Ok I decided, instead of sleeping, I can not sleep:

Sorry I went a little crazy with the pics

Hey Rob, thanks for posting up the pics. That wasn't one of my worst offs. I'll have to post the one that cost my my carbon lip that was.... exciting.

I can't sleep either, or at least can't stay asleep. I get to go back out today. Can't wait!

[rgb]

Bah so jealous Eric! Looks to be some great weather today too! Post pics of that RX7 tonight, if you have a change to bring out the camera that is.

[bored33]

Didn't realise how far ahead you got Rob on the way home!

So many cars pushed in between yourself and Eric. Bloody Canberra drivers.... *shakes fist*

Haha, yeah I kept going straight because I thought I still could see the xenon's 10-12 cars back.

[oweban]

I'm thinkin I wanna come to one of these at some stage... I wanna get my engine issues sorted first though (comp test to see if timing is out from the 100k service).

Looks good fun...

Getting your battery checked?

Could always tag along with one of us Owen!!

Wait till you see the on track video I got! I think you learn heaps at a track like this.

[oweban]

hmmm yeah... but as i said, engine issues fixed, then new brakes maybe? would LOVE one of those massive brake kits but sif be farked

48.4 on 2nd lap of the day semi dry track. Yeehaaa!

[jazzy_j]

Great day had by all. Huge thanks to the Exec. team for organising a fantastic day. Ran really smoothly and the friendly turn out just added to the fun.

The little Proton ran flawlessly all day and drove home with out a problem which was a bonus. The drive to work this morning was a little more interesting with the brakes obviously deciding that they'd done enough work and had gone on holidays so I should probably pick up some a new set.

Only issue I had all day was the wheel falling off jack as I was draging it across the carpark, but what can you expect from Super Cheap.

Hope everyone had as much fun as I did and I'll see you all at the next one.

Thought a carnage shot would be helpful right about now

48.35 thanks to Harry's lap timer

I didn't have much time to take pics but here are a few.

What GPS location did you use? Also, how to you define a track - either the interface has changed since I last did it, or the Alzheimer's is kicking in early...

Rob - nice photos!

Hey purchased the pro version friday night

turned up to track and it worked

Checked it by using it in 2 cars , 2 drivers

Made myself sick looking at the phone screen while passenger on track

Hope this helps

The run off real isn't a problem. In the areas there is very little, your car doesn't want to point in that direction if you do lose it, and due to the low speeds (I believe max speed I heard on the day was 130KM/H. Eric can confirm what he was getting down the straight in the GTR). If you do lose it, you don't get that far off the track (Unless you're Duncan and do it with WOT in 3rd with 400RWKW being let loose... And even then, it wasn't a big off)

The track is awesome as Duncan said. And we will be booking it again.

We had 3 cars who had issues with noises, and they all ended up being allowed to run, as the MDTC staff will help you to quieten it down, in quite a smart way.

In regards to booking again, we can basically pick a date that is more then 6 to 8 weeks away, and we can nearly be guaranteed to get it.

I got 135 by the end of the straight, High score?

Unedited, but there they are

[Aggroman]

damn that looks wet.. glad I had to work lol

Knowing me I would of had a real hard time trying to keep the arse of hte car in check

[hamiltonau]

nice video Matt, im guessing thats your avatar thats in the video? nice ride man, seem to know how to steer around there so im guessing it wasnt your first time on the track. Nice placement of the go pro too, suction cup to the inside of the window, wanted to do same myself but i think i would have had to flip the picture upside down in editing to make it watchable, did you have to do same?

[Pezhead]

gopro HD has a setting in the menu change "UP" to "UPD" and it will record upside down. Or you can use the software linked on their site to re-encode flipping without frame rate loss.

[Mosullivan]

Cheers pat

Just stuck it on the window with the suction cup mount, didn't have to do anything special.

Yeah, been there before, was only the second session of the day, so was still working out entry and exit points for the 34. it's tricky in the wet.
