Whoever it was, that liner goes quite well

Were you in the silver 'line?

Well as soon as you get it I'll be dragging you with to the next event

Rules not to shabby...I couldn't make out what the old man was saying half the time so I just followed the others What I was following didn't seem too bad

I thoroughly enjoyed it...couple little jousts with the Supras - good fun! So who's up for Lakeside when the time comes? I hope mine and Nick's cars aren't too loud

Awesome day indeed! Thanks goes out to the organisers Survived another track day in the most slipperiest GTR in Australia haha

Sweet! Yes, I did see on the list.

There are too many Boz's lol...but I dare say my payment would have gone thru by now.

Hey Curious tho - XR8 on a skyline forum? How does this happen?

Bonjour peeps! Nick, no worries with all that happy laps stuff. The only reason why I got a bit wound up is because I paid that morning and then, 2hrs later, new rules were posted up that to me, were "new". But that's all sorted out now As for your car - why don't you and the wifey come to some sort of compromise? You have your toy and she has the family car? Any one who has a toy car should really have a daily anyway especially for when you want to work on the toy for a week or something. If you want a GTR then please do get one! You are getting older and so are the cars and we will definitely be the last generation to enjoy this era of Japanese muscle (and all that awesome muscle that came out worldwide in the 90's) If you left it for another 10 years could find yourself buying a 30 year old R32 with possibly close to 200k on it in need of full restoration (it's probably what I will have to do when I get mine eventually)....not to mention, god only knows what sort of ridiculous laws we'll have in Australia by then.

Yeh I'm getting keen I just had to drive at exactly that time when we had our 5min downpour in Toowoomba yesterday...so now she needs a wash before hand lol dammit

All depends on what one personally deems as fun mr Nick and what you're accustomed to hey? All a matter of preference really. For some people 120km is fast, for some it is ok and for others it's slow and not worth the money especially if you only just spent over 1 hour driving at 100-110kmh But in saying that and after talking to others I am OK with it, especially seeing that QR is nice to us - like you said. I've been thinking that I'll do the next Lakeside happy laps and then go to sprint days from then on instead (like I used to). QR's idea with the Happy Laps is that they give you a taste of track life....if you like it and want to go faster you do the sprint days and don't push the rules on a heap of Happy Laps sessions instead ...and besides, why would you if the Sprint Days are better value for money anyway? (a whole afternoon for about $100 or so from memory) So yeh guys....it's no biggie. Relax Nick, you're coming with me to sprint days when you get your Evo....it is the BEST way to have some fun!!

Sounds like fun

How'd ya manage that man? You going to upgrade them or just get some replacements? Yer I know man, shame. Would you come with on a lakeside one? This will probably be my last of the QR happy laps...I should reeeeealy be doing the sprints. 3 more sleeps man

Sooooooo.....peeps keen for Sat or what? lol

Well I'd be happy to go along still if it'll be fun like last time round. That last session really was an awesome event!

How come this wasn't put on the front page with the other rules? I guess this all rules out a little friendly strap on the straight?

Sooo in essence we're paying $50 to cruise around at 10km/h above highway speed limit for half an hour?

Payment made, $50 with reference "tommis85 HappyLaps"

Hey Michael, thanks for putting me down on the list - mind if I pay and sign the form again on the day like last time? Also, would my bro / non-member be able to come in his S13? Cheers

Any spots left? And would a certain Silvia be able to partake?

It must be man....because all jokes aside, it was freaky. I thought it was you for a sec lol Yep I run the Evo's on my 33 R and they're quite good...especially at around 33-34psi (tire pressure lol, not boost) They're definitely my best set of rubbers yet and they seem to also be lasting a lot longer than my old tires.

Nah man, he looked exactly like you lol, was even wearing thongs

Man there was a guy there who looked just like you...you don't have a brother or something who goes there? It was uncanny lol I plan on going down more often during the week man - I'll let ya know next time, sorry bud ...btw, wednesday's down there kick ass - not so packed out!

We all need to do a little cruise down to QR for the midweek sprints! There were some STUPIDLY fast skylines there yesterday running mid 50's! Chris, there were engine bays there that rivaled yours in cleanliness...on a track/street car
