I second that, thanks to Jean and the rest of the team who work hard to make it such a great day for all of us.

Good to meet some of you from the forum and a great day out on the track once again. Heaps of fun on the modified circuit at the end of the day and would have loved another go except for the fuel level. Great to see plenty of PB's on the day. Well done.

Had an absolutely top day. What fun.

Another PB here too! Got a 1:16.20 down from 1:19.10 and boy am I happy at that. Damn I love semi-slicks! They just keep on gripping. :shock:

They give you so much confidence. For the first time (toward the end of they day) I was able to keep it flat to the floor, no lift off at all through the turn 1 kink. A bit freaky at first but those NB8B brakes just keep on braking.

Alsmost got into my ultimate goal of 1:15's but wasn't to be. If i've got semi slicks next time, i'm pretty sure I can get into 15's. I just know I can take that fish hook quicker. :twisted:

Anyone know when the final times are published?

They go on the web don't they?

Oh and a big thank you as always to Mike, Jean and all.

Hi Snowie,

You should receive a hard copy of all the times for the day for each car car in the mail in the next few days.

There was only about 35 cars running over 4 groups. Very quick turn around between drives. Was the best one i've been to yet! :mrgreen:

Times are up on the Club site.

Finished 9th o/a. Happy with that except that Pluto got me on one hot lap to be the fastest car on road tyres. :evil:

'spose there is some advantage to having a turbo. :roll:

Glad you liked it! Must say it is my favourite of the 4 that I have had! It does look one heck of a lot better when it is clean and polished!
Garry, Richard, Rob and Cam where are you when I need you? :?:

Again, I am frustrated at not being able to connect forum names with real people!

Thanks!

Shame the photos didn't turn out. I noticed quite a few guys down there with cameras. Mainly on the turn heading onto the front straight and also half way down the straight.
