Huh?

Hardly ever went off the track compared to others. The dirt on my car was from the driveway.

Apart from my final laps i only actually went off the track once. There were beetles that went off more then buggies.

stop using the dirt as an excuse for your poor lap times :) maybe you should be out there to have some fun like everyone else and stop being one of those guys with such poor sportsmanship.

Had a great day on the track. Thanks to all the organisers and everyone who made the day possible.

I had a ball as a spectator on both days.
Anyone got a front sway bar?

vassy66T1 - August 1st, 2010 at 08:24 PM

I've got one I can lend you Dave. That would be entertaining!

thanx for your efforts both in the car and out

VDU.88A - August 4th, 2010 at 05:18 PM

Had a great 2 days racing. Had a few spins but managed not to hit anything. I think its time i stop thrashing my street car and build a real racer. Watch for number 54 next valla. A big thanks to the VRA guys to Jan and the other officials in the tower for the timing and behind the scenes work.
Thanks Luke for doing what you do to keep the event running smoothly over the 2 days

Will see what pics the missus got of the 2 days and post them up soon.

sander288 - August 4th, 2010 at 10:26 PM

Heres a few that I have, I have 114 of them so if you want some of your car I'll see if the Mrs took some
