I saw the time (1 sec better than mine) and was wondering if it was raining. I was expecting around the 1:45's from the big guns. It's raining today, but i will go down and give them a hurry up. Phillip island does take a while to learn. Or is it just my lack of driving experience??

Just watch out for that shopping car, Davids Loftus's Starlet!!! 248kph down the straight on low boost

[FMS01]

There's been an issue with the timing gear and no one knows who's finished where. They may post results at some stage but I think there will still be speculation as to their accuracy

Remember it is your local track. It was raining most of the time and we'd never dríven a turbo there before. I'd personally like to do about another 100 laps there. Then you might see mid 40's. She's pretty stock.

I reckon that's an awesome time. You should be stoked. I know I'd be happy with that time.

Those 949's look good on it. Did you managed to fit a BBK under there or are those still standard SE calipers and rotors?

It just runs stock brakes. There isn't much fancy about the whole car. It has a healthy motor though.

Well done mate, good result.

Andrew and Tony did a good job too, looks like they were the highest placed 2F car?

[Blue94t]

Top Effort Cal and CT

[manga_blue]

I'd say they are great results for the whole MX5 contingent. It's always good to see them beating cars 10 times their price.

Congrats to all of you.

[Cal]

Thanks. Had we not stuffed up the safety car we would have finished a lot higher. Perhaps in a bit of a battle with CT. Neil's 1st stint in the car was very strong indeed. I had passed that Lotus in front at about the 50 minute mark only to have clutch issues a lap or two later. I couldn't get any gears from the exit of Siberia to Lukey Heights one lap. Finally got 3rd, but the Lotus, an RX7 and Fish and gone past. The others were a lap down though. Regardless, an awesome weekend. A big thanks to Tony Bonanno from Valley Car Clinic for the use of his car for the series. I think we have ended up 3rd in 2B behind 2 Lotus HPE's.

The 15x8 will clear an 11" (280mm) rotor and 4 pot Wilwood Dynalites. We're now running 11.75" (300mm)rotors with Wilwood 6 pot Dynapro calipers in our 15x9.
