Love watching your progress John. Entertaining stuff.

[R32 Stuart]

Thanks for the luck Stuart

It all comes down to "show me the money" with what we will end up with.

There has been so much going on since Homebush, that it changes many times each day.

Alot of AWD's are faster in 2WD.........and that may mean allowing the Motec or whatever switching to FWD or RWD at various points on a track, depending on the circuit of course.

In Prod cars, alot of teams think FWD is faster in there AWD's.

Well lets hope we are both right , as we just acquired an ex SBR AU.

This year will be a bit quite - hope to catch up with you in the AU or the 33 thru the year.

At the moment Karen and I will be doing mixed events in both cars.

Cheers

Hi evil , First test at wakefield went ok ,only got about 21 lap myself all day , had some small issues, diff oil leak and a lazy shock - but ended up with a PB for car and self.

Less than a second off record, some decent tyres and a little bit of sorting - totally looking forward to some time in the car

Cheers

What times did you do?

[R32 Stuart]

Great to drive Boz

First go at proper thing, wasn't without its moments, some fresh tyres will be nice - and a few more laps, but was happy to delete Skyline PB times

What times did you do?

[LSX-438]

I'm pretty sure their website is out of date. They've run quicker than that.

58.4 here:

But i thought they had run a 57.xx at some point.

[Bozman1]

59.03 is the record.

Qualifying times never count for records, as it must be done during the race.

I don't think Stuart would have done sub 60's on his first go. I am guessing 63's?

Ahh ok, makes sense.

Then again i doubt Stuart was racing?

Anyway 58.4 for a qualifier and 59 flat racing, cool.

Hi Duncan

Heres a picture.

No - not racing, tyres are 2 years old, had suspension and wheel alignment issue now sorted - can't wait to give the 11 year old car another go

Cheers

[R32 Stuart]

Thanks Brian, your correct, will do some - should see you soon

Boz we did 63's first outing in the GTR R33 at Wakefield on AO50's - full trim and rego, why would you bother purchasing an old supercar to do the same.

59.03 is the record.
