Bring a raincoat :(

Will be more drifting and more talent required, I think may only be light rain although hard to say at this point. Supposed to rain today and nothing yet.

I have R34 GTR rims and wet tyres ready.

Everytime I turn around, your boat turns more and more into a GTR :(

I'll be out there for a sticky beak if it isn't pouring down...

Boat should suit the rain but not 4WD and yes recently contemplated and researched posibility in turning it into 4WD with GTR running gear front, got the R32 GTR Nismo rear diff in it now. If it does rain the GTR's should do well.

don't speak that way about the 31 mate.

at least it didn't end up like the poor blokes holden. BIG blow-up. that was terminal for sure.

I must say Neil has the right idea and a top woman. he was sitting in the passenger seat on the way home enjoying a little refreshment whils his missus drove + towed the car home. nice. she's a keeper mate.

certainly some nice cars out and some good weather too (albeit a bit cold and windy).

yeah I was stoked with the day, finally got some good laps on the car. Its a shame there were some blow ups, and GTR Jason had some bad luck (competing with Roy for biggest fire in an R32 apparently)

Pretty sure Jason took at quickest lap on the day, so John's boat missed out again :P

yeeha! I didn't know Jason went quicker than little Johnny. noice one. you could say he had a victory fire.

good to see your mean machine out there mate. The GTR ran like clock work. Neil's car certainly seemed to be going well too.

that holden certainly did put on a smoke show, and not of the good (burnout) kind.

It was an awesome day - great fun and lots of entertainment.

How many GTR owners competiting for the fastest times were running slicks? I noticed Johns car was :) Although I don't blame him, with that kinda power, damn it was twitcy coming onto the main straight under power.. you got closer and closer to that wall I swear.. !!

Which commodore blew up? The VL, or? I left during the last session, did it happen then?

Defintely a shame about the blow ups of the day... that fire was the worst, I was right near the car at the time but didn't scream down to the pits to get a fire extuingsher when it pulled in, as (like the +30 people around me) figured he would have had one in the car. At least it was only a power steering pump failure, but I hate to wonder how much damage that fire caused to other components. Either way, that car was awesome... anyone else see the way it came onto the main straight? Loved it :P

Duncan: was your GTR the one with the plastic rear window? hehe

What happened to your car 88silhouette? :) I was going to get some good photos to make up for the last time, but after the first lap you disappered. I did get one shot though, which i'll email to you tomorrow... :)

Either way, great day from a spectator perspective. Defintely not a day i'd go onto the track for the first time at, but great to see tough cars being hammered. I got a few shots of other cars which i'll post up later on...

Cheers,

Tommo.

highlight of the day would have to be watching that guy drive the ring off that old mazda 323 ,specially into turn one neally took a car out out on a number of occasions lol .

See the chronic understeer he got from the front left? Classic stuff!

And the blue S14 which locked up the rear right a few too many times.. then everytime it drove past, sounds like "donk donk donk" as you can hear the flatspots complaining :P
