I got a 15second penalty on the back track for hitting cones, I think that would've cost me and apparently its a record for the biggest penalty on the Long wang. I messed up!

The skid pan was soo wet in the morning before it dried up, sort of like driving on a lake!!

I can't believe we still finished with such good results overall considering the weather in the morning.

That means Dane and I are 1 round each. Looks like the next one will be interesting!!

Wasnt a massively noticiable difference in the times between groups on the back track but there was a pretty big difference in times between groups on the skidpan.

For example between me and Scotsman -

Mines Datsun Run 1 -

Snowman - 43.12

Scotsman - 37.16

Schappy Run 1

Snowman - 37.28

Scotsman - 32.50

But...

LongWang Run 1

Snowman - 58.09

Scotsman - 59.13

Given that Chris should have killed me but we both ended up with 2 very bad runs where we both lost a lot of points so in the end it was very very close.

Infact just about everyone made a few mistakes this time - except for Christian in the forrester which is why he's finished in the top 10 (plus he drove that car well)

Also - we did use any results from the 2nd run of the Wang Busta because there was a significant number of cars that didnt get that run due to the storm.

Anyways - time for me to go find some dinner.

Juz - take that result out and the one where you stopped on the skidpan trying to restart the car and you'd have had a super result.

doh, my 2nd run on the wang busta was a good one

[paulr33]

are we still able to see the times even though they dont count? my 2nd run on the back track was my quicker one

*sorry misread*, thought you meant the backtrack runs (longwang)

That was while adam was driving. So he probably would've been a fair bit higher in the ranks.

[funkymonkey]

so dane beat juz over a technicality? weaksauce!

Although checkin out the results, I can't really give Adam (newton) shit for driving a girly car like I was at the start of the day.

w00t for lowest score and being the first ones home. We ran into the red MX5 on the way back as well, looking at the scores it looks like it suffered a similar predicament to us.

[matlowth]

Snowman - so does that equal first mean I get 3rd?

And that's a pretty amazing finish for first place considering!

Pete - when do we get to see vids - I can't wait!

^^was a really good effort considering the wetness in the morning and the lack of opportunity to get some heat in his tyres

Pretty happy with that for my first time out Didn't think I'd do that well, but I guess not hitting cones is the really important bit. Definitely plenty to work on for next one, and lots of room for improvement Will see if I can do some more skidpan work before the next deca. So much fun!!!

[GTRgeoff]

So close in the end. Nice one guys and well done to the big unit for a very consistent day, almost relegating Matt in the Rexie.
