Awesome awesome day. Had a ball. I love coming to these track days because everyone is friendly as. Makes for an awesome atmosphere. Driving in the wet fast was something i hadnt done in my car so that was interesting

good fun though. Stoked to get a pb on the sprint track as well. In to the 58's which im really happy with.

Few little issues here and there but nothing to serious. Just happy to be able to get it in the drive way at the end of it all

Really good day.
Bit unlucky with the bloke with the skyline. It looked a little sorry on the way out. Hopefully it will just buff out.

Well done to Mark and the team( Flags and tower). Thanks so much for all your hard work.

Cheers Nigel.

Great day, rain certainly made things interesting!

Ditto on everyone being friendly as.

Cheers

Great day even though the weather made it challenging
shame the ego and ambition overwhelmed the skyline drivers skill level
He is ok, car went home on flatbed

GREAT DAY!!

Thanks firstly to Mark, Chris & Wendy for their excellent job done under trying conditions!

Thanks to all the other competitors as well, great job done by all, and congratulations to those who managed PB's for the day

Who would have thought the day would reallly have been decided on the FIRST run of the day!!

Just got home, Mark followed me thru the city backblocks in a troublefree run and then we stopped off BP Northbound for a well earned coffee!!

Only 63 sleeps to Lakeside!! :wink:

Thanks guys. Rain and wet track was a challenge, but still lots of fun. Got some incar footage of me getting sideways, so that was a blast.

Great day

Hire car was fun
Tires took me back to the days in the nc with sh*t tires

Lots of drifting lol

Big thanks to everyone for a great day. Had a blast - very happy with how the car went, i have heaps more i can get out of it - pretty funny that my fastest lap was on my very first lap haha. My mate sam in his MPS 6 had equally good time, though his brakes were well destroyed by the end . We'll hopefully make another one again soon :mrgreen:

I learnt a heap and the wet allowed me to feel the tollerance car/tyres and thank to Jeffry g for the coaching

Great bunch of people doing what they like

You and Sam are always welcome! Was great thinking how quick I was on the Sprint Circuit until that Madza 6 MPS FLEW past me!! I guess we should call it an MX55!!

Well done guys!!

Big thanks to Mark et al! Another great day with all the drama. Shame about Isaac Chalk in the Skyline, I hope he can join us again soon. It shows the importance of these track days and the lessons they can teach us. Better to find your limitations on track rather than in traffic. It is much better to for this to happen without involving other road users and possibly pedestrians. Cheers, see you all at Lakeside

Yeah - I'm going to have to pick up my pace so when he get's new brakes and we start tweaking the suspension i can actually keep up!

Stuart, I see what you mean about the camera as an learning aid now!
