Targa Newfoundland 2017

Day two is now finished

Surprisingly there were no more car wrecks today. We ran six log and fast races. Our two GT class cars #1333 and #1135 remain tied for first with two other cars in their class.

Meanwhile #9, our Targa class entry incurred 18 seconds in penalties. It seems the co-pilot read driving and speed instructions from the wrong race, causing them to run slower than they should have. However in their Modern class they still sit in 6th place with a good chance of finishing well. The ever so popular race through Gander had to be cancelled as organizers felt there were unresolved safety concerns. This is a shame as this run which is usually done twice, is one of the highlight races of the week and watched by most of the folks living in this community.

Wednesday will be interesting as we see many new routes never before raced in this event. The weather was rainy to start the day today, then cleared up, but is now very chilly. Forecast tomorrow is sunny but crisp.

Until then, all for now,
From. Team Hume.
