Default Mart's 32 takes on Prescott Hill! VHRA GOW! 2021.

Hello! Welcome to Mart's Garage Outside Broadcasting Div.
So, with only a few shakedown miles on the 32 I took it to Prescott for the VHRA GOW! event. It all started so well. I got 1-1/2 runs in and the car started to misfire. I failed to fix it properly and never got a good hard run in. I can say, though that the car did handle and steer very well, considering it's age and how high it is. While continuing to run, albeit roughly, I did manage to drive home without any drama, other than boiling up while parking at the house.
Thanks to Neil at the VHRA and the sidewinders for putting on such a fantastic event, and the Bugatti owners club for allowing us onto the hallowed tarmac.
Take care and I'll catch you on the next one!
Mart.

Mart really enjoyed your video, now for the next one troubleshooting the misfire. How often do they have the hill climb?.
