Sweet, the new Stagea hotness got in the video and a photo! Also, I found the problem on the day, why it was leaking oil and large metal fragments. I hate it when they leak large metal fragments... http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x289/Sp...09/PB302863.jpg http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x289/Sp...09/PB302864.jpg Good work on the pics and vids guys, turned out really well. Some great shots in there.

VR wagons are the new Stagea It threw one (possibly two) rods due to being on the rev limit for two sessions (about 6 laps haha) due to the auto gearbox having died. I don't think I got oil on the track. Tried hard not to.

Engine fail

me too mate!! Yeah we had a blast. Hope I didn't oil the track tho, took it to the grass as soon as I realised something was wrong.

The girls were doing the videoing and thought we were racing not trackday-ing and were being super smug so don't hate me all you skyline people we passed on the day! :P Engine failure vid still loading

Hi all, logged in to say thanks very much for organising this day. Myself and Hoonboy were the only showing from PF that I am aware of. We had a blast in the VR commodore SpeedWagon until the auto lost 3rd gear, then would randomly lose 2nd gear, resulting in random rev limiter action. We were having an absolute blast passing lots of Skylines in the mighty free wagon When the auto died mid lap I decided I wouldn't be kind to it and finish the session, but it popped on turn two so I took it straight to the grass. Hopefully I didn't drop any oil on the track. It restarted so I drove it as far as I could around the track on the grass until I got to the clay trap at suttons, and ran out of places to drive it. By then it was threatening to set itself on fire anyway. Up until then it went a lot better than we ever anticipated. Sorry to the guy in the black R31 who wanted me to pass at Suttons, I was having too much fun and hadn't realised I was sitting on your tail - didn't mean to seem like I was giving a hurry-along! I was happy to sit there til the straight. We threw the old nokia with racechrono in the car and managed to record a few times before it died. the second last lap before it popped and the gearbox randomly finding gears I stioll managed a flat 60 second lap, and Hoonboy did 1.07 minutes on the last wet lap, so we are still pretty stoked. The car was a freebie that was destined for scrap before I got hold of it so we threw the tyres from my VN club car (I still havent finished) and Hoonboy's seats and harnesses from his rolled dirt thrasher and managed two events before it died. I am uploading loads of pics and video (including the epic engine failure) so will put some links up when done. Thanks again! Was a good day, even if it was cut short for us. Jim
