Hi Guys,

Did anyone on the forum attend last weekend's QRDC round at Lakeside and take photos of the Formula Vee racing? If so could they please contact me via email: editor@vwma.net.au with any images that you may have.

Cheers
Craig

More like turn-in, slide, photo, correct, photo, slide, guess the apex.

Had a great time. On Saturday I spent the time learning the car, the track and my rear view mirrors. I was fairly nervous. Finished the day with a best of 1.09 flat, but still 7 seconds off the pace. Car was sliding and hopping under power through the corners. I finished overall 13 out of 18 cars.

Sunday morning I spent an hour or so learning the finer points of re-adjusting the suspension, picking the brains of some veteran Vee drivers, stealing a few braking tips and generally getting the inside goss. Finished the day with a best of 1.06.42, and was running mid-field. I was also passing other Vees rather than being passed.

I'm stoked. I can actually drive the thing.
