Watching other people enjoy a track day is like being the designated driver on a big night out. Shit ain't cool.

Couldnt have said it better my self. I was up supporting my brother in his gold 180, was a really hot day so bailed after a couple hours; I'm soft.

Shame about the lack of cars actually driving though..... typical Skylines ;)

did you run andrew? i couldnt manage to get the day off:(

Yeah mate I managed a best of 1:28.01 in the end, but only realised after my tyres had gone to licorice that I had the windows down and the a/c cranking for that session (I only did 2 sessions, and only cos there were basically no other cars running). Still happy with that time!

had a ball today guys, great to have a chat with you all! didn't break anything out there although my CD player has mysteriously stopped working lol...

Shame i left so early, was just way too hot for me though!

My head is full of future mods now (oil cooler, 3076/ nistune yadayada) thanks for the motivation to throw more money at the car lol

had a great day out there, apart from the fuel filler cap deciding it didnt want to seal anymore, once that was sorted car was faultless all day. was really to hot out there, only would get a lap or 2 before tyres, oil and water all got a bit warm, even with all the preventative measures. Still managed mostly 1:24s for the day, will have to check the timer tomorrow when its not raining to see what was my fastest.

so over Christmas seems im working to buy some semis and some bigger/working brakes combo. ah well, the quest to go faster and faster continues

In the tab next to this one I have that set of Alcons I've been eying off for a couple weeks now. And in the tab next to that, tirerack.com.

This can only end badly.

Or well, depending on your perspective I guess.

was a great day

managed a best of 1m26.3s, pretty happy with that. 1 second off my previous best. and considering nothing changed on the car since last track day, appart from more worn tyres.

the safety car was annoying though! :D

it was frustrating to keep boiling the coolant, ah well at least i got a few hot laps before the beeps started

Best track day I've been to, sooo much track time haha.

Heat was causing alot of issues with tyre grip, my ass was getting a little loose out there >_<

Played around with a few things and managed a 1:19.1, looking forward to another sausa track day in 2012! :cheers:

It was an awesome track day. Pitty it was hot early on and than cooled down a bit for the afternoon sessions. Would have loved the cooler weather earlier on though.

Thanks heaps for getting the pads changed mate. Really appreciate the effort you put in. I should be able to change it now by myself. Well will give it a go and see how go. I don't even know the best time that I put down. Guess will have to wait till the spreadsheet with all the times come out :D

^^^ hey Krishy, PLEASE tell me you have the timers and beacon!

I grabbed the Box and put the timers in it,there are 7 timers. i havent had a look inside them though. I Did the last session by myself and when i came in not one person from SAU was at Mallala. So I just grabbed the timers, unsure of the beacon. I was using a different beacon that was placed on the start/finish line.
