Nothing has change from when some of us ran NB's before the NC came out.

I love it, the growth in the number of people running NC models has been astounding. Greta rivalry!

I want to see you crack the 1:10 Phil!

So do I Hayden but I haven't had a lot of seat time this year, so it's more likely to be Ralph that slips into the 1:09's first but you never know. I'll be trying hard. :D
Maybe you can go in front of me and give me a tow down the straight 8)

Maybe you need a KERS system?

I will be there, I just hope I can get the car sorted after my exams as I have made a few drastic changes.
To be honest, I want Marks car to finish up, so I can follow him.

Rivalry is incredibly friendly with information shared freely among the players

Everything is becoming readily available, one day soon, even the fastest naturally aspirated NC will require a supercharger to remain competitive. Class or amongst friends.

Anything other than a trailored car is asking for trouble.

Most of us didn't win Oz Lotto last night and don't have the luxury of a tow car and trailer to get our road NC's to the track.
If I did, then my NC wouldn't be a dual purpose car but a dedicated track car and all the mods that go with it.
So until my numbers drop I'll just have to put up with a few light mods and wringing its neck. :D
