Well , bits and pieces duly delivered but my plan to spectate didn't quite come off . On the Bentley course startline where Matt was actually starting each competitor , the cars where just not coming up to the line in time so huge gaps , minutes in fact , were passing before another car appeared
Seeing as was daft enough to be right on the startline watching , I got volunteered to position cars up to the lazed beam using a very technical bit of kit ------- lump of 2x2
The idea being that the official startline Marshall could fly around chasing up ' chatting ' drivers to get their arse out of gear THEN come back to relieve me ----- never saw him again so was there till lunchtime
Had a good time watching in the afternoon though . A Phoenix I'd set up a few weeks ago was competing but had never been to Abingdon and didn't collect a podium BUT his times were very respectable at 49sec's on the Abingdon course and 52sec's on the Bentley course . I always found the latter to be the most difficult to do a competitive time and 52 is quick . My best Abingdon course time I seem to remember was 45sec's . You need to do these events every year to acheive a good time.
Matt's there again today helping with the rally which for him means he's had three days at it
I'm not competing but will be there to spectate plus deliver some suspension bits & pieces . Matt's there on the timing equipment duties ----------------- anyone else coming 
I'll be parked close to the results tent opposite the paddock on the BENTLEY course ---------------- Grey Landcruiser if you're looking
