Thanks for the offer, but I was on a Flag Point around the back of the circuit for the event. A fair bit of excitement in the challenge mate :lol:

cheers guys, was great on the other side of the barriers, cant beat indy for your debut at national level in one way, but on the other hand its probably one of the hardest tracks to learn especially when i hadnt driven the car before.. the car i was driving is jason bargwannas (who owns the team) old car so its won lots and is straight.. no one expected me to finish anywhere higher then last so im in his good books by getting a top ten (and beating one of the other guys in the team). the category is so competetive it was a bit of a shock in practice but i found some pace and we did well.. the track is amazing, very very bumpy and the abs in the mini was working overtime which sounds like a good thing but its actually quite hard to stop a car on the limit with abs kicking back at you! looking foward to the rest of the season in the car and maybe next year :P its a great class.. the cars are quick too.. we were doing over 200 kmh down the straight.. then braking from past the 100 m board for turn one :lol: very impressed! bring on barbagallo!

Well done Sean.
It'll be good to watch your progress over the rest of the season and hopefully the next.
..And in Barg's team. Cool. I always cheer for Bargs.
