The bloke in the newish M5 was one of the fastest in out group, had drilled M-Sport type
brake rotors on the back, that were as big as our bloody wheels!! God knows how big the front ones were, didn't get a look. He was a good steerer too.

Great to see You Guy's having Fun,

 

Especially the Wheel's leaving the ground, and the 6 Point Roll Cages.

 

 

and Wayne was clever letting his Own Tyres down, and Win the Race.  :spoton:

Big thanks Rally Red (Col)  and 2 Elc's (Wayne)  we had a top day.

 

Boys it's was Wayne birthday yesterday so give him a cheer, he cut some laps in the red car at the partners parade - well wayne was making it a bit more than a parade LOL 

 

the meeting was well run and would recommend any one who wanted to take a street er onto this type of event , the organizers are very helpful and doing laps with the Masters really helps get you settled.

 

If your keen then try it out and in reality you can stay away from most people in the even or they drive around you.

 

the day ran like this just for your info;

 

  • Newby in car with Master - ford territory - he drove the wheels off it showing us the lines and talking us through the track 
  • Master in your own car driving the track for 3 laps then swap and instructions 
  • newby take out own car in " newby regularity " only 6 cars 
  • partners parade 
  • newby qualifying 
  • newby let loose with the other general regularity and slotted in based on time in the grd 
  • newby in regularity again 

 

end of day newby content and tired - needs a frothy beer.

 

its a big day and a great little track for the little torana's  , we had a ball

Steve, good to catch up with you at the weekend, it's definitely a day worth the trip, we will see you next time.

 

Remember to keep the date of the final FoSC event for the year free
Sunday 16th November - Sydney Motorsport Park

 

Cool pics Col hope you gave Grant a run for his money lol

 

 

He couldn't gene, mines red it's faster straight up out of the box LOL

 

We both did very close times on the paper so  the cars lapped  around 1.13 ish per lap on average over the day  

 

Me an Col were just laughing all day having a ball  and we didn't see a 82911 number anywhere, or any finger pointers looking under the bonnets, , but we had the xu1  stickers on the  S pack car's  

 

I've never slid a car at full noise so often in my life, I still have a grin tonight

Ha , Steve, how funny was that !

 

that's the great part of regularity as you can have a car and also a time which is not at the pointy end and still come home with something !

 

i get bragging rights now

Was a second and 1/2 off andrew brodrick , which i'm stoked about. His motor cost more than my car LOL 

 

Cannot wait till the next one Steve.
