Big weekend(7-8/5/05) at Morgan Park Super Sprints where Gary in his flying yellow DRB GT40 will need to pull out all stops to head off Stewy in the Gold DRB Cobra---and it could rain, to make things really interesting [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] | |

Thanks for your help and support at the weekend Pete [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
I've figured out how to beat Porsches (through psyc.)--simply, tell them what great competitors they are and how appealing their wives are--and they pack their bags and go home--brilliant [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]--nothing but clear air front and back for the rest of the event--last man standing wins!!
It is a bit lonely with no one to dice with , the next closest thing was an MX5 (Miata) turbo who crossed the line about half a lap behind then the big HP Mustangs,Camaro, Cobras Nissen Gtr etc [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
I feel the car is at It's peak now for power and handling ability. To pick up another 8 secs. per lap (to match our super V8s) would require an expenditure of at least $50000Au
--as it is I'm really happy [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] | |

Great news Chris. At last some luck going with you instead of against.
Any videos of you cruising round the track looking for competitors to play with? | |
