Thought I'do a Wednesday afternoon sprint so phoned track b 4 going was told it's fine so off I go and by the time we were sent out app 1 hour late it was raining g r 8 fun on 4 year old 3/4 worn out semi slicks :(
Managed to loop it under brakes into turn 3 with zero grip on the 1st run
2nd run was much better with boost down to 10 psi so no wheel spin in a st line but got a couple of compliments about a drift on turn 6 into main straight :D
about 2 go out 4 a 3rd run & the heavens opened up so gave it away
Cheers

Ashley the ELF rep is going to call me about going out on a Saturday avo next month with his Charger. Why don't we try and get a group together and maybe you would like to put on a driving display for us as well?

Are you thinking about a saturday afternoon sprint ???????? as they are usually chockers or a general practice day .
The wednesday afternoon sprints are not so hectic

No wonder I and 3 other drivers spun out as there was an article in the local paper a few days later saying that the v8 supercar drivers were going to boycot the track for their testing as the track had been sprayed with a sealer and Paul Wheel said they couldn't get any grip and can only do 1.15 laps in a car that was capable of 10's ( in the dry )
Apparently the track had some additional treatment to restore the grip levels and the testing went ahead and they all got into the 10's

THe day was oh so cool
my first time ever and had a ball

1:10.1031

Oh and was the val a white one?
