Yeah I've spent 9 years looking for 0.18. That's 0.29%

Great to catch you and Garry Monday, such a fun day!! Nice in my group for the first couple of runs to find I ran second to him on the timesheets!! Damn that made me feel good! :wink:

My 62sec NB is now for sale (with trailer!) for just 10k... just sayin

A good driver would no doubt go even quicker

Don't be so modest Matt! That is indeed an excellent car for anyone wanting to hit the track!

Bit of slippery fun
Appearances by Dean and Charlie Brown and finishes with a MINX pirouette

I was wondering what the NC did there to come past the bus stop covered in mud. Good job keeping it off the wall at the end there too, most people going down that side of the hill don't get away with it.

I'll post up my GoPro shots from inside the car next week when I get home of the lose.
Missed the other one in Southern Loop as the battery was flat.

I spent some time at the top of The Karousel to see how guys were tackling this turn and took quite a few multi-sequence photos.

Here's a few of the individual shots from each sequence; I've tried to select photos from the bottom of the hill to the top to give an idea of the elevation involved in the turn for those who have never been there.

Peter Steinback

Grant Black

Ross Cali

Brian Ferrabee

Keith Monaghan

Tim Anson (zoomzoom)

Danny Irvine (orx626)

John Toomer (CAR53)

John Tait (JBT)

Brian Hegarty

Roger Day (zero00)

Unknown

Adam Shipway (adidistyle)

Phil Mayo

If anyone wants the entire series from one of these, send me a PM with an e-mail address - they'd look good as photos "in the pool room" (or your office cubicle) staggered diagonally up on a wall.

I have have lots of zoomzoom's laps since my camera seemed to focus better on his car - possibly due to the white/black contrast of his car I guess???
