2006 LAKE MOUNTAIN SPRINT

Next on Peter's self penned list of events was the Lake Mountain Sprint.

Held over the weekend 27-28th of May 2006, competitors made the dash to the summit four times each day, their cumulative times determining the winner.

With a new gearbox, a more appropriate set of tires, and some further suspension tuning, The Brock Daytona Sports Cars Coupe was again ready for action.

Without the benefit of a reconnaissance run, the team of Brock and Hone suffered, albeit only slightly, against the White/White combination in their Lamborghini Gallardo, who had put in considerable time familiarising themselves with the Lake Mountain Sprint track days earlier.

A slow first run possibly the only thing stopping a Daytona win, as the White's finished the weekend 1st Overall with a cumulative time of 38min 33.75secs to Peter and Mick's 2nd fastest Overall time of 38min 53.32secs. A 19.57sec differential.

Comparing the overall time difference with the 24.26sec split between Brock/Hone's and the White's first run of the weekend, it was an encouraging albeit frustrating result. So close to being a first hill climb victory for Daytona Sports Cars.

Peter and Mick finished the weekend as the fastest two wheel drive, and posted the second fastest run overall with a time of 4min 37.40sec, which came as an unexpected shock to the Porsche contingent.
