Had the QLD r2 State championship on sunday , first time driving it with it's new setup turbo , it was a shame I had to take off my tower brace to fit it on as the front seemed to wash out a little coming out of a turn , and I have lost my 2nd gear sycros .

So had practice from 10 , got about 3 laps in and found I was lossing power , opened the hood and found out I had melted a cooler pipe as it was too close to the manifold , so had to rush around to the supercheap to buy and then fit a new one , and also make a section of heat shield to make sure it does not happen again .

Then came qualifiying , I had one more practice lap to check the setup which felt good , so I lined up for my first qualifying lap , started out great but I missed 3rd going into the dipper and went into 5th , but managed to recover and get through without to much trouble. My second qualifying went well besides a little bit of dirt turbo .

Ended up qualifying in 17th and had my first battle up against the TOKAGE soarer driven by Josh Botcher , a well proven driver who normaly drives his FC rx7 , but due to brakege was picked to drive for the TOKAGE company.

First lap I was chasing , and I managed to stick very close but at the cost of losing angle a few times , lead lap I hit the dirt once which was being judged very harshly , so it went to a re- run where as the Soarer spun both times due to a bad tyre , so I was through to top 16.

Next battle was against my very good friend Eugene in the Federal/Mercury 180sx , a seasoned DA competitor in a 400rwhp 2.2 tomei 970kg fully built drift rig. First lap I was chasing and lets just say he pulled away with his foot to the floor , and on my lead lap he followed very well , so I was knocked out , but was told by many people that it was a very close battle considering the power difference. I was told later that with my score against Euge that I made 12th place

I then had the rest of the comp to go and practice down the other end of the track , which is allways good fun. I will get pics up if I find any !
