Track day is sold out anyway.

Seriously considering coming to see some of this.

Friday would probably be my pick but I'm just so invaluable at my work that I don't know if I can weasel out of it.

I'd pick Saturday or Sunday! We hold Wakie days regularly... can see that anytime :P Airport runs will be something different and the show and shine will be huge! I'd rather see those two!

I'd love to go for a quick ride in your car off the track if you get a chance. Thinking of doing similar mods to my dad's (soon mine) 34

Passenger rides (if any allowed, they were thinking of one). Sure why not, I said I'd give you one.

Don't worry about the extra weight, the car is full weight, and weight slows you down and gives stability right? So it should help in all those corners. All those racers wasting time and effort. umm... thats physics right?

I've been in training for years to weigh the same as two people and have achieved the goal, so I am my own passenger!!

Wait... I confused myself :/

TL DR = fat kent

Aim is to have a single passenger session, as the last session of the day, that way all the good times have been laid down and drivers know the track (lots are interstate). Of course can't promise anything as it's weather & event dependant.

So you'll only be able to take out a single person, and it'll be @ 80% or you get black flagged etc, you come in that's your session over. Still more than enough to have fun with :)

No drifting this year, i do believe next year has that option being looked into however, among a couple of other things :thumbsup:

Last session, last SAU day, I knocked 0.5 sec off my time by taking it easy and chasing dinessi. So 80% can equal just as fast with no risk of coming off the track.

OK maybe learning to drive would help as well.

    • And at over $2 per litre I'm starting to consider setting up a corn mash still and converting over to alcohol and running mine on it !  Up side of that is it all doesn't have to go into the car ! Win win !
    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally.
