Worse for us.

I travelled for a total of 4 hours to and from the track, and only got 2 runs.

At least you has not so much travel and got 3 runs.

good photos guys. but leaves a few questions:

Did Adam hang onto the Escort, and straighten up?

How many times is Ray gonna leave the Skyline looking like that, before he learns that barriers are unforgiving? i was talking to him on the dummy grid at Teretonga last year for the V8 meeting, and asked if he was going to enter any clubsport events. he promptly told me that ' there are too many natural barriers on hillclimbs , and the car owes him too much to go bending it'. so he keeps the boot up it around the sweeper and sticks it in the wall!!

Id love to say Adam did pull that off, but unfortunately the rear was goin faster than the front!

Sh1t Ray is a crack up, start of the day he was tellin me bout his full rear cut grafted on after a ding at teratonga last year, then he crashed an said "this is nothin, teratonga was much worse!" Then he got a scrutineer over an said "Do we need a rear windscreen to race?" He was loadin it back on the trailer, takin it home to roughly fix it with his Massey Ferguson and be back the next day!!

PM'd.

Well Saturday was a nice day in the end, (I was a lucky one who did spin but not collect a haybale) but Sunday turned shithouse.

Like DRFTIN, I had a chance to have a run on Sunday before the weather got too too bad, and it was basically a case of keeping the car in a straight line, and avoiding too much understeer / oversteer (or was it the opposite for you Chris?)

Awesome event though, will be definetly there next year

Hehe...most people guess camaro or charger, thats why i put the hood emblem on. I guess people arn't used to seeing such big feet on the back of a japper!

Nice photo of your David and Goliath there too

Still find it funny how we were sitting there in the pit area between your KE25 and my Sentra and more people were taking photos of your Crown as they walked through... Takes the win for best tow car on the day...

DRFTIN · Post by **DRFTIN** » Wed May 17, 2006 1:51 pm

get any pics of me Phil?
car #1 silvia

the funny thing about sunday was that i dont think any of the cars that got a run hit anything at all, well i did touch the tyres on a hairpin, but didnt damage anything

Virtual Genocide · Post by **Virtual Genocide** » Wed May 17, 2006 6:09 pm

No sorry Chris, i didn't get any of yours.

Ran out of battery power towards the end of the day :cry:
