Well guys here are a few of the better ones as they say ----- only 2 Toyota's running ( RAV 4 & MR2 ) gOOD DAY FOR FAST TIMES AS TRACK WAS WARM , NO WIND AND NOT TO HOT . As it was a NSW round lots of different cars than we normaly see . FTD was a open wheeler , I think 39.18 , near the track record but not close enough. A few close shaves a couple of which I got on film. The locals that ran all seemed to be going a bit harder than normal . A good day all round.





Todds RX thing from an angle not normally seen .

Congratulations to Todd, for a very quick day on the hill..

Nice pics Bob.....

Who was driving the red hairdressers car?

[airocobra]

I think his/her name was Stephano Costafuckus!!! Or something like that

[Tyrie]

Red aw11 (assuming there were no red mx5s?) was Alex from Newcastle, oioioioioi on PF.

Thanks Bob - and JoJo.

Looking at results, red MR2 was driven by Alex E with a best time of 52.84, and the RAV4 was 56.63 - thereby proving that Toyota's are slower than Mazda's. <need pot stirring icon!>

I am so going to get thumped this year...

I'm still in your class so you'll have someone to beat lol

[Toddski]

I'm hoping I can do a few more 48s and turn the tables on JoJo this year. I figure if I keep winding him up the level of competition this year will be fantastic.

[JoJo]

yep, sure will Todd...... 47's for me tho........

[JoJo]

Were you quicker than the RX7 in the pics above?

[Toddski]

You have 47.55 to aim for to give you the class record. I'd need a lot more cubic dollars to get there...

Yes, best it managed was 51.77

If I'd have registered for the NSW championship my time was good enough to get me a class win in the classes my car would be eligible for.

Then again I have driven the track a bazillion times... You'd think I'd be faster...

[airocobra]

Shit he did a 51.77 , thats amazing , he was adding about an extra 20 metres on each run . Probably an ex rally driver , as we have a hard time keeping it on the black surface , the lure of the dirt is just to much for us.
