With only a few days to go Rhubarb & Custard is lying third in its class and provided we don’t break down or foul up that’s probably where we will end up at the finish line. We are simply too heavy to beat the faster cars on the speed sections so our only way of gaining on them are the regularities - but they keep getting cancelled.
Breaking down is always a possibility. One of the Fangios has burnt out its clutch (again), one of the Mustangs lost fifth gear and reverse on the racetrack, the Ford Capri has retired hurt with a broken camshaft chain and the Shelby has lost an ‘H’ from its rear badge and so is now a Sell by.
We have had problems with the passenger door starting to fall off, but we fixed that with a screwdriver. The handbrake has stopped working but that will be fixed later today. There’s oil leaking from the engine seals and the rear axle but not in a serious way. Otherwise all in good shape.
