Great work Lee, again... Keeping an eye on this thread... Well done people :clap:

[-alister]

yeah, they were in all same group and each individual group gets about 15mins on the track and rotates around.

Overall was a good day, thanks Trung for organizing it even though i wasn't tracking my car. Also thanks J for letting me be a passenger, wasn't expecting to be one! :D

Kenshin X has the best explanation of the difference between under-steer and over-steer, power and torque I have ever seen. lmao

This by far was my favourite sound of the day

I'll invest in a proper video camera one day, promise

First off, thanks to all the guys who made the trip; competitors and spectators. This track day has been one of the best track days I could have asked for with great company and weather to boot. For the most part, everything went smoothly albeit a few small issues but regardless the day progressed well and no one had any real major issues (except for Corolla Lee). The good thing about you Toyota guys' is the friendly competition and camaraderie that exists within the group. Some of us have never met as some guys are on the Corolla forums but we mixed well. An example would be Jay (Jskills) allowing Alister (friend who came to spectate) to ride shotgun in a session having never met each other before. And while I was tending to a few things, Casey was giving Lee a hand after his bingle with the photo hut.

At the end of the day, Anthony/Tony (MR2) said he had a great day and that we were a great bunch of guys, all level headed and very approachable; I have to commend you guys on that and helping each other out when/where you can. Keep up the good work and now onto the pics, gogogo!

[1stKill]

some new pics are up...more to follow :D

Great day guys, much better turnout in regards to Forum members, competiting or not. Thanks to all the club guys who made the effort to come spectate and support us. Meant a lot. Thanks to Trung aka Dorifto for organising the event and accomodation making sure we all had a place to sleep, and esp organising to have our own group even though a Falcon V8 joined us later??? WTF? lol.

I managed to squeeze another second off my PB in the first session for a 1.55.8650 on street tyres and no coils. RE001s, your days are over.

Big shoutout to Benji, *aurion reprezent* for doing so well [sTILL ROLLING ON STOCK HEIGHT!! BODYROLL BROTHERS FTW!] 1.53, i was very impressed indeed. Sorry you couldnt get a bay with us benji, next time head up with us the night before. B)

Big shoutout to Duy who smashed his PB by 3seconds for a 1.51 and Trung for getting a new PB of 1.47 *cornering with 3 wheels half in the air and whatnot* never seen anyone more stoked that day for gettin that PB. lol :D

Great to see pete and jay for giving it a go too. Good to see what the zres are capable of with coilovers. And pete aka Dwee managed a 1.55.7120 after Trung showed him how to improve his racing line.. NOoOOoOOO PETER BET ME!!! :(

Anyways, great day, great drive, great cars, great people, great track day.

[Kenshin X]

im semi retired now... although i think i can still improve my time with my current set up... lol... =]

here is the other actual video guys...(might wanna fast forward a bit)

Fastest Lap of 1:51.1160

enjoy!

[johnnieboi]

Damn, that was close at 12.45 Lucky you corrected, thats the worse thing to see coming around a corner, someone spun out facing you on track. Ekk!

Well put Johnnie! And for the record; my antics and shenanigans after getting my PB was/is a one-off occurence. It will never happen again 'cause I can't get close to my new PB. That 1.47 run was a one-off haha

[Kenshin X]

yeah u dont think when u drive... not in that situation. planned 3 steps ahead if the correction didn't work john. at the time i didn't know that he had actually hit the hut. i thought he was still ok and then i saw peter slow down and the red stop light flash. it wasn't until whitney told me after that i knew... :(

poor guy, he took it really well though... top bloke! ;)

i'll make a movie showing all the people who span out in my car and the close calls i've had and i'll post them online... my heart is still thumping after i see that section

[dorifto]

Any of my spins? I did a spectacular 360 lost midway into the sweeper; flying off the track and creating dust-mayhem! That's when Johnnie came to save the day, getting the stone out wedged between my semi and my Rota's haha! I love you bro :)
