Some very nice pictures of #28 and pretty well everyone else, too. The sequence when Guran went into the mud is outstanding. The late afternoon shots with lights on in the gloom and rain are really something. Stay tuned - they aren't far away.

Uh oh! Looks like I better post the video of that one too.

In the meantime, here is my best lap of 1:15.96. Complete with said mud visible on the passenger window.

There is a brief report about the track day on the club website here
http://nsw.mx5.com.au/news/club-track-day-1st-june-2014
featuring a picture of Guran doing the gardening which I think resulted in that mud on his window that he mentioned in the previous post.

For me, well I was lucky enough to run around at the back of a couple of groups doing power runs down the straight, to check if my engine tune was still ok with the new race exhaust ystem, which was ermmmm .... a little bit loud.
The good news was that Sam at Wakefield measured the sound at a max of 90db, which is under the 95db CAMS & Wakefield limit, and even better, the new exhaust has added 300 to 400 RPM in 4th at the end of the straight, which probably translates to an extra 8'ish kmh. Woohoo!
Bring on the next supersprint at SMSP North circuit.

Hi, when can we expect the Greg Unger pics to appear here ?

Blesif · Postby **Blesif** » Sun Jun 15, 2014 4:38 pm

We're still working on it - there are 488 pictures so a lot to sift through.

Many thanks to Greg for capturing these 463 shots and for making them available. He has commented that he was taking shots randomly, and so can't guarantee that he got a photo of every car.
