    - A/C

    Nah you didnt get the cruiser all good, Id attribute the lack of traction to the flash flooding we had, dont think anything of it.

    I'm sure Kedderz could hunt you down a cheap one, he has the gift.

    Here's a few laps from the in-car

    The dull popping noises on the straight is my roof buckling and then returning to normal from the air pressure at speed!

    Its very interesting to watch that footage compared to the wrx, I just seem to have catastrophic understeer, it just plows its way through the corner tyres wailing in pain

    That would be the AWD treating you to that fun.

    the GT4 used to be the same, just painful and annoying, but still surprisingly quick whilst doing it.

    Just checked out my rear tyres and the rear left delaminated in the heat yesterday, lucky I was planning to replace them today anyway.

    Wat??

    It's a RACETRACK, that's the whole point of TRACK days - FFS they call their days SPEED OFF THE STREETS. Of course there's a fucken need to run at 10/10ths! Otherwise you'd just go and run at 8/10ths on the street until you put your mate in the passenger seat into a telegraph pole.

    This is just why you need to come to our days, they're much more relaxed than on the public days.

    Yes but barrel-rolling your car is a little more than 10/10ths.

    Spinning cold semi slicks out of the pits is hardly 'hooning' or '10/10ths'.

    The manager there is the biggest walking contradiction on the face of the planet.

    No briefings yet new people are meant to know what all the flags mean and track ettiquette etc.

    Traction loss on the track gets you nailed harder than on the street - makes perfect sense.

    He pretends all his rage is about safety yet in reality he couldn't really give a fuk.

    I've exited the pits in exactly the same manner numerous times at the tracks days organised by Garth, never been an issue. Not sure why they go to town with threats of banning each time I attend a normal "Speed off the streets" open day? Its even worse when I go with my ute.

    I can't believe they get away with not having a driver's briefing, you'd expect insurance/workcover would be on them like a tonne of bricks if an incident occurred.
