One pic on P7&8

Had a great time yesterday and managed to surprise a few in my group being 3rd fastest.

The tyres got quite greasy as the track warmed up as it was a 36 deg day and had a lot of understeer later in the morning thru the turns 5 & 6 in the centre of the track when powering out otherwise the 595RSR's held up well.
Ended up with a 63.68 on the sprint track and a disappointing 68.37 on a hot clubman track late in the morning.

Found another pic of me hunting down 2 Mazda 3 MPS after starting app 5 seconds behind one and say 10 secs behind the other and managed to pass one in the 5 lap sprint :D

Hope I got some of the action on Go Pro so will get #2 son to post it nxt week.

PS Woody if you don't get your finger out you will soon be my age as I can tell you that the older you get the faster the years fly by.
Just do it and race the car as it is now as you are only racing the clock and improving your skills.

Yeah I completely agree rad. The only reason I am waiting is because the money I would use on the fuel and entry to race, I am putting towards the MPI. That and part of the car is un-assembled atm. But I am certainly racing this year. That and I will be racing at Willowbank this year for sure too. :beer

Good times. Well done rad. Can't wait to compare times and see just how much slower I am to you :)

What you somehow think I would be faster? I think you are crazy. Have been looking into it a lot, and I fall into the "performance" class all because I have an external wastegate. Joy.

Rad how much does it cost for you if you don't enter a class to race for a full day then? Is it cheaper? I hope so. If so I will totally be coming earlier than I was planning. Because currently it is $310 for a full day of racing.

$170 for a 1/2 day and that will get you app 30 laps @ full noise + warm up & slow down laps.

So yeah same pricing registered or not. (Well then again members get the discount).

If 1/2 day is all that is really needed, then thats awesome. :)

Hopefully will have my car running again today. And my Funk Lock engine mount arrives today :) can't wait to install it. Won't be long and I will join you round the track rad. :beer

Well won't be June because I am taking char away for her B'Day. So maybe August.
