Awesome track day guys! Well done to EVERYONE who helped out - it ran very very well.

Was awesome to finally get the race car out to my FAVOURITE place to race! Handled just as I expected and I had a blast.

Wouldn't mind a bit more power for the straights, but we make do with the best we have. :wink:

I'm with B1NZ on the 'gutted we couldn't be there for more of the weekend'.

Sounds like everyone had heaps of fun!

Anyway, thanks again for a brilliant day and keep on keeping on!!

Ditto to that!

Well done to Chelles for pulling off another successful track day, and to all of our helpers and marshal's who gave up their day to assist!

Although I did thoroughly enjoy Sat/Sun on the mountain as plain as everyone could see :lol:

Also cheers for the competitors for keeping their heads and having a blast without losing it! I was very impressed that everyone kept it on the track as much as they did.. I was expecting to be pulling a few more out of the gravel pits than I did, and to have no panel damage at the end of an event like that is fantastic!

Rhys may not entirely agree with that :wink:

At least he had already removed the left headlight before trying the tires :lol:

its actually not as bad as it first seemed. going to attack it with the hammer and dolly tonight but should pretty much come out pretty good, just cracked all my pain cause it was such a crap paint jpb with heaps of bog under everything.

paint comes off in flakes :lol:

Hi all,

Just a quick note to say a BIG thank you to Sam, Brad and Chelles (and anyone else who helped them) for organising the 2010 megameet

Although I'm only really "in to" cars by default

the weekend was great fun and it was nice to be able to put faces to names (both real names and forum ones). It was also lovely to meet and have a chat with other toyspeed member's ladies/girlfriends/wives/partners - the unspoken understanding of what it means to support/encourage loved ones is certainly something that goes beyond what car is the fastest, the prettiest, the most powerful, etc.

Looking forward to next year where hopefully, I get to play with the flags again and get a chance to go out on the track - not just as a marshal this time

:wink:

Hi All

Here are the results from Trackday. The first run is not recorded due to some techno difficulties.

I will be fine tuning the results over the next couple of evenings and emailing out the final results to all the competitors.

If you have any queries or concerns over the results please either email me or PM me.

Thanks a bunch
Chelles

Results here.

omg, seriously? :/ typical luck, the only race i ran and no times for it :/ oh well, was fun anyway!

by **Chelles** » Thu Oct 28, 2010 9:33 am

Yeah, there were a few issues. I apologise to anyone who has missed times.

by **cogent** » Thu Oct 28, 2010 9:35 am

oh yup, roughly 1.38 with the mx5, quite happy with that having not had it at manfield before. good starting point I think.

Far out my little car is slow on Tarmac, can we have a gravel track day next time please :-)

Nah... gravel isn't that much fun. We'll drop you off at the Kapiti dump and you can do the gravel circuit there
