Hey guys,

Well I guess I'll show up as well then!

Irwin we were 1.4s ad 1.5s behind on the short course. Then 0.6 and 0.73s behind on the long course. I worked out that if we're doing 120kph when we cross that finish line... you were 3.6cm ahead at 0.13s :lol:

Gives you some idea how ridiculously close we've been lately :mrgreen:

Going 2 be interesting with this Exige in 2B!


Bloody Exige, too quick for everyone. I think it was about 10 fastest on the day out of 105 cars.

What happened Davee with you off?

As for the day. What a shambles.
The organisers were a little upset that the Oran Park management hadn't prepared the track after overnight rain. It took to 11:00 before the day started. Then with 105 cars running, it was an hour and a half between runs.
It was very interesting, this was my first supersprint and the variety of cars their amazed me. From a Lotus Two Eleven all the way down to a 20 year old Barina on road tyres.
There was a lot of very serious money being thrown at the cars and some very intense 10/10ths driving.
Well done to all our Club members. Bad luck for Pat (Turbo Girl) having the SP getting stuck in third and having to retire. I think I came in last in the group. It took me a while to get the hang of the track. I found that there was too many corners that were between gears and I just couldn’t get a good flow happening. It wasn’t until the last race where I had Commodores hounding me through corners that I realised that maybe my tyres had seen better days. Normally I would have been able to run rings around them.
I got home late yesterday, got out the high pressure water cleaner and blasted off the mud and dirt from a little off in the esses but was too tired to change my wheels over.
At least it looks clean now and the rear view mirror isn’t full of crap.

Sound like an interesting day.........

Looks like the Lotus's (or is that Loti?) were excluded....... Should be an interesting story. Cant remember the last time someone was excluded from a supersprint??
