Targa Newfoundland 2017

Day 1 is in the books!

Hello from rain drenched Clarenville.

All 4 of our cars and crews survived a day of sun, rain and wind. Competition in GT class is very tight but our two MINIs handled things very well. The two M3s stayed on course and on the road. John Hume Jr in #9 drove flawlessly.
In car #333, well let’s just  say it is a learning experience for me being in Targa class for the first time. However, me and my co-pilot Ron Bartleet had a fulfilling day and kept it shiny side up on the Tarmac.
Final scores for today are not posted yet, so we will have to wait until tomorrow to see where we all stand.

Ahh, tomorrow a nice soggy day is forecast. We will be driving in the rain all day.
No need to wash the vehicles to be sure. All crews in all four cars are getting along beautifully so far, but hey, it is only Monday after all! Despite the rain we had crowds of spectators watching us zip by along the side of the road on transits. We handed out bunches of “Hero cards” to kids and adults alike!MS 4_Car#333_John Hume Sr Ron Bartleet

Until tomorrow….
Vroom,
