Tipperary Sean Conlon Memorial Forestry

So we’ve ended up with a pretty poor seeding for the first round of the forestry championship this weekend. 59th out of 64 main field runners is disappointing but we’ll see what we can do.

We’re into class 3 this year as we’re officially ancient now.  So it’s back into the main field but could be quite rutted that far back.

We’ve a new final drive in the car which should shorten the gears up a bit and hopefully give some more pull on the uphill sections and up through the gears.  We’re also kitted out in new Stilos which have much better noise reduction along with a much better intercom.

Late drama however - the gearbox was only back in at the start of the week, but it’s been out again due to a broken spring causing the clutch to go to the floor.  Thankfully, all looks ok now and it’s back in the car ready for the weekend.

Finally, we’ve struck a deal on a new in-car camera for the year.  So hopefully there’ll be some better footage this time round!!!

More updates soon.
