Driver's brief was set for 12:00 noon. If brief can come forward 30-45 minutes all should be good.

Nice, enjoyable day. Rather exhausted but thanks for the warm welcomes and safe racing. Hopefully I'll make it to the next one. Hopefully I didnt hold anyone up.

Went along to watch this time...my better half took some pics so give us a couple of days to download/upload etc and i will post a link here.
no bent metal, just the occasional puffs of dust from the side of the circuit.

What a fantastic day. Was good to finally run with cars of similar power and times. Iv done a few days at QR before but this was my first with the MX5 club.

Got about 3 PB's so Im stoked with that, car ran flawlessly as always, new sparco seat helped massively. Was enjoyable getting to the top of 4th gear (7000 rpm @ 165 km/h) down the back straight on the sportsman session.

Thanks to everyone that makes these days happen and especially the staff at QR

Had a lot of fun pushing for new PBs today. Managed to improve Clubman and Sprint PBs both by 1.9 seconds, down to 1:07.4 and 1:04.8 respectively. Definitely found that the thicker sway bars need to be adjusted to make it more neutral, tail happy is an understatement. Had a fun moment at turn 1 in the last Clubman session trying to improve my PB in the final lap or two, tried a little too hard and lost it at T1. The bird sitting in the gravel seemed a bit startled to be almost run over.

Absolutely fantastic day!! Maybe a little too hot for me, expected a cool day so it hits around 30!!

Many thanks to Brian & June, Neil, JBT, Doug, Neil, Barb our marshall and all the QR Staff for the as usual excellent job!!

Nice to see so many new faces as well doing their first track day - congratulations to all!!

Ryan - well done for your first!!

Thanks to Mark for the company on the way home, 75 mins and we were at BP North Burpengary for coffee - enjoyable!!

See you all at Lakeside on July 28 - hope we can break 50 cars so spread the good word around :wink:

Knackered. But happy.
There are PBs too. Small improvements on Clubman and Sprint. And great to really test the brakes on Sportsman and National.

Clarkie did a good job getting various angles, lots of shots of all the cars that ran a few sessions.

Never had so much fun, way better than working on a Monday. So many thanks to John and Brian from the MX5 Club and QLD Raceway staff, without them we have nothing! Thanks to everybody else who showed up and put a car around the track, what an amazing turnout of like-minded folk.

cheers
