It's raining, it's pouring.

At least in Sydney. And Ed's car is nice and dry

[YLD-16L]

It's raining, it's pouring.

Crystal clear blue skies here in Canberra so they may be lucky?

EDIT: Just had a look at the local BOM radar image and Goulburn looks dry at the moment.

Cold day but dry at least. Had an awesome time and got a 1:15:16 which I'm pretty happy with. I went for a ride with Justen and faaark me does that thing pull! Power-on oversteer everywhere

I've got some video footage and photos which I'll post when I get them off the cameras.

Great to meet some new faces too....

[Koffee-Black]

great time for that big car!

[MR22ZZ]

Had an AWESOME time

a little slippery in the morning and I found the grass (backwards) 3 times... twice at turn 1

Dryed up pretty fast once the sun peeped out for a bit... but new PB of 1:16.4 on VERY crap street tyres (Silverstone Kruizers) which I've very happy with.

For my first time down there driving..Had an awesome day, for stock brake and stock suspenion and boost cut ( for the moment) ended up with a 1:20:18 as the best time for the day, so hopefully was all of the above are upgraded, i should easily bring my times down


ALSO IF ANY ONE HAS PICS OF MY CAR AT WAKEFIELD PLEASE LET ME KNOW

Should i post pics of my tyres now?

[Roundy]

yep i had an awesome time too, tho it was bloody cold!

I managed a 1:18.09something. I was stoked, about 4s quicker then last time (i think).
Just need to try and sort something out with the cooling cause it kept over-heating

Also i had a ride in Dylans Sportivo, makes my car look ordinary it is just soo awesome for what it is!

Also Adam i have some pics of your car, tho as i said yesterday, i need to get them developed first LOL

just walked in the door.. had a blast and learnt a hell of a lot about what my car can do so i'll definately be back there some time soon looking to smash my current time.

which was..... ?

not great

but he learnt where he was losing time.

EDIT: and when will pics etc go up...? I have a few but I had battery issues so not many good ones.

[MR22ZZ]

here we go... sorted through the few good pics I got...


This thing was nice to see... It flew passed me down the straight and I was @160-165 km/h. Heald with it through the top section but it had so much mumbo down the straight (I don't think he was pushing it too had over the top section though)



This one came off worse for wear from a bit of an incident with the inside of the curbing at the middle hairpin... to cut a long story short, it was launched big time and game down with a broken rear wheel and tyre and lots of +ve camber on the rear right...

and a few more...

[TurboRA28]

Yup was an awesome day! The RA28 stayed in 1 piece which lately has been rare. I beat my personal best also and managed a 14.7 .. I really don't think I can go much quicker than that without some decent rubber.

Was nice to drive home with a damage report = 0.

Also good to meet some new people and put some names to faces.

Cheers
