How much did sponsorship save you do you think? 
 

Maybe a 1000 or so for this event the main sponsor is a multi event thing that will be continual for the rest of the year.

Known the business owners for a long time, spend a bit with them over the years and send lots of people their way. I was amazed by the support I've gotten considering everything that's been happening. 

For those that do the instagram thing can follow stuff over the weekend at robert_ponystumble

You're famous, spotted your car in the last sprint on Foxtel. Had a bit of a moment while your car was on screen. Commentators even requested a replay of it. Other than that little boo boo, car looked like it was going and handling great?

The foxtel coverage was great, did a slowmo yesterday that was cool. Yep overcooked it over taking a slow car and got on the power but had more grip than I thought. 

Weekend wrap........

That was EPIC

Started off Saturday just working up to a comfortable pace and ended up with a 1:31.4.  Lost a bit of brake pedal feel by the end of the 3rd session. Did a bolt check, bleed brakes and scuffed the brake pads at the end of the day. Todays first session car felt good and brakes were so much better did another 1:31.4 but car was breaking down under so pulled the spark plugs, gapped a new set down to. 6mm and drained the rad overflow back into the radiator. Was pretty confident as hadn't pushed hard yet. 5th and last session I knew I had a fair bit left in it so went hard and got a 1:28.936 which left me 2nd outright behind Paul Morris in the CAMARO. Car pulled like a freight train on the straights and brakes were really good. 

Car is in one piece but I think may have finally hurt the motor, blowing a bit of smoke and losing oil pressure. Learnt heaps and had so much fun. Will look at the car after Targa Great Barrier Reef next weekend. 

A few pics of the weekend

Nice work! 2nd outright is amazing!

Jumped the gun on that, turns out it's 4th ? 2 race drivers and a 500kw R32 gtr got me. 

Brakes worked really well. One of the commodore Ute's exploded a set of ebc yellows.

That's still very impressive! Great work also glad the Elig Pads are performing well! They do get s bit squealy when warm but it's that or non working EBC like brake pads lol

You'll probably be getting a few more enquiries about brake pads soon.... People were shocked I only had r33 calipers with good pads and fluid so many people didn't even think about getting at least good fluid before the event ?

Haven't checked the logs yet and engine builder will get it and diagnose. But it had seen limiter a bit through the stages and had a fuel problem earlier in the afternoon.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
