Yes, there was a bit of that. Nonetheless, everyone was still having a go, and there was quite a few first timers out there.

Highlight of the day was seeing the 350Z with the aston martinesque DAMD bodykit. This car looked the business! Lightweight wheels, semi slicks, enormous brakes, and it was a Turbo! Its at this point the car was sounded like a great track car... but...it was an auto.

I gave up on counting how many times the car spun off the track after the first half dozen off's. Three of which were on the same corner. :roll:

Right. You don't see many of them with the bottom row of fixed lights. Doesn't look too shabby though.
