I wasn't too happy with my times, I expected better of myself. It was certainly way to busy on the track though. |

Was a tough day. First time out since December and I did 61s but drove like a bag of crap - getting in the way, running wide on the tighter turns because the brakes were playing up really bad. I copped an official warning for doing a burnout towards the end of pit lane. |
|---|
I then forfeited my 2nd run because an orange Torana decided to continue spraying oil down on the racing line all the way around and on the warm up lap I could already feel my tyres wearing it. Smart guy, thanks for that. Did that plume of smoke surrounding your car early in the straight tell you anything?! Topped the day off with an unexplainable oil leak of my own and had to withdraw from the final run of the sprints and TopGear tomorrow.

Was a good smooth running day, the only complaint is they have too many cars in one group now but I guess its still better than having less cars and more groups otherwise we wont get 4 runs. We set a new PB today but yet so painful! 57.07 we so desperately wanted to join the 56 sec club... OH well next time |

Wasn't so great for me today. I had semi-slicks on the front and street tyres in the rear, so was battling an oversteering car all day which meant lots of fun but not very quick times. I will have to see if I can get some fresh semi-slicks for the next time I go out. |

I ran a new PB of 57.5 on the oldest set of semi's i had in the garage so still more in it, would also like to join the 56 sec club, may be on the 23rd, was a good day out just a few to many cars in the groups. |

And copped it in Turn 1 being in the next group  As for group size, I don't know, I'd prefer less cars and more groups - at least you have room to work and don't spend the whole session negotiating traffic.

On the plus side, I had a racing suit donated to me for free, and the car ran flawlessly. And yes that was me waving at you as I left Jamie  ROCK ON R~R Stalking !!!  Nice times guys  Would be interesting to hear what happened to FLEET's 300zx at the end of the day

Your just lucky those TE37's make you look sexy |

Hhahaha, shit yeah, we watched the footage last night, piss funny. Just the drivers side guard got damage, rest is all good. On a bad note, smashed the box, 6-speeds are shithouse. Still manage a 65 though so I won the bet notherless. I tell you what it's addictive, all I want to do now is put in a 5-speed and get straight back out there. |

You know running semi-slicks on your stock rims will help your times enormously  * looks at 57UNG ... * I can't help it I'm a bad influence

Thanks for the pic. I had an awesome day and set a new PB of 62.97. I don't think there's any more in it until I get a fresh set of tyres. |

Was a good day for my second sprint day, ran a 62.7 on street tyres. Federals up front and no names on the rear. Car was having a lot of problems so i can still see a 61 easily in reach on the street tyres once i fix a few problems. Once i get my 61 on street tyres, i'll look at slicks. Traffic was quite a problem. These days are gaining a lot of interest. |

Before too long, they will have to make it an all day event just to cope with all the cars that are now competing. |

I think the long break was/is the main issue. There hasn't been a session for two months, most people have tuned and tweaked something and eager to try it out, so they all converge on August. I was in the office at 10:15am registering and they'd closed all new entries - So basically it was full through pre-entries. Bring on September! ROCK ON R~R |
