For the first time I entered the Stroud & District MC's Mechanics Trial last Saturday and congratulate the organizers on a well run and most enjoyable trial.
Excuse my ignorance, but why is this called "The Mechanics Trial".
Peter, I had a great day out the Mechanics Trial too!, as you say the trial was well run and everyone was friendly. I took some photos at the start:- http://hoits.smugmug.com/gallery/2132567/1/110425621 then at Mackhouse http://hoits.smugmug.com/gallery/2132567/1/110425621 and finally at Greenway Lane 1 http://hoits.smugmug.com/gallery/2132618/1/110429385 Not really a day for cars in interesting situations, but plenty of good photos of the competitors. As usual let me know if you want any more, or better quality. Dave Cook
Some great pictures! The pics of car 5 on Mackhouse were taken less than 1 min before I broke the diff on the re-start! It was all going so well at that point! Good job I had a spare diff. Cheers Dan Minett-Smith
Yes that was our first trial. We had a great day, even though we spent most of it changing the diff! This would not have been possible if it wasn't for all the help we had from organisers and spectators, not to mention my dad and brother who supplied all the tools and man power! Looking forward to the Allen........................ Dan M-S

ReplyDeleteDave Thanks for the pics. I had trouble getting the mackhouse ones, I think the reference is wrong. Peter Mountain
