And a dry surface.

That looked really slippery.

Was very wet. I was going to go up in my seven but chickened out as i did not want to get wet. I thought this was hoots_min of the forum but was corrected. Where abouts are you based I am in Kintore.

Hi

I know Kintore well, I'm from Aberdeen but now in Dunfermline.

If you look at this clip you will see how wet it was!!

The cars got a very quick rack (2 turns) but I had far to much front ARB set up for the dry so had major understeer in the wet. Big turnout even in all that rain (over 100 entered) Graeme was there in his Predator - sounded like a bag of nails with the traction control in the whole time

Very impressive Andy, you're a good pedaller that's for sure. I particularly liked your climb of Forestburn, you really showed commitment and confidence in your car. I did Forestburn on the Highland Fling, a classic car rally in 1993 and remember it as a fantastic venue with blind crests and the unexpected so a little previous knowledge of what comes next is helpful!!
