Wow Luke's car looks great Daniel.

Unfortunately I am away in the US but would have loved to come down for a look. I know it will be some great racing and plenty of fun.

If the series goes around next year I am hoping to join you all on the track.

Enjoy.

I'll be a heretic and hope for slippery conditions again like we had for race 3 last month :-)

Should be there - hoping for some dry weather this time!

Not that I mind the rain though ;)

That NC of Luke's sure is a pretty car, looking forward to seeing how it goes in the dry as I reckon it will have some pace!

I'll be there will bells on. Great to see some new and returning faces for the next round (put me down for a bit of drizzle too. Full rain wasn't my forte, but a bit of drizzle was juuuuust right!).

Wow, Luke upping the ante in the car presentation stakes! I'll need to find somewhere new to put a pinstripe on mine.

I am also very keen for 24 August to roll around, particularly as I have just discovered that car 49/149 has been running with an open diff (or a faulty LSD). Am hoping that it was the cause of its mongrel behavior whenever the track gets slippery. I have acquired a well tested KAAZ 4.1 LSD that should improve both traction and acceleration.
Congratulations to whoever did the livery on Luke' new car; it's a pity most of us will only see the rear end on the track!

Just under 3 weeks now until round 4.

Don’t forget for any first timers doing this round – or anyone contemplating this round or any future weekend – we assign a ‘buddy’ to help you prepare for your first round.

You can also speak to someone who has only recently taken the step from sprints or club days to get their impression of what it entails.

Entries close this Friday, 15th August.

I held off putting in an entry until after the Phillip Island 6-Hour and NSW Supersprint #5 over the last 2 weekends. The car (and driver!) came through those events fine, other than a clutch problem which will be fixed by 24/8, so my entry will be going in today.

See you all there!

Glad car and driver came through ok. Lets hope the temperature heads north....

The wife's clipped my wings for this round, but if Daniels car isn't finished he will drive mine.
Will be at Winton.
I'll be watching Natsoft closely. Have fun everyone.
