[Music] finish the end of day one I think we're in eighth place in the arc haven't checked the VRC yet those cars have just been rolling in now um so yeah we earlier the rear left control arm had snapped or cracked we patch that up welded up a service I went back out with a lot of Towing in Canberra so that just was what it was here's Darla look and um yeah we got through the day so we're happy with that we've got some skinnier 185 who's used to try on the rear uh tomorrow because we're just not getting the re-attraction and the rear drive shaft had popped out a little bit as well so it's quite Snappy sometimes so that explains a few things it's good to find those things at service so beautiful weather hopefully tomorrow is the same only five stages and 48ks so we can't wait foreign [Music] [Music] service yeah we've made some changes from yesterday just trying to get the car to work on the Hoosiers put a 185 on the rear to try that we always run the 185 on the in the prowley GM and that works well um yeah we've got some good footage from yesterday the rear arm if you come over here we actually welded that up yesterday you can see just in under there we had to weld it up so we're lucky to find that and we got a lot of um Tow and Camber that we had to drive with in the afternoon but we've adjusted that now just by eye it actually doesn't look too bad we run quite a lot of Towing on the rear steering wheel seems pretty straight so that's good um yeah two stages 15 minute service brag along I think it is then two stages and finish with the power stage so it's gonna be a tricky day the first stage is like super rough narrow and Technical like roads are probably do you think that started rallying on at Mount Paul Punker and things like that nothing I've rallied on for years has been like that so it's going to be interesting to see how the arc cars go with it as well a little Dotson hopefully likes it six rights 40 bumpy five plus left into seven
