Hud Racing E-14: Northern Regions Round 2 - Barberspan 250

This race is a special race for the HUD Racing team, as it is in effect, our “home” race with us being members of the Barberspan Motor Klub. Held between Delareyville and Sannieshof in the Northwest Province it proved to be a tough 315km’s from start to finish.

The E-class Hardbody started the time trial running smoothly and despite the high temperatures and dusty terrain, FUCHS Lubricants kept the vehicle in good condition. With Rod Cook at the wheel, and Greg Parkin in the navigator the time trial saw the E-14 team finishing as 3rd fastest in E Class.

The team’s Nissan ploughed through rocky bumps, deep muddy ruts and flat out straights in the 2 x 117km distance laps all along being kept cool by FUCHS Lubricants oils it charged through lap 1, and continue through lap 2 in an equally flourishing manner until the chequered flag was reached.

The team was placed 2nd in E Class, and 11th overall, within striking distance of the top 10, a brilliant achievement in this highly competitive TIORC championship. All in all, 7 E-Class vehicles started the race and only 3 finished.
