The top of Canberra pits was reserved for Sliders at one of the OZ DT Nats, with a push start laneway marked out, I will suggest to the club that the same thing should be done this year, including hard to start machines this year

Talking 'bout hard to start, I have started a stripp-down on my XT motor. The thing actually fires up easily except for serious clutch drag when its cold, so that's No 1 , new valve springs No2, new conrod? No3, Oh yes and a breather hose with a bit more heat resistance! This will all take a while, meanwhile the RT1 seems to be going pretty well.
cheers pancho.
