[shepo]

What's the go with spectators? What time does track action start and is there an entry fee?

I'd love to come and have a run myself but I'm not ready yet. Nonetheless I'd like to come and meet some people.

It's free to come and watch, you might want to go out as a flaggie as you get a much better vantage point and potentially a free lunch.

First run is usually between 9-10am - although there will be a lot of cars to scrutineer so it may be later.

[ssxRicho]

ok people, the field is pretty much full.

the weather forecast is typical PI as this stage, cloud and passing showers.

should be a blast!

[BBGTR]

The event is now officially full. Amazing - last year they struggled to get entries to events, now each event this year has been a sell out - fantastic news for all concerned.

Also good to see a few cars being dusted off - especially Chris Thompson. Be interesting to see if the "plumber with dripping taps" theory applies here or if he has some secret squirrel mods going on. Purely for R&D purposes of course.

I convinced Chris to come on the weekend. Don't expect anything special from either of us though. We are just coming for a fun session and to do some laps.

Neither of us is really interested in going balaistic anymore. It's just nice to get out there and have a good time and PI is such and awesome fun place to drive around.

I can't wait

[scarface_au]

Damn, won't be able to make it after all. Have to work in the morning and won't be able to get out there til after 1 at best. I'll try to get time off for the next one.

Well he can fix my car when it breaks, it has been having too good a run. It's all got to come to an expensive end sooner or later...

Hey John, passing showers eh. You should photoshop your avatar so the red car sideways is the Lancer. I doubt I will be able to keep it in a straight line

Na see I'm bringing the recce car so I need a nav.

Something tells me, and I think I'm right on this one, that I will NEVER have such a capable recce car EVER again! We'll I'll be available on Sunday as Handbags got scared off by the noise limit (no way was Big Red going under 75 )

Did you end up comparing Rossarden videos?

[Snowman]

Haha - no I've never done it. The only Targa comparison I ever did was between me and Wooster on The Sideling (where our times were 1s different).

It would be like if I'd brought the camera to Lake Mountain the other week. It would have been interesting to compare mine and Matt Colemans Tour run to your EMO run.

And I have to say that the R36 is a MUCH more sensible recce car. The 35 is just too capable to get any feel at road speeds.

awesome.. scattered showers, isolated thunderstorms with hail. max 17.

yep, that's how it turned out. The hail occurred as I was exiting the sweeper onto the main straight with the wipers going full pelt and still not making much difference to visibility.

.

A good day tho' in any event. Looking forward to the next round.

Yeah, would have been good to see you guys on the track more. Was good to meet some of you nonetheless. See you next time.
