^ ummmm...now is probably not the time to tell you that he didn't even scruntineer my car, look at my helmet, extinguisher or car in general. I literally drove past him (at about 7:15am mind you) got a sticker and continued on my way.

Change of subject, awesome day - Ash, thanks for the delicious BBQ, SAUVIC, thanks for the garage for chill times.

Yup they went through the cars a mate of mine was done for suction cup, I got told I had to remove my steering lock as my car isn't registered

Got told the same thing about my steering lock too

Thanks for the great pics Peter,

Excellent day even if I was way off my PB, plenty of cars turned out and lots of members too!

[acsplit]

I got the steering lock thing too... and that i need to have a key hanging out the boot lid....

just let it slide, if they actually stopped anyone racing then it night have been a different story.

From natsoft I can see 23 SAU vic members, do we have any other SAU members who put themselves down under another club?

[Roy]

Can't believe you guys find the time to drive your cars. I cant find enough time between drinking sessions to make it all the way to PI

[acsplit]

Troy we missed you, especially here....

Was great to see the guys from Heasman Steering NSW join us and the honorary mexican from WA Blaise.

And I will wait for Snowy to post his pictures

I just happened to be on PI for a holiday, early Saturday morning walks I bumped into the Heasman's crew and easily got talked into heading to the circuit to check things out.

Managed to meet a couple of SAU members, checked out the R33 GTR, R34 GTR, S13, S14, S15, R33 GTSt, Commodore, and the Ginetta (from a distance).

Today was a travel day to return home, pity I missed a chance to meet more SAU members. The Vic scene looks healthy, and people approachable for a yarn. Club motorsport is where it's at.

And I finally got to see why PI is raved about - I'd like to bring my car there for a run but it's a long drive from Qld. The only negative I found was the weather down in those latitudes is everything it's cracked up to be...

Just a few from today.. will post more tomorrow

And I will wait for Snowy to post his pictures

I've got about half an hour of video footage of you too from sitting up your ass all day.

Cracked a 1:58 on my last session too

Nice!

[Odium]

Evo Brake rotors are warped and shuddery when hot, Pads almost done...

And ABS kicking in constantly after I got some heat into the race spec nankang tyres

Either way, got a few sessions in because I decided to call it to preserve my daily, was good to see how it performed out there. Would be a monster on good tyres and some fresh rotors / pads Was a lot of fun wrestling with it during a 4 wheel slide

I didn't even get out of my car during scruitineering, rolled in... he opened the boot and closed it in 2 seconds, same with the bonnet, stuck a sticker on and off I went. Didn't even look at my fire extinguisher or helmet

Really good day and heaps of new people to talk to! Very positive to start to the SAUVic Motorsport Season

[llama_au]

I put myself under SAU and for some reason all of us with Victorian 86/BRZ Club membership have been put down as that club in Natsoft...

[Odium]

I walked into the office to sign in, and the girl saw my SAU Shirt and said "Damn, another one of you!!"... and the guy said to her in a loud whisper "Shhhhhh, they're funding the day!"

did lol

[blah_blah]

Only managed one or two sessions but car should be right for next time
