Gross generalisation. Besides, he would have taken us out if he was after the crew with the nicle and dime budget.

PS did we meet you on the weekend?

Oh okay cool. We had some great dices with you guys over the weekend. We were the fluro green one #22. Couldn't quite catch you in the first 5 lap race on Sunday morning. The lap times of the 2 cars were very similar. Look forward to racing against you again. You going to Phillip Island for the 1hr down there?

I wondered if there was a radar in pit lane, because I certainly couldn't see it, but sat on 40km\\h anyway. Wondered what happened to you guys.

Yes that MR2 can make itself very broad indeed. Once I shook him in my 5 lapper there was not enough laps to have a crack at passing you guys. Was very close on the last lap though and youbeat us by .5 of a second. Great fun.

When time and money permits, we are certainly keen to get back down there. Neither of us had dríven Eastern Creek before and loved it. Need to drive Oran Park and Wakefield next.

Cal...there was a guy with a radar gun at the end of pit lane...we did our change overs there and he was definately checking all the cars.

Those MR2s are really heavy...can give them a pretty good whack and they don't move...I know from previous experience,after about the third hit he got out of the way....unfortunately he was not too happy with me.

:oops:

Tom...thanks for the offer...all is going OK at the moment.

Hopefully the new car will be going by then...would be a good shakedown for it...

Have started a new thread about this.

Tom...I won't be at the QLD. 1 hour,if it was anywhere else I might think about it...QLD. raceway just does nothing for me. :roll:

Most of us up here agree, it's really a very boring track, especially after Eastern Creek.

On the up side, we get 25 odd MX5's in a race, so it's not all bad news. We'll come to a Wakefield if some of you guys come to a Morgan Park meeting. Knocks 2hrs off the trip from Sydney too. Only a lazy 10hrs for you now. :mrgreen:
