Jake had engine failure on the last leg. Bike recovery. Restarts today in 11th spot, but takes a 16 hour penalty....
thanks much for those pics and yes, you better go get some more. No pics of skidrow (Ryan) ? Hows he doing ?
Ryan does not show n the results, is shows as if he is on recovery with a front wheel problem. Problem arised in SS1 ... I hope it's not something serious, its a real shame ... SS1 winner Todd Smith, Rodney 6secs behind and then 47 secs lates is Matt. Aprilia shows 10th on SS1 and Chris HSI shows as if he is out of SS1 as well... SS2 winner Rodney , Todd shows 43secs+ later and Todd Smith another 9+minutes later Aprilia RXV shows 9th... SS3 Jimba Jimba, Rodney, Todd (+42 secs) and then Matt (+11.5 minutes) Aprilia RXV shows 8th... No other results at the time of writing...
Org's website states non of the side by sides finished the day. The wet sand to hard on their trannies?
Well after a hectic day, Rod and Todd locked horns for most of it. Rod trying to make a breaking out in front and Todd chasing as hard as he dare. AFTER 450 KM's OF COMPETITIVE racing, there was a 1 (one) second difference between them. It was a brutally fast procession. Here they are in the same section. Rod. Todd.
Saturday and Sunday run and done... now the Safari working week lays ahead... <HR style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #575757; COLOR: #575757" SIZE=1> http://www.rallyresults.com.au/safari2013/default.asp<!-- / icon and title --><!-- message --> Quote: <TABLE border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=4 width="100%"><TBODY><TR><TD style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 1px inset; BORDER-LEFT: 1px inset; BORDER-TOP: 1px inset; BORDER-RIGHT: 1px inset" class=alt2>Originally Posted by tHEtREV Great to see Scobes doing well. </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE> +1 Russell (Oz ADV inmate scobes) is doing a great job thusfar... (in 5th overall after Leg 2) Other (new) names in the top 10 so far... Lee Stephens is impressing and I gotta say (even though he is a world class competitor in rally circles) Alister McCrae is doing a mighty fine job for his first time in competition on a rally bike. Shane D has got one eye on the Dakar entry ticket already... it would be nice to see him make the trip to Sth America to team up with Rod F on a Yamaha supported bike and give the big show a shake in January. After the day one failure of Jake's bike, I'm guessing that the GHR guys spent all night (after taking care of the other team bikes) to put a new donk in the #1 scooter. Interesting that he sat out leg 2 though...? As Sylvia has indicated that he will come out again on Leg 3 (Gascoyne to Gascoyne)... start in pos 11., just after the remaining top ten contenders. Roll on Safari week PS: Is anyone monitoring the Safari TV youtube channel. They are doing a top job with the interviews and daily image re-caps. Ivan Erceg and Bruce Garland have got to be two of the best interviews in the game... bloody clowns! Their off cuff bivouac dialogue and antics make a bloke homesick I tell ya.
