Even with all those cars PIARC still moved through the groups at a rapid pace.

Good to see everyone around.

I hate two moments during the day, which in the end damaged the front splitter.

This on I was a little disappointed about as it could have been avoided with a little more consideration from the other car.

Chris and I were just crusing around on a cool down waiting for a gap, then blamb!

Woweee

Looks he just got in front of you then smashed the brake pedal lol

The day was fantastic, well worth the drive from Geelong, what an eye opener it was, good to get an insight before completely jumping into the deep end, hope to be entered in round 3. I got some photos, nothing fancy just lots of skyrice

I had an alright day in the end with battling mechanical issues on the day but still managed to set a fairly respectable time of 1:56.6. Was slower than my PB but was still good to get back out there and have some fun.

Looking forward to Round 2 and hopefully the car will be sorted properly by then.

Damn that was a stupid move. What were they lapping at?

Gaad daaam ameriaaans.

I didn't do many laps, spent most of the time socialising.

The good lap that I did get in was a 1.44.4

Agreed... Totally stupid.

Was that Madden behind you as well Richo? Looks like he got put well out of place as well...

Could've easily been two cars fairly well destroyed because of nothing other than a total dick move.

Yeh Chris saw what was happening and bailed wide just in-case and went straight through the corner.

All the guy had to do was keep his inside line.

Hi all,

Thanks to everyone who helped put the day togethter.It was good to catch up with people I hadn't seen for ages and check out their new toys.

Had an awsome couple of days and got the car home in one piece which is always good, Thanks Chris and the boys at Racepace.Hope to get to the next one

and do it all again. Cheers.

[Snowman]

From natsoft I can see 23 SAU vic members, do we have any other SAU members who put themselves down under another club?

Yeah me!

I think I was in under PSCRV membership as I had that most handy at the time.

Sadly I didn't get a flying lap on Sunday (only Blaise got a session) but had a blast on Sat in the new little machine. Will be back out again soon.

[Snowman]

And I will wait for Snowy to post his pictures

I don't have any pics......

[acsplit]

Oh blaise must have them

[gtr jet]

Nice!

Really happy I missed this one!

[miniwog]

Really happy I missed this one!

Haha if it makes you feel any better John, I don't have any GoPro footage to rub it in! But I'm sure the other guys can make up for it

Actually I do! Damn GoPro battery died as I rounded the final corner on my next best lap (1:52.1504 vs 1:52.1412 so close enough!). A 51 seems so close...

[Borci88]

Very impressive Dave! I've got about 2 and a half times your power and am only managing 1.59s!
What's holding your phone to the dashboard btw?

[miniwog]

Well I've had a lot of practice, that was my 13th day at the Island in 1.5yrs

Google Nexus wireless charger. Nexus 5 has metal discs in the chassis and charger has the magnets. Hasn't moved in daily driving, reefton runs or track.
