Forgive me for being very skeptical of this time.

When was it done?

In the 1991 Tooheys 1000 on the last run for the top 10 shoot-out Mark Skaife put in a sizzling lap of 2min 12.630secs in his GTR — the fastest ever lap by a touring car at Bathurst.

I have grave doubts that something putting out 230rwkw can get anywhere close to 10secs slower over that distance.

Consider that time was top ten shootout as well. Actual fastest race lap by Skafe that year was 2min 14.50secs in the GTR.

well there was definately no full track laps on the weekend. there must have been some misunderstanding about the times.

Ray did drive well though, and came away second in class which is a great result considering its an essentially stock car with a cage....he was even running on road tyres not semi slicks or slicks.

And the car is a beautifully turned out example too some pics to come but I havent got around to posting them yet

Thats the one:)  Clutch woes...i know the pain...a night of this has all but killed my 2,000km old clutch:

Not CLUTCH problems Roy, clutch PEDAL problems. It broke the 3 spot welds where the pedal pivot is welded to the plate that bolts to the firewall. Nothing that 10 or so cable ties couldn't fix. Finding the problem in the first place took some time though, it looked like a hydraulic leak at first glance. The clutch pedal went up and down, but the pivot fork didn't go in and out.

So I only got 2 runs on Saturday SoSK only got 3 runs, would have been much faster with 6 runs like the rest of the field. Plus I had no time to tune the set up, what it came off the trailer with was it.

Great weekend though, needed those Jacks on Saturday night to releave the back pain from lying upside down under the dash fixing the clutch pedal. That's motor racing:cheers:
