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 :wink: ... Chris and Nick were having a ball out there. :lol: Chris' best was 1:11.98 and Nick did a 1:13.50.

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? :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

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

Somehow you managed to attract Hochman's (the photographer) camera every time you drove past... :roll:

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 :lol:

I don't think I've ever seen a shopping trolley spend so much time on 3 wheels before :P
