dont get too caught up in the times boys. it's just a fun day out. no points, no trophy, no FTD to shoot for... but know this, unlike saturdays supersprint, passing is allowed where deemd safe (by the passing driver), so if you are coming to this day when you see someone faster coming up behind you, either let them past when safe, or be prepared for them to make a move on you. i was not pleased to be following some more powerfull (but slower) cars around for a whole lap of blue flags only to get to the straight and have them floor it. yes i can back off, but then likely to have more traffic coming up from behind and have this whole thing start again. that was my only real criticism of the day was that a number of people ignored blue flags, and did not seem to ever look in their mirrors. i know it's hard when you first start out on the track as you are trying to take in a lot at once, but this should be the first thing instructors teach you - be aware of other cars on the track.

I can only think of 2 occasions where Ando and i used the flag

.......over the course of the whole day........

Mainly cause theres no point blue flagging at turn 11 if your not allowed to pass on turn 12 :P

AHAHAHA yeah i would lean over to grab the blue flag... but ended up deciding as Steve said that not much point since no overtaking in turn 12. Also meant had to get my arse out of the chair lol :P

I think we waived the Red flag once & blue flag saw some action twice.... rest of the time we were pondering if Fatz was gonna loose it over the top corner of the 'Flip Flop'.... wheels either side of the ripple strip, was amusing to watch!!!

yeah fair call. but i was behind people (wont name and shame) and they were getting blue flags from the pit straight, turn 2, turn 4, turn 5 and cant specifically remeber the other turns. in the end i just made the pass where i could hoping they would be sensible enough not to turn in on me.

r32r, mate i was in the green group thinking it was intermediate... haha that was a wake up in a car lucky to be making 100rwkw with stock brakes (including fluid and pads) well stock everything really even stock boost.

pete, you looked hot, still a shame you were driving a pansys car. no more 31 means you will probably never pick up a chick again.

Yep - getting out of the seats - thats the REAL reason you didnt get a blue flag or meatballed Richo :)

Everytime i thought he was going to get it sideways then hit the sand trap. He was driving it like he had cops behind him. And had just robbed the VB brewery.

no need to run it in, just second hand motor. it's ready for burnouts right now.... !!!!!11111 now!

Yeah true true Richo, just also got to factor in cost of 5 stud conversion + spare set of 5 stud rims + decent 'track tyres' + track day costs. So its another biggish cost just after spending some decent dollars on the old girl.

I will get there eventually, just the wallet has been slapped around like Paul's arse during a driver's briefing........ :(

Now that was funny!!!!
