7th in the overglorified cressida on proper street tyres - invest in semis i think next time, chase that pesky Cass coupe down....

Oh thems fightin' words!

I'll have to do something drastic... Like enter with only 1/4 tank of fuel!

Yea, someone took a photo of my car. Just seems to blend in, bad for track days, good for the road.

[hamiltonau]

the rest of my runs that didnt get recorded sideways or upsidedown

seem to be losing time all over the course, need to grow a pair really..

[hamiltonau]

was that from when you ran straight through up the top?

(i think that was you)

just noticed this, your asking about the cone strike? it was the 3rd set of cones, the gap had widened enough to roll straight through over the day and on the last run i didnt back off, saw the cone lying there and figured it wouldnt hurt too much if i risked nudging it.

i figured wrong.

heres another vid

alex hall in his NA Supra, very quick for an untuned car and first time driver, as in first time in any event like this!

Long shot but did anyone happen to get any footage of my red 33 (besides Fatz filming my failing launch)

I think I might invest in one of those in car telemetric thingys, bunsuns footage looks cool.

[Manuel Kasko]

Alex was a crack up on his first run

Came hammering up to my corner and locked up the brakes slid straight through haha

Very quick for a NA

Also goes to show driver skill pays a 99% part in your numbers

yeah gotta admit, the kid is quick.

He is spitting chips that my go pro failed to work on the run where he spun out, i cant even imagine where you would have room to do that on this course but he managed it. I can only imagine someone failed to hit the record button correctly re the go pro one but i got a few of my considerably less dramatic runs with it, will upload soon.

im still looking for the pics of vids of me getting sideways, someone was recording/snapping up on the hill as i came around with some decent angle on one of those faster runs. Please whoever that was, share me the pics!

seriously though i have seen it done on here. anyone?

[Tyre Kicker]

My brother has the video of Alex spinning taking out all of the cones....was great.

i will get it from him as well as any other good stuff and post it,

guess im creating a you tube account then

[hamiltonau]

nice, do it! we would all love to see it, especially Alex, seems the boy has no shame.

and yes, Youtube it.

Sites ok except for the fact it kills any music i try and add to my videos..copyright farken!

I was thinking on the way home last night about another place I have been too in Sydney that is similar to this and it just came too me.

Has anybody been to the H.A.R.T driver training centre on Mona Vale Rd at st Ives??

It has a little track down the back similar to sutton (but without the jump) if Sutton ever becomes a non option maybe the nsw execs could sus out if st Ives is a viable option????

I'll post up a pic later

Here is the other place I was talking about earlier, dosent look as technical as Sutton but still could be fun. Dont get me wrong Sutton was a tops day out, just though it might help get more of the Sydney folks involved.

H.A.R.T Driver Training Centre, Mona Vale Rd, St Ives

Sutton

Sutton does look worth the drive down though dosent it

[KURTIS34]

Looks like you guys had a blast shame my car is apart would have loved to hit this up

I did try getting on there in the past and it was a no (cost vs what we get), but I'll try again soon. From what I've seen of it, it's nothing on Sutton, has WAY more trees on the side of the road and is shorter. Thanks though I will look into it again in the future, maybe as just a once off type thing

[DaveO74]

Yeah totally agree steveo no runoff at all, I came off in a work Hilux and ended up in the scrub lol.

Sutton would be first option every time. It is just another option if attendance becomes a major issue.

Did they ever give you a reason for not letting us on??

It is a Honda affiliated place so maybe cause we don't have vtec yo?

[N1GTR]

Well it's going back a long time and I cant remember 100%, but from memory it was along the lines of they didnt need the business and for the cost of us to hire and get insurance etc (basically all the expenses we would have to have in order to run the day to the level thats expected from SAUNSW) the price per driver entered was pretty high and it had a high amount of people to break even so basically it was too much risk for what looks to be a boring place in comparison to others available within a few hours drive

[N1GTR]

Thats not to say if it's doable now we wouldn't consider it. Hell, I'd like to give it a go once and I'm sure there's others in the same boat - even if it's pricey, just to say "yep done that".
