Toyspeed

The Lancer left the ground many times on Saturday - many different combinations of 2 wheels - left, right, rear, front - all on a flat track.

Yeah, I'm going to try backwards drifting

That had crossed my mind. But not for long. I've even suggested Bid can do her knitting while watching but she's not enthusiatic.

I can't come, taking my wife out for her birthday.

A new site ... hmmmm

is toy_baru a rebadged al_baru?

Yes.

It was just as well Pete and I went because we got 1st equal for the HCCC Autocross Trophy.

Leon and Donna got many many prizes. Well done that man and woman.

[Edit due to my atrocious spelling.]

Yeah, I've done 2.
One because work paid for it and one to keep my wife company because she had to do it.
It's a slow course, but the ideas they teach are worth it.

A-frame's done and works. Put 5 litres of the best lawnmower gas in the Corolla. Charged up the battery. Straightened out the bonnet where the boy jumped off the tree onto it. Hotwired the ignition so turning the steering wheel doesn't kill the engine. Just need to pump up the tyres to make them ...

Me three. I'll sit next to you Pete.

I will be there in my rusty 'My other car is an STI' Corolla. The A-frame is taking shape nicely i.e. in the shape of the letter...

It's not a hard day on the cars, so see if you can hot-seat it in a kind and generous mate's car. Give him/her a dozen beer/bourbon/other.

Haven't built my a-frame yet to tow the Corolla so I will play in a non-Toyota.

Looking forward to the coaching. Those guys always have good advice, even ...

I'll be there.

After you learn that, you can teach me, Jedi Master.

My day went well, didn't break anything (obvious) and used 50 litres of avgas. Huge number of runs. Brakes didn't fade although the brain did. Tried to drive out of the hairpin in 4th (duh).

Great fun.

Money ... in my Christmas card ... to finance my car addiction
