A pleasure Kev.... Looks like it's a great day for everyone...

Hope a good one on Sunday too!

[resonance]

Yeah, thanks Rianto and Kev - had a great time. But gees I needed a good sleep after it, I was buggered!

I'm looking forward to seeing other pics and videos of the event, so I'll keep my eyes open for that.

Yay for Geocities ...

I had an awesome day today. What a change of focus. Instead of losing some traction and trying to get back on line and in control it was about losing traction and maintaining control and line. Totally different to anything I have done previously and eventually achieving a full lap sidways with minimal steering input was a true challenge and a real blast.

Kevin is an absolutely awesome controller of a car, demonstrated by by getting into a totally new machine time and again and throwing it around like he drives it everyday. I remain impressed as hell. Once I would have looked at this sort of thing and thought "you want to drive the car sideways...why?" The truth is, there are not always perfect conditions and this is without a doubt an essential skill...just hope I don't need to use it.

It was an awesum time on sunday and coz there were only 5 of us there we got a bit extra time than the saturday guys i think. And boy was i stuffed when i got home also, and boy was the car full of dirt also

I am just glad nothing on mine broke, coz that was the run in of my new turbo.

A couple of guys took some photos on sunday didnt they??

[Scotsman]

Damn, my electronic torque split controller just arrived.. I needed that on Friday not today. Anyway got the GTR in RWD ok and glad I did. Much more fun on the skidpan.

[Snowman]

Was good fun but my advice to anyone wanting to do this that has a 4wd - make it 2wd before you go because its damn hard otherwise!

Although you do get to learn just how much damn grip these GTR's have. OMG.

[Scotsman]

Agreed. Even in RWD there still is plenty of grip, but a good stamping on the gas overcomes that.

Snowman, How did you go with yours?

Just wanted to also say a quick thanks to Kev, your skill in getting into any car and making look like your own is trully admirable. I really enjoyed the day and thought that you had tons of patience especially for noobs like me... Ill try to stop saying sorry tho next time I spin out :Oops:

Rianto, your a legend indeed. That was some of the best fun Ive ever had in my car. Im sure that these are skills that will make me a safer driver on the road.

Enjoyed meeting everyone and seeing the beast aka E55 in action.
