Simply amazing - first time the car turns a wheel in anger and it eases into the 1:10's. Wow. You should go into the race car business 8) :mrgreen:

Bad luck TG - I'm sure you could've held your position.

Thanks to John on the flags, Jean at the grid, the timers and of course Mike who pulls it all together. Slow day for me personally. The weather just seemed to throw me out of sorts and I never really got a handle on things. Was probably too circumspect and tentantive.

Must get out more often....

Great to just get there with the rough tune and catch up with forum memebrs Sam and the vic crew..

Most were surprised when they blew past me on the straights, as was I, but like an idiot I had put on the old filter socks for the IRTB's which were by then firmly embedded in the intake, Thanks to those who helped me fish them out...Looking forward to September 's double header Supersprints and club meet

Best time was 4.5 seconds off PB but not for long :D

Just got home from NSW. I've been cruising all over the state on work in the 5 in the rain. Woohoo.

Wanted to say thanks to Mike and the NSW club for running another super event. Congratulations to the NSW competitors for taking out the trophy on home turf. Special well done to irwin83r and Charlie Brown for their great times.
Our guys did really well considering most of them were first timers there and except me, the ones that had been there had only done it in pouring rain. So super effort Vics.

I knocked a second off my pb. Think with better weather conditions I may have gone faster. Hardest compound, nearly bald Kumos in wet cold conditions just didn't cut it but we all had fun.

Looking forward to doing it all again next year in Vic. We might even do Sandown for something different. :mrgreen:

Thanks all

Sam

What! the STIG losses it twice, I wouldn't have beleived it untill I watch the video.

I can race for a year without turning the steering wheel as much as the Stig did in one lap!

GO THE STIG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Better watch out Russell, the next time you lend the STIG your car he will probably set a new lap recorded for Wakefield.
