Hey guys just letting you know i'll definately be at this one on sunday should start at about 1pm, entry is $10 and its $100 to drive on top. I was gonna try out for the comp thats running, but with the new sway bars the car feels heaps different and i havent dríven in a little while so i'll just be in the practice zone.

If you want to drive then make sure you get there early cause they are putting caps on numbers nowadays.

Was a good day, had some major understeer and controll issues at the start of the day but after a few runs i got it under controll and actually got the handbrake working a couple of times (about 3 or 4, then it died again) which made the drifts a bit smoother when changing down gears. I pretty much busted another gearbox so i'll be on the look out for another today.
I actually burned through a whole set of tyres this time (they usually last a couple of events) but i think it was due to the softer compound as i was getting a decent amount of smoke off em.

Here's one photo i found someone took of me:

Cool, you'll have to come up to QR next time i'm out. If there's passenger runs i'll take anyone around that wants to (and has a passenger arm band).

Cheers
