Hi Folks. As this is my first post I should start by saying I having never owned a MR2, let alone a Toyota. I did however attend the Trackday challenge in my Ford Focus. Apologies for muddying the waters on your day but I will say that will go down as the best track/hillclimb/combined event I have attended. Big thanks to the organisers for a great event. If you don't mind I will put a note in the calendar for next year (really hoping there will be one).
Paul.

Thankyou Paul,
 
I do encourage a degree of variety in the field which is always well received. Your car was beautifully presented and did garner plenty of interest. Wen something is confirmed, it will be announced via mr2australia

Thanks so much Steve. Once again i imagine this will be one of the highlights of my year.

There has to be another one. We cant stop now. What else do i have to look forward to haha.

From organising some of the smaller track stuff up here, it does get stressful with people not confirming if they are coming or not, but i think we have a large enough base of regulars to continue (i hope)

Thankyou Eric,
 
There is a lot of stress involved in many ways which will increase if management does not change or improve. The stress of running the day is good stress. Getting everyone across the line is not so much fun.
We will have a closer look in February. Glad you made it home ok and had a great time.

I hope she is. You'll never hear the end of it! Lol

Currently editing 40GB of video from Rick/Emma.
Unfortunately it's in a weird format from the JVC camera, so I've had to convert it all first :P

Due to how some of it was filmed, I will have to do some big blocks of video, and not just individual videos of people.

News on my car, it needs a rear sub chassis frame, spoiler and a paint job. I will be replacing the suspension with new coil overs and fixing the bump steer. I change the suspension as to Travis info on the forum. May also take of that big turbo replace it with gt28 which I already have.

That's great! I hope to see the new developments in action at MTC 2016!
I may also have a different turbo by then. My CT26 has been very good to me though

The current big Turbo is great for Mallala, as it a power and brake track, but at Wakefield track it is hard work, so if I come back with this motor I use gt28 on it which will bring on boost 2200rpm, have less power up top but better drive out of the corner, or i might go for a 2gr. If Some one buys my running gear.

If there is any good footage of my car, can I send you a usb stick to put all the raw footage on so I can edit my stuff myself?

We filmed the regularity session with your car in parts of it, and have your complete shootout lap.
If Aaron is running short on time then i'll see what i can manage. The JVC cameras do use a unique format, and our footage isnt exactly professional, but Emma did the best she could (she'd never videod anything before) considering she spent 2-3 hours each day standing out in the hot sun.
I can edit the footage into shorter segments if needed, but i'll need a bit of time as i'm back at work now :(

Cool. I can do all the converting etc as I'm a techie. Can I send you a usb stick? If OK, please pm me your address and I'll send it to you. Thanks!

Well.... after returning back from MTC this yr, I was sooooo depressed! Its amazing what track & times with great people does to someone :-)  So to help me get over it... I had to purchase something Ive always wanted.
Now I can run mad camber, flip & balance my tires whenever I want
