haha yep...I was complaining because my lap timer showed 1.07.00...wished I had cracked the 1.06s. Turns out natsoft says I did.....if it's on the internet it must be true I am stoked with that time it is a fair bit quicker than my last best.....those Federal FZ201 are a good thing

Thanks to Steve and Shell for standing at the flag point all day, and to Aggrodave for organising all the entrants.

Very sorry to see what happened to Eric's car, and I hope both you and Reece pull up OK. That was by far the worst incident I have seen at one of our track days - I hope everything is sorted out at minimal cost

HAD HEAPS OF FUN GUYS , Thanks to the organizers Steve, dave, shell and the like . Everyone was friendly and had a great time at my first day.

First track day EVER mind you guys and i almost never drive my skyline :'( due to license issues... Anyway i was such a NOOB... Thanks to duncan Riece and ben for all your help you guys were great ... Still gonna have nightmares duncan dam you!.

I pulled a 1.28 at the beg of day on street tyres ended up shaving 5 seconds off that at a 1.23 personal best :D. Next time im hoping to hit 1.15...

PS: Good luck Eric man hope you get some kind of pay from that bloke... If it doesn't happen theirs always the bat and half cut option ^.^

Cheers

Great to meet up with Dave > then Dean 'n Jeremy > BenM who talked me thru' the circuit > great buzz.

Then there's Sid (Yay), Steve-0, Mark, Patrick, Brian, Neil, Nick, Shell, Eric, Duncan, Ben, Buz, Matt, Kory, Matt, and others that are testing my premature dementia who offered support eh?

If you Eric can PM me with the dialogue between you and that jerk driving Dan Mackie's car > I'd like to make contact with Simon Mackie, Dan's dad and see if some moral backbone can spike that dude's conscience!

I've received heresay reports only, and I don't want to act on those alone.

[Shell]

Next time I'm come to the pub with you Sid

[Risking]

Rekon the circuit is actually quicker after the entry & exit changes Duncan / Neil?

[Aggroman]

Thanks to Eric and Don/Mal from renew for helping with scruitineering.. still not sure how i got stuck with it but oh well.

[sycorb]

[sycorb]

whats a fast gtr with street tyres do around wakefeild need a time to aim for

[Chris-06R]

Hey guys,

After running the last few SAU days I decided to give this one a miss, but still drove down to give the new Skyline a run and take some pics. Enjoy!

[AndyMac]

Wakefield's general rule is anything below 1.10 is a good time, below 1.08 is getting fast and below 1.05 is serious.

[gregor]

Had a great day out and cant wait for the next one. Did a 1:17.1 so thats ok,but still lots of room to improve. Bring on May!

We'll look at class points shortly and let everyone know.

Shell: I'm not sure if you have spoken to eric about a couple of those shots in your facebook link but if he isnt aware of them it's probably not a good idea to post them. Depends on how he is handling it i guess.

Would be nice if old mate in the 300 offered to replace the fire extinguishers another bloke and I emptied under his bonnet. His car would have been in an even worse state without it.

[gregor]

Unless you have spoken to the driver involved it's pretty poor form to post pics of an incident.

[Shell]

Shell: I'm not sure if you have spoken to eric about a couple of those shots in your facebook link but if he isnt aware of them it's probably not a good idea to post them. Depends on how he is handling it i guess.

Eric's a friend in person and also on my facebook so if he has a problem with the couple of pics on the flatbed, I'm sure he'll tell me

[gregor]

I dont really know him just looking out for him - he seems like a good guy. Speaking vaugely about something is one thing but pics become a massive issue if insurance gets involved and if a bunch of people are posting them up it can have consequences

The whole incident happened right in front of me and im still struggling to work out how he got it so wrong.

[Chris-06R]

Unless you have spoken to the driver involved it's pretty poor form to post pics of an incident.

Not sure if that was aimed at me, but it was a public event at a public racetrack and sh!t happens. But removed it out of courtesy anyway...
