Sounds like you did enough cleaning for both of us. Which is good, because mine hasn't been washed in a couple of months.

What a day. Thanks to Brian and everyone from QR. We both walked away with a PB. Such a nice and relaxed atmosphere.

Great day perfect weather and a relatively good roll-up

Thanks to Brian & JBT and Doug and his tremendous team from Queensland Raceways for a job well done :wink:

No PB but damn close! I think it was the ducks walking across the entry to the main straight that stuffed a good lap!!

Well done to all who ran and those who managed PB's

oh, those ducks must have tried to jump out in front of everybody, thought it was just me.....

Yes, a great day, thanks to John and Brian, Doug and the crew from QR. Perfect weather. Couldn't hope for a better day off work. It was great to have Doug in the car sorting out the crap I was doing wrong.

A PB was rewarding too.

Those must be the same ducks that were sitting on the outside of Hungry over the weekend during the Group N races. Incidentally, exactly the same spot I had a big spin today. Learning to drive semis. Didn't do so well. Improved PB by 4 tenths by the third session, while still trying to bleed the tyres down to 29psi hot. Turns out the last 2psi drop seriously upset the balance, and I didn't adjust the coilovers to suit. Lesson learned.

Great Day today, Thanks to all involved in making it a success.

I haven't been on the track for 18 months, but so glad I did today.

Cheers Paul.

Thanks for the great day MX5 Club

and for the photos Stu!

Was just starting to get into the swing of things when it was time to pack up haha. I took it pretty easy for the first few sessions and finally got back down to the 65s by the 5th run. Managed to crack a 64 just... 0.0033 off my PB

haha
