Wakefield 31/5

G'day chaps went to the track today and had a blast

Always great to meet fellow car nuts, no egos. It simply peeps who want to run their cars (I know too many )

Fun fun fun!

My only comment apart from a great day is to say you must be prepared!

Check check and check!

There were poobs, nsx's and bmw's and all sorts.

It was a hoot!

Maybe you should listen to your wife and stay clear of the track for a while.

I was still warming up my tires while Pavo was giving me a hard time in this clip.
This view is from Paul's car.

This clip is from my car. First time at Wakefield Race track and Paul was giving me a hard time so I let him past.
I let him pull ahead around the bends cause he knew what my car was capable of on the straight.

Nah Paul thats just showing how bad your car has body roll. Get some decent suspension. See its ok on my car cause my roof can flex with the corners hence why my car was quicker.

Not from me lusty. I ran the first two sessions without meth at around 15psi then last two sessions with meth at around 16.5psi. Oil temps hit a max of 128 degrees. It was effing freezing out there though. Ideal conditions IMO.

Those poor bolts were trying to get the hell away from you just like that EVO. Don't blame them.

I think that EVO driver was severely stoned or something wasn't right about him However he did throw that Mitsu around like a rag doll.

if you had of seen him as we were driving past hoxton park, i think you may have soiled your panties

I think you are right he definately wasn't the full monty thats for sure. You might be on to something with the bolts though, when he was chasing me brake drifting sideways they might have though SHIT lets split before he hits us

Come to think of it that definitely wasn't a safe situation having that guy in that state driving that way so close to you.
Next time we are gonna suss all the drivers out prior to putting everything on the line at the track.

I guess it helps having someone up your ass.
You were definitely faster than me around that track. How about that drag race we had on the way to the track from 100-220k/phr. What was the outcome again??? :
