You must be stoked. Was it a cool trophy? Bet it's gone straight to the pool room. haha!

Thanks Mark

Karen did the footage, was wrapped to get the trophy - presentation was different, for a state series it was a walk by past the garage - congrats, there you go.

Other drivers and spectators were more excited, as me, when I actually realised I'd won.

Bathurst Regularity, Karen had a shocker!! Nominated 2.58's and basically straight off the batt 2.46's.

Thus putting her out of regularity - but had an absolute ball, the only downer for the weekend - we picked a cracked block on Wednesday night (oil in radiator), and the old girl (R33) couldn't quite cope for the whole weekend.

Had to retire lap 4 Saturday and missed Sundays run.

From the grin on Karen' face the first 2 days, I reckon I got a couple of years racing left yet, with the best pit crew and relief driver - bar none.

Cheers

Here's some pics of the AU and GTR from the last supersprint round at Eastern Creek.

Cheers

[GTR32G]

Wow what you buying a Formula 1 car? Best of luck with the venture

[evil_weevil]

wow!!!

something big is happening?!

[R32 Stuart]

Irace last Friday - 29th April, qualifed 1st then the rains came - my 1999 Dunlop wets weren't' so good in races 1 and 2 - put slicks on anyway for 3rd race and went 8 seconds a lap quicker on slicks in the wet - than the wets - the only downfall was had to start from pit row - but got 7th.

Once again I think most competitors had a good day - was a few issues and hold ups through the day due to wet weather and people mixing abilities and capabilites.

NSW Supersprint R3 Wakefield Park - frosty start, but session 2 started to see some good times by many. (Consistent low 1.01's finally returned in AU)

Session 4 the AU showed some good spirit and we joined the 60 second club - was pretty happy with this on 3 race old tyres, 15 degree day.

Did a 1.00.95 didn't bother with last session as there was an oil spill at turn 4.

Congrats to all, but special mention to Nismoman for a PB - good stuff.

Cheers

[nismoman]

Thanks Stuart! But congrats to you also new PB and fastest tin top of the day.

I'm stoked with my new PB of 1:05.42! Really pleased with the Silvia's pace at Wakefield. It's a favourite track of mine that's for sure.

Cheers

nice one nismoman! 1:05 is hauling arse mate. track is quicker since the improvements too I noticed. not sure how much though. maybe 0.5-1 sec?

[nismoman]

I'd say it's between 0.5 - 1 second quicker to the old old track.

The two recent changes I'm aware of:

1 - track resurface was carried out a while ago now (18mths ago?). It resulted in a quicker track probably close to a second faster.

2 - new ripple strips and curbing. This made it more difficult to jump the curbs so makes it slower again by maybe 0.5 sec

Plus I find Wakefield varies alot due to temperature and condition of track surface. Sometimes you can beat a PB by 0.5 sec, other times you struggle to match it.

The reason I'm going quicker is I added some aero pieces to my car, i.e. rear wing and front splitter/undertray. Plus Kumho V710 tyres which offer a bit more grip over the usual semi slick.

So far with these changes I've beaten my previous PB by 1.1 seconds at Wakefield and 2 seconds at Eastern Creek.

yeah I agree. about .5-1sec is what it felt like to me. it had been more than 18mth since I'd been there! car looks good.

Time flies!

I went there in Jan 2008 and it had *just* been resurfaced.

I can't believe its been over 3 years and I haven't made it back there.

Car's looking good nismoman. Nice time too!

[nismoman]

Time flies for sure. I haven't even gotten around to visiting circuits in other states so you are ahead of me there Harry.

My track exposure is limited to: Oran Park (RIP), EC and Wakie.

I'll have to save up some money and brownie points somehow and get my bum down to Phillip Island, Winton and Lakeside. QR dosen't really appeal to me.

Thanks for the compliments, the car has come a long way since 2008. Progress is slow but it's progress nonetheless.

New PB at EC yesterday: 1:44.19

And Stuart, sorry I temporarily hijacked your thread!

Congrats Mark another PB going well, Nick also pulled a blinder 1.37's in an evo.

Had car on standby - decided against - big night Saturday and wasn't happy with car prep - so we ventured back home

By all means hijack site - most news is good news.
