Hi Gus, are there any photos of car #68 red NA where it's NOT driving over ripple strips, sideways, crossed up or taking shortcuts across the infield?

I don't think lap times were the goal


Fastest of the day was George Vergotis in a turbo NA with 1:00.50!!!

Chris,
How long did it take for you and Nick to overcome mechanical sympathy?

That's a tough request, but I actually have a pic of Bryan's car in the pits.

Would love to see some my #68 ... preferably on two wheels!
Somehow you managed to attract Hochman's (the photographer) camera every time you drove past...

Unfortunately your two wheels action was not captured, but we've caught you on three wheels...

... and this is what happened next.

Hi Gus, any of #22 green NA? Won't be many...sadly I only managed 2 sessions before I started leaking coolant and decided to call it a day. Looks like the water pump or its seals...

Thanks for the organisors for putting on a great day. Even though I didn't get to drive this time around it was good fun watching the action from flag point no. 9; So much to see on that end of the track!
Oh, and that Mazda 2 crew... far out! Every time it came screeching and squawking up over the hill my heart skipped a beat and I lurched for the yellow flag (before seeing who it was) - every other car that made that much tyre noise as they came into view went spinning off on turn 10
I don't think I've ever seen a shopping trolley spend so much time on 3 wheels before
