    Tried that at previous meets and just got s**t photos so didn't bother this time.

    Congrats on class win. I'll actually wander over and say hi next time...

    Did you get any video footage?

    Cheers,
    Todd

    The only problem I have is no-one takes photos of an AE82 wallowing around the track for me to use as an avatar.

    Will try harder next time for action shots

    Yep, April 1. Same day as Goulburn Swap Meet. Probably just as well, I only buy stuff I don't need for a project that is never going to be finished...

    nice videos,

    bit of lounge chair racing here, but none-the-less

    The corner after the chicane where you start to head up the hill, SOO much time available there by taking the chicane slightly slower allowing a super clean late apex to get on the throttle early up the hill!

    That was one of the areas i improved on majorly throughout the day, focusing on getting the power down earlier and earlier through that single corner!! As the earlier you get on it there, the faster you are up that whole next straight

    most of the other corners aren't as easy to find time on, the top corner been a 180° (ish) corner makes it hard to get on the power early, the fast corner, not much to be gained there, same with the last corner (due to the short run to the finish line)

    Cheers
    Nathan

    excuse dodgy paint photoshop
    anyways something like that line is what i am talking about (the first part of it is dodgy as hell, but the final corner is about right)
    it allows you to get on the power early and carry that pace all the way up the hill.

    i hope to be at the April one, i believe my dad might be there with his M3...so i would like to be there to show him how its done
