If this becomes an annual thing, I definitely won't let myself miss out again!

Thanks Dylan, I hope to see you and the guys there next time. Im still winding down from the last 8 weeks of madness preparing the car, the event, xmas and work. After discussions with Wakefield management yesterday they are already asking when the next one is. The answer will be given in the next few weeks so there is a lot more time to give notice so more can be part of MTC. Management at Wakefield Park commended the efforts of every driver at the track for providing an easy day for staff with no car requiring removal from sand traps, oil leaks or car crashes. All garages were left in a tidy state, the cabins were also well respected as was all the rules and regulations of Wakefield Park . So yes, it was a successful event with plenty of kudo's earned for our faternity provided by everyone who was there to make this possible. You all deserve a pat on the back as Wakefield Park management is more than happy to support the growth of MTC for years to come. Im not sure what the best part was as there was only good parts aside from the problems with my car which caused issues with organisation of MTC 2013. Major points were: Seeing the excitment of the people who experienced there first ever trackday. Ethan, Tri and Chris comes to mind. Brilliant effort guys with your driving skills, control and final results for the weekend. Dad was proud Ethan. Peter allowing me to drive his V6 SW20, Adrian for scaring the hell out of me then letting me drive his SW20 NA and Ian for allowing me to experience his SW20 NA. Thankyou guys and look forward to spending more time at the track in 2013. Paul Brell of Boss Tuning, sneaking up on me at 8am Monday! Was great to see he made the event providing support to many people up and down pit lane making the event a success. Thankyou Paul. James's MRS widebody. I would consider a swap! Love that car. Seeing Stuka again and enjoying a quality BBQ! Travis's jokes and endless support to everyone who asked. Seeing Andrew's "Pearl" circulate non stop for 2 days at a rapid rate. Watching the battle of the NA's with "Lewis" aka Adrian pipping his nemesis Ian, for the first time in there many years of battles. They were separated by one point in the final standings giving Lewis 2nd place. Thankyou guys for all your help with driver training. Aaron and the Adub, ten tenths, barely missed a session driving the wheels off his inovative, budget Adub racer. All the non MR2's/invitationals were all fantastic cars and drivers too provide a battle were they were separated by 2/100ths of a second in the full circuit round with completely different cars. Love to see this kind of competition. Having a track walk with my gf, Admin/Glenn and his good mate Stephen and son (who won the outright victory of MTC with a well prepared EVO) Glenns comment: " I have to take it easy or I will wear my tyres out due to too much track time". Taking Ethan for drive in the B24 SW20. Taking Ken for a drive too. Seeing three MRS's out on track. They belong on the track. The BBQ/drinking session/slideshow/party in the cabins over looking the track till 1am Tuesday morning with all the crew. Top night. Walking onto the cabins balcony to a view of the track, jumping the fence then walking accross the track to the pits to organise the days events. Seeing all the smiles from everyone when they were set up in their own garage for two days. The raffle! Thanks for the memories and look forward to the next one. Cheers Steve

Oh yeah, that car was smokin!!!!
LOL, oh yeah! More than once. Almost ended the day with a bang! The guys in timing said it did a 1.11 on the outlap then was held up by Luke when going for a quick lap. I should have backed off for more space on the outlap but thats part of a supersprint. The fabricator will see the car in a week or two. It will have all stainless lines fitted and a new dipstick body then back to the tuner to dial out the boost spike then I can run with some reliability and sadly, no more 'smokin joe' displays. Dont be disappointed, Im sure I will come up with something else.

Firstly I'd like to say a massive thank you to Steve for putting this on, you have organised a very memorable event hopefully will continue I am counting down the days till the next one :)
I had an absolute ball, was such a good experience being my first track day I didn't know what to expect but this exceeded all expectations Steve: your car is an absolute weapon even tho it was up and down the eventually down will be awsome to see it when all the kinks are sorted out :) thanks for taking me for a spin was great fun.
Dad was proud ahaha and so was the missus Got a few vids of me spinning out with the iPhone in the cabin pretty decent quality.. But I had a great time tri and I had a little standoff on the track as well ahah
But overall was quite happy I didn't break anything and my lap times improved I learnt quite a lot about my skills and how hard I can actually push that car of mine cannot wait to do it all again :)
Very well done Steve.

As said by everyone, thank you Steve for organising this event, and everyone who helped! Altho i wasnt driving, i had a great time, spending 2 days (well 3) days at a race track with such a great bunch of friends. Thank you to Travis and Ken for the ride up, Andrew for the ride back down, Andrew and Travis for the ride in the Pearl, Glenn for the HOT ride in the GT4 (did you find any finger nails i left embedded in your door handle?) Patrick for helping with scrutineering, driving me around and for the company, Tri and friend (Vincent?) for some laughs, well and the Chinese takeaway lady, Jason for the detour ride down to Pirtek and everyone else for providing the racing for me to watch. See you all next year!
