PI track, great weather, what else can you ask for??? Was a recipe for fast times with the conditions, and there was a variety of cars in attendance, from street cars to full race cars, from Corona's to Porsche Turbo's it was there....
I guess it was a mixed bag of high's and low's regarding the SAU boys. Bad luck to Snowy and Anthony (Italiazr1), I guess Snowy was lucky to drive his car home where I think Anthony didn't get to do 1 lap.. And also to Matt (GTTR34) for intercooler pipe clamp issues, I'd like to see what the car can do with the new setup, CHEATER!!!
Well done to the Andrew's (BBGTR & Ferni), dipping into the 1:51's is certainly going quick and both PB's, I told you Ferni to BELIEVE in the car!!!!! You smashed your PB by 6 seconds!!!!
Huge congrats to Brisby, all that heartache and pain($ ) during the week to get the car to the track has definetly reaped its rewards, a PB of 1:52.000 is absolutely flying, long live the RB20!!!!! Another 1000th of a second and your in the 51's.... NOT BAD AT ALL!!!!
Also a worthy mention is Gareth, do you not fear for your life??? 1:52.2 on STREET TYRES!!! Dude, I'd like to see what you can do with semis....
And also congrats to the rest of the SAU boys that were there, Ant, your car looks tough!!!!
Big thanks must go to Aaron, for showing me the light, following him around really opened my eyes to what my car is capable of, the grip levels are phenomenal, especially on the fast corners, it was a matter of staying on the gas, turn the wheel and believe in the car. Scary but awesome feeling at the same time. I managed to beat my PB by 3 seconds... That was my high, but unfortunately there was a low.. Stretching out 4th on the straight on the first lap in the last session of the day, I went into fifth a little too quickly, and then, there was nothing. The car was free revving like it was in nuetral, went back into 4th and it was fine. Decided to stay out there as the rest of the gears were perfect, and managed a 1:49 with 4 gears.
So it looks like I need another gearbox or see if the boys at Racepace can repair/change 5th gear synchro...
And last but not least big thanks to Bec and Chris for marshalling duties, and West and other SAU members with flagging, did a great job out there and without people like you days like these wouldn't run as smoothly..
OK that's enough from me, I'll upload some video footage later....
