yep was an eventful day, great weather, heaps of fast cars and no major problems..

Drmini had a funny oil pressure problem after a couple of laps, just play it safe and ended the racing early.

I had about 15 laps in the first session with a water hose rubbing on the exhaust and melting a hole in it. No problem just put another hose on it and off i went again. Got heaps of great incar footage as i and josh both had cameras setup.

There is a great 3-4 minutes on tape of my mini holding off Sorceress
boyfriends lancer EVO6, will get it up in the next few days.

Endned up doing about 50 laps on the day and didnt miss a beat. Was alot more adventurous this time with alot more late braking, and holding it flat the hole straight, close to 190kph :shock:

p.s dont ever race on a track with sime tyres, they are crap on the limit :evil:

I told you to get those other tyre/wheels brad and chuck them in to someone else's boot.

Good to see you had a good Brad and shame Dr did not get a good run.

Can't wait for some pic's and Vid's
Still waiting for the basher at the Karana also....Josh :twisted:
