    Re: Fantastic national day

    Had a REALLY great weekend!

    Track was a lot better than Mallory imo and also great venue. Think it is a step forward in terms of ND format and the issues / concerns raised around show and shine stuff is easy to resolve tbh.

    I think its a great bench mark to further tweak and improve for next year. For a small club it really was a great event, well done to all involved

    Caught up with most of the gang and spoke to a few new members, sun, cold beers, BBQ and track driving.......life is good

    Re: Fantastic national day

    Great day too, even tho I only managed 9 laps due to a caliper seal blowing out .

    However I had chance to take my friends Celica GT4 out for a few laps then went home and fetched my Subaru Legacy GT-B, I think I win "biggest barge" on track for that one !!! Problem is I now need 4 tyres and front break pads!!!

    Massive thanks from me

    Thanks Mart, shame I didn’t get a lot of track time – I’ve been meaning to sort that drive shaft out for a while now, shame it went at the weekend.

    I hope the people who got a few laps in the passenger seat in between the bodging to get back out enjoyed themselves! Brigsy’s better half was a scream… I was hanging the tail out round the little chicane for a laugh, and then once the tyres were warm we got on it, at that point (4 wheel drifting changing into 5th round the long wiggles after bouncing the limiter in 4th) she said, “I am smiling now – you can go faster if you like!” Mate – she is a mentalist !!! Sorry to those that I couldn’t take out due to defects…!

    ------------------

    1. So most importantly: a massive thank you to Steve, Dawno and the team for a great weekend, a credit to the club – BRAVO ZULU.

    2. I think the venue was excellent and good VFM. The track was a lot more technical than the bland oval at Mallory, but friendly enough for beginners and plenty of passing places. Personally I think the track was perfect for our FWD cars. Perhaps if they painted a few curbs red and white it would make people feel more of a sense of occasion… Just one thing – can we have something in the South West, 11 hours to get there was an EPIC!

    3. The atmosphere was great, one of the best RTOC events I have been to in years. Nice to put faces to names, meet lots of new people and to see some truly stunning cars and some big BHP turn up too!

    4. R/R for free is another great addition. (Shame they wouldn’t run mine though, I wasn’t changing the set up for a quick power run)…

    5. The competition area: I like the idea of all being able to vote, perhaps a flag/sign or ‘red tape’ area to mark out the cars being judged and set them apart would be good. I don’t think sour grapes afterwards is at all conducive to a low level club event judged by ‘volunteers’ who were doing their best in a limited time window.

    6. A massive thank you to the flying tent recovery party… just gutted I lost my loaf ! Not sure how it happened it was very well secured. I owe you all a beer!

    7. PS, loving Dale’s party bus you guys were cracking me up!

    yeah it was fixed in 3-4 hours, we leant him a few tools, he then returned the favour and helped with a couple of things on repairing the fire damage and head replacement

    Not sure if he made it or not.. He came over to me on the Sunday as we was leaving, he was having alternator charging problems.. A quick look under the bonnet revealed the connector of death was corroded, so I just pulled it apart and back together a few times and it done the trick..

    Was well cool of you Kris M to sort out the water pump

    Also nice to see bob from cgb arrived with some spares and a nice demo car. The rolling road for me was the highlight and nice to see it being used all day by most.
    Well done to all who organised it as it was a great weekend and I'm sure the antics will carry on through tonight.

    For all those who didn't come due to commitments you really missed out
    A2M
    Have we officially thanked Bob??

    Re: Fantastic national day

    I'd also like to say big thanks for this great event.
    I've driven more than 2.000kms to get there but it worth it.
    I've never ever seen that much GTT in one place.
    That track looked good, but I haven't driven on it.

    It was great to meet some of you personally.
    We could talk some words with the french guys also. Thanks for the help in the translation. I have to improve my french.
    I'd like to take part in their meeting next year.

    And big THX to Red October who has taken my turbo tu BluntyR5GTT.
