzy.
Sadly the rest of my notes were erased from my hand due to the sheer amount of sweat I generated due to the heat, which I mentioned earlier.
Go RCDNT

Thanks for the special comments there Mook.
Anyone else have anything blogworthy?
Dave.
