Targa Newfoundland 2017

Smashes, crashes and bashes

That pretty much describes the race today here I sunny summery Newfoundland.

At least 5 cars went off the road today for various reasons, mainly driver and co-pilot ran out of talent in each case.
JohnJr and Ron had to stop to lend assistance to the Kia car which as run off the road at one point. However, no injuries have been reported as a result of the multiple incidents.

The three remaining cars on the Hume team turned in perfect scores today. So are at the top of their respective groups to start Tuesday off.
That Laguna Sega Blue M3 (car #9) looks and sounds awfully good flying down the closed road race circuits. It has to be one of the quickest cars in the entire pack this year. However it had a retaining bolt in its suspension come loose late in the day our mechanic was able to fix it on the fly as it were, so no stages were missed as a result. Tonight Justin Crant is going over car #9 with a fine tooth comb to ensure no more loose pieces for tomorrow.

Things start to get more difficult tomorrow.

All team members are anxious to get back on the road early AM.
All for now.
