great job as always to the willowbank staff and to the club for organizing this event...

each year is grows and from what i saw there were plenty of smiling faces...

it was nice of them to let me run against some cars again this year, its always fun...

the r35 was a solid run and so was the green stagea, you both were on my heels...

my best et of the day was a 10.910 @ 134.5mph

my best mph for the day was 10.923 @ 136.8mph

all in all i had 13 runs, all were between 10.9 & 11.2...

(except one 12 second run where i hit neutral at the 1/8th)

so very happy with the consistency...

even with the front wheel in the air I still ran 11.1 and 11.0...

it was tough to get the power down off the line, the bike would either skid (which is fun) or would lift the wheel (which is also fun) but neither are fast ways of getting down the strip...

next time im setting the tps to 100% and going for broke (9's here we come)...

That R35 was rad.

High 11s stock-lovely!

yep thats the one...

i saw him coming in from the left, knew it was gonna hit me so i tucked right in an turned my head to the right a little while looking down

then "bang" was like a stone into the top of the helmet

i didn't want him to hit the visor, i was afraid a bird would smash straight threw it and you cant stay up right if you cant see anything

Here are some photos and videos from the day

    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like  
    • A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.  
    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.
