Well Calder Park should be renamed to Carnage Park!

Was a shame to see 2 skylines did their motor...

a WRX smacked the wall the practice session, and an evo also dropped alot of oil and retired early.

Congrats to Adz in Big Red, last time I saw was a 1:01.... would have gone into the high 50's for sure.

John in his replacement skyline was driving well, last time i saw was 1:08 before I left - awesome effort for standard class!

And my time was crap, as I expected after 2 years with no track days... maybe if I lost 20kg I'd be faster lol. (more powaahh and no misfiring coilpacks would be nice too )

Good day! Managed a 1.13.06. Pretty happy with that. Definetly need more power down the straights, was good to keep up with a c63 AMG through the corner but would pull away heaps on the straight. Can't wait to get tyres though!! Biggest issue I have.

[emts]

Yeah good day think by every-one.

results:

took a second off my previous best.

lots more potential there just gotta get the balls to hit brakes harder and later!

Jake how did your car go? You were parked in the boon docks and I didn't get a chance to chat. Hope to see you at

Winton the car sounded good on track.

The other silver 33 gtst lost his turbo as well....So yet again the first shakedown for the year took its toll. Hope to see all back at the track soon!

Sunburn all round, nothing broken, faster time than last year. Good shakedown for the new shell.

Not sure how many more of these I can turn up to and just watch others having a ball! Surely I am not far away from getting the brakes and suspension all back on my car

i had a prick of a day. on my first fast lap on turn one my brakes failed. i didnt brake very late. started at the 300m make and still ended missing the turn. lucky they have abit of runoff room. front left bleed nipple was leaking and it was tight. so we pulled it out to see if it was damaged. but it looked good so we changed the nipple anyway and bled the brakes. it lasted a few more laps then started leaking again.

[ssxRicho]

ah crap, i saw it up on the jack at one stage. pain in the ass problem to have.

[HYPA33]

its not good when they are new AP racing calipers
