COMPETITION CORNER.....The inside line
Round One ..it can be honestly said that there were no losers, or all that who took to The Track to challenge themselves were the winners. After the first session the banter in pit lane was the usual, who could catch who, who was holding up who, what are your tyre pressures....how many clicks
Here is a brief run down on the day.
New Members
David Cromie, A new baby and a new car (Westfield SEI Black top ) a man who has his priorities right, for the family’s first track day was satisfying as times dropped at every session... the next family addition may be a tyre gauge ?
Steven & Kim Donka, Welcome back to Lakeside, this time with a Lotus Elise, complete with a spin at Karussell, Kim hope you caught that on film
Special Mentions
Fraser Clarke, Much to his father’s delight entered his own new car, a very rapid MX5, Fraser if a length of armco is worth $200 a panel , what’s the cost of a cubic metre of gravel ?....Mr Sandman ........106.33 sec for first time out, a great effort
The Usual Suspects
Tony Niven, A series One veteran, The Bluebird was able without drama or so it seemed, was able to lower his time to a PB......106.32 SEC
Mr. Fitzgerald, The rapid red rocket ship, Houston we have a problem, a minor electrical problem (we hope ) saw the rocket dropping cylinders before refusing the next round......Yet started without a problem at home later that night....They always hurt the ones they love
Frank ”Fangio” Liu , The return of the Yellow Peril, as is written, the long journey starts with the first lap & as Arnie quotes ...I will be back...
David ”Corpus” Christy, please replace divots on the following corners......Hungry, Easton Loop, The Kink, Karussell and The Bridge. Andrew we suggest your father (DNA check may be considered ) drive in daylight hours and local areas...eg..Gatton, Leyburn, etc
Bruce ”The Bronzed Aussie” Chamberlain, How many cars do l own ?, pulled a blinder in the last session in the last last lap to produce a PB ...103.71
Ross ”TT” Rundle, Apex, what’s an apex, is it like Rotary or Lions ( which males have on average sex five times a day ....thats real lions ).......I am confused.....Eric Blythe...please ...provide...counselling
Stuart Patterson, Mr 19x19, The quickest on track, the best news that the oil leak was on external liners and not internal
Until next track day, keep in the zone, Ross “TT” Rundle
