I'd be up for either of those. (Pending the unexpected).

It was in excellent shape in April and should still be so. There are restrictions on the run up on school days. I think it is open after 0900 but could be later. It is quite narrow in places. The October Club run will be going that way.

Club run on 12 Oct 2014: http://www.mx5clubqld.com.au/?page_id=3710

Tomorrow for those that would rather go for a drive than watch someone else drive a taxi on TV.

Sigsworth only did a 51.9? He did a 51.5 at evonats last year before all this work was done. I heard 49.5ish from him today.

Ross - it didn't look that fast, not loud really but hell! You know the car? Coming into Hungry the front diffuser or whatever you call it would shower sparks! Not as bad as the 777 'Nascar' thing that spun in Eastern Loop and then caught fire - they got it out real fast!

Yeah I know the one. Soon as it made an appearance at evonats I knew it would be a ridiculous car when it was ready for wtac. Last year's plans were for mick to hire a garage at eastern Creek for the entire year and fly down once a month to practice on the track. Mick will be running in the ProAm class, professional level cars with amateur level drivers. I daresay he will dominate his class without much trouble.

Funny about Michael's stock car, I heard they were a bit slow to get up there but then he was able to get back in and roll it back to the pits afterward, so it can't have been that slow. I hope the damage was minor, but the photos look pretty scary. Glad he got out alright.
