Brilliant - count me in. Maybe Des could come over too and cut his teeth on a mainland track? What do you reckon Des?

Edit - we may even get a gas-powered Turbo R there to see what it can do....

Hahaha word. 50secs i'm guessing is a pretty crazy time!
The same dude in his 2001 corvette knocked out a 1m10 at wakefield.. bout 8-9secs quicker than me.. However, a mate of mine in a Nissan silvia s15 banged out a 1m09.. which is pretty quick.

Oran Park looks like a very 'hilly' track though!!! Lots of off-camber corners.... Gonna have to be carefull out there. Gonna weld the diff definitely before we hit it!!

My best lap of Silverstone was a 1 minute 50something second, as a passenger in a Pro-Sport 3000. And it was damp.
Huge fun.
I once did a 23+ minute lap around Silverstone G.P. circuit.
Yep, over 23 minutes, but it was on foot, running laps for a charity event.
It is a bloody long way round a 5km race track!

Oops, looks like 16th might be a problem here at GreaseMonkey House.
Every other Sunday in November booked for car stuff and I did promise SWMBO a family visit up the coast.
And the in-laws in Sydney.
Negotiations and calender fiddling did not acheive much last night.
