Yeah was a great day, thanks for organising it, and I'm sure it will be even better next time

[S13Deviat]

I was going for the 'most original way around the skid pan' award but got upstaged by a reversing a31

AHAHAH i really was having a shocker out there on the semis... but i was having fun most importantly... and yes the improvised reversing through the last few gates was a spur of the moment thing for a laugh!!! :laughing-smiley-014:

Great day and cant wait for the next one!

P.s. Waiting to see these times.... :sorcerer:

Big thanks to Adam, Corinne, Steve, Nick, Duncan, Kel, Nigel, Neil, Steve (doof), Shell, Georgie, Sh@un Ando and Chris and all the other volunteers who I have forgotton!

Thanks for all the help on the day, without you guys it would havent run as well!

Theres alot of room for improvement with running the day and this was a trial and error run, so we were pretty impressed, cant wait to use the big pan in the dry - the wet skidpan sucked on semi's.

I really enjoyed the back track

my 4 runs

1.49

1.43

1.42

1.40.??

anyone can steer an AWD car on a wet pan but the back track is where its at!

Big thanks again to everyone who supported and entered.

Haha Yup I drove to work through the city this morning with love hearts on my damm window no wonder I was getting weird looks. I totally forgot about them

I hope no one washed them off either otherwise I will be very angry and come stalk you and cover your windows in them. >.<

Well - what a great day!

My first time on a wet skid pan and I think I can safely claim the 'queen of understeer' title!!!

Had lots of fun - huge thanks to the organisers and volunteers, awesome job guys!

Was great to meet some of the ACT guys too - you guys rock! Look forward to seeing you at future events!

Bring on the next Texi!!! w00t!

Big thanks to all the people who helped organise the day both beforehand and during. Big thanks also to those kind people who came along to help out doing things in such ways as bbqing and especially the people out on the back track. That's a big effort and well appreciated. You guys will have priority entry to the next event.

[Bullet32]

Thanks LOTS to everyonr involved in making Sunday happen, had a GREAT day.

The back track was AWESOME, it reminds me of some of the "mountain" runs around the out skirts of the ACT... I managed a 1:43.8 in my R32 GTsT on street tyres which puts me up with most of the people using semi-slicks, so Im stoked.

The skid pan wasnt really a rush though cos Ive been on it about two dozen times before, but it was still good to watch others and have a laugh even though I didnt do very well myself.

Im glad that it was held out at Sutton, its only a 15 minute drive for me and I still had time to wash my car afterwards, sometimes its good to be a Canberran

Thanks again to all involved in organising the event and all who came along.

P.S. Im only fast on street tyres cos they're Federal's...... Buy Federal
