[Duncan]

unfortunately I can't do it either (need to do a track day).

but King Edward Park hillclimb is an absolute classic, and won't be long until its shut down. Enjoy it!

I have friends who live practically over the road from it and I can tell that the whole neighborhood absolutely hates it. I overheard someone saying they were going to throw some sand on the road so the cars crashed. I don't think they expected the response they got and I'm sure it's now only something they joke about.

[evil_weevil]

Yeah wasnt there a big crash there recently?

[d-d]

Hopefully if I get enough time I'll be there on Saturday.

So if you see a GTR pulling up to park around lunchtime - wave 'cause its me!

well done aza! good to hear it was just a bit of gutter rash.

The event was great, the speach at the begining of the day by the son of rajab mayor seemed very positive and i think the event might be here for another 50 years or so (it was the 50th year of running the event this year).

I had fun and enjoyed myself, great event to take family, friends along to as well as the better half half becase of the view of the beach and the relaxed environment, managed a best of 42.9 just not as quick as the gts4 (godzilla.....LOL @ guy on mic) but not too bad for the first time i have ever competed in the event.

Tyres become an issue as you just can't get enough heat into them in the short track, i think to get the best out of it you need to go to a softer compound something like the GGG's in the Toyo's.

aza - i hope u got your chair back, we left it with the officials tent in the pits, when we were packing up it was picked up in error and then when i looked in the back of the ute i noticed it.
