It was a wet and slippery Autocross at BORMSA with the rain in the 24 hours leading up to the event making the track surface "interesting"!! Congratulations to all competitors on their efforts, with only a few muddy extractions required (thanks to rescue crews Mark, Cam, Rob & Rex) and great fun was had by all.

With the SxS and buggies blitzing the early runs in the mud, the cars made a comeback later in the day with many shaving over 30 seconds off their earlier times. Garry Connell made it 2 out of 2 at BORMSA in 1st place with 10:22.79, bringing it home before Ross Burton, who was shaking down the new rally car and took top 2WD honours (and a $75 BORMSA voucher) in 11:21.54. Fastest lap of the day went to Mike Gould, the only one to break the 2 minute barrier with a 1:59.41, getting mud into the Finish timekeeper's 4WD in the process!! Final results are attached.

Commendable efforts included Archa Oxley, who in his first autocross in the Excel came in a mere 20 seconds behind Dad's WRX after 5 runs, and Luke Millar, who managed to improve by almost 50 seconds across the day in his first competitive outing. The 0.04 second win by Wally over Rex was also a highlight. Many thanks to everyone who helped out, particularly Tyne, Rick and Ash.

We'll be back in at BORMSA in the morning for our Driver Development Day.
