There is plenty of kitty litter on turn one if you get that a little bit wrong There are plenty of us Boosters roaming around if you need to chat thou

The entry to the crossover can be a bit hairy if there is a nice patch of s2000 gearbox oil on track... |

Bring along some tools perhaps and a full jerry can of your favourite jungle juice and off you go |

The course is just under 2km long. So depends how much your car chews in around 50km QUOTE(jezza323 @ Apr 13 2007, 12:28 PM) [snapback]1280962334[/snapback] its min 3 sessions of 5 hot laps (1 out and 1 in as well) sometimes get 4 sessions i only go through 1/4 tank ish (including the 40 mins to QR and 40 mins home again) but im sure you will use more Sprint course = 1.89km x 5 ... multipled by right foot ... divided by time spent lawn mowing the inner field ... subtract overtaking slow pokes ... and then you have the anwser to fuel consumption |

Was an enjoyable day out there today - I ran a best of 1:11.41 which I'm quite pleased with for a first time out with the only real mods being Koni Yellows on all fours. |

Enjoyable of course apart from managing to get caught in the large oil spill in the second session. Didn't see it and had no idea what was going on until I pulled back in pit lane. Thankfully avoided the tyre wall  On a side note - what happened to the Hi Power CRX? Saw it parked on the side of the Cunningham on my way home around 6pm - result of the offroading in the third session?  ROCK ON R~R The motor may have done a bearing However the car has performed passed Ivan's expectations and cut a second off it's PB The CRX is now well into the 57's (57.46) with still more work to come PS . I felt touched that ZENNON came and visited me on turn 6

I know a couple of turbo cars have gone quicker, but not too many n/a's would have... maybe the gt40? edit: is it just me or is the post above's time after this ones? 7:43 > 7:33 right??? (prolly too much sun )
