This is the BEST way to enjoy the thrill of being on an actual race track with a bunch of fellow MX5 enthusiasts! These mornings are now very popular at both Lakeside Park and Queensland Raceway

Yep, I'm in. A chance for me to try a new track, and at Happy Laps speeds I can't get into trouble :mrgreen:

Heh, we nearly fronted with a C Class wagon after I forgot to charge the Jaffa's battery last time. Just managed to eke in enough charge to get him going.

Great morning with around 30 cars on track, delicious breakfast and very good company!

Good to see wives/girlfriends, sons and daughters all having a drive and 30+ mins on track, I know I did one pit stop and still managed over 40km in distance

Thanks Adam for the organisation and thanks also to Matthew from QR for the briefing and overseeing of the event :wink:

Great morning. Lakeside is very fun, and happy laps is a great way to get familiar with the track.

Thanks Adam!

Put up a small album of shots from this morning - thanks to Adam and the club for a great time!

Seemed a little more 'earnest' this time, I was happy to fall back through the 'field' and find some space to get a little bit of feel for the coilovers...well, as much as I could with my wife in the car!

Finished off with a chat with the ND owner - followed it for a few laps and the immediate impression was they weren't kidding about the body roll!

Was it Danny's ND?

That's the one. We had quite a chat about it, he was interested in impressions from people watching it in action. I saw it coming (the LED lighting's distinctive) so let him past and slotted in to watch, was put in mind of my mate's old historic (hysteric) rally Peugeot 504. Well....not that bad, but still. He was finding it a little disconcerting coming from an NC.

All models were represented!

NA-NB8A-NB8B-NC-ND

Even two white NB8A's to me at least, not many of these, quite a few SE's, an SP as well!

Good to see Grant's son with his green 'P's in the immaculate black NA as well as Harrison is dad's NC with his 'P's - get 'em out there young!

Glad you enjoyed it Maniac and also good to see Peter & Lilli out as well - I know they had FUN!!
