Hey Josh, you got away to-day before I could thank you for organizing the track day - thanks. A you say, it was a really good day - bad luck for those
who missed it!
Cheers, Greg
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

No my car is a daily driver runs fine and good fuel for every day
U CARNT have it both ways its either full on drags or circuit or Rally
hey is was heaps of fun to drive the other cars but there BOTh special purpose
Boris was driving miy car and i was following in his pissed myself laughing at my rear end going all over the place hes a good peddler
I HAVE TO DROP my car AT LEAST 1 MORE INCH at the rear
the acceleration in both cars was astouding to say the least especialy with short 2nd n 3rd gears on a tight track makes all the
difference
Gregs car had near bald formula Vee 2nd hand tyers on therear but still hung on when hot
Boris car had R6 race tyers better grip but different handeling in corners with K n L vs Ball joint a great experience to
test both cars with in ten minutes of each other
Greg takes corners differnt to the rest of us mind u he was heaps quicker I tried both lines but couldnt work out which was right
Steve C was doing the same lines as Greg and was doing equally in appearance in corners but Gregs car had more grunt and was a faster on
unofficial lap times from the HILL crowd
When i jumped rinto the other cars ( Boris n Gregs ) I had an unofficial 4 or 5 second a lap quicker time than in my own car
4 got to say Thanks to Josh for stiring us all up and getting us track side
Club Vee Dub will be organising a day later in the year after the VW Nats so think about coming along fora great day

Hi
I had great day, thanks to Josh for getting things started, thanks to everyone who turned up. We filled up at the local Marulan servo on the way down,
and then filled up again on the way back, we had done 104 ks.
I'm a bit busy now, but I will load photos and videos soon.

The last thing I remember you doing was going for a run as a passenger in a neat little blue car that went whoosh on gear changes  So how was it, you want one. Was a bloody nice car
I may have only been watching yesterday, but I had a bloody great day. Thanks everyone.

I noticed that in the photo to and I have had Greg trying to explain how the camber compensator works to stop this, but I just cant get my head around
it (me dumb).
Anyway, good work there Steve. I was holding off on my pissy mobile phone photos and I'm glad I did. Look forward to seeing your camera results
also.
