^hahaha love it! Is that Dudeman in the white SW20? Who is in the yellow one?
I just watched that vid about 10 times enjoying the 'drifting' by the yellow one, but I was so distracted by the yellow one that I initially failed to notice the hilarious fishtailing by the white one just in front!

ah thanks for that list Pat. i wonder who had a full tank or not.

Roll cages do that.......

Yeah i wonder if the car would have done a 1:10 without the cage and with full boost.... :(
 
Yes Rob thats Dudeman and the yellow one is Adrian from circuit club

Yep the yellow one is me. Was good fun screaming through the last corner, all the while with dudeman doing fishies in front of me. Would've been even better if I joined in with a tank slapper of my own haha.
 
All in all, a truly awesome event! Hats off to Steve for putting the show on. A very ambitious event indeed for someone who had never organised a track day before but you definitely pulled it off. I'm sure you learnt heaps from the experience so future events are only going to be better.
 
Was a pleasure to meet so many good people. Even the "cheaters" aka Evo drivers were top blokes. Very impressed with the first timers. Tri and Ethan went better than I did on my first go so I'm sure you'll be harassing Iain and myself in no time.
 
About the only complaint I have is that the most important photos of the event have not been uploaded yet (i.e. Tree getting punished by the Burger of Death).
 
Eagerly awaiting the next one...

Ha, it was an exciting moment. GT4 waved me through so I gave it a squirt to get past but then entered the corner way too fast, got on the brakes and had to start to turn...
Old semi slicks with unknown number of previous abusers then copped it as the rear came out to the left as I hit the fuel at about 0:16, then hektik drift for two seconds or so as the drift got wider and wider, which was all good and cool but a ripple strip was approaching with a rather solid looking pit land wall behind it.
 
So I did the mr2 no-no and backed off the power a bit too much, so it flicked back to the right pretty hard. But no brakes otherwise that would have completed the rotation and not given gt4 or adrian much room to move. The car pretty well much corrected itself after that - big thanks to East Coast Suspension for that one!! (and the two drivers behind me for being alert for the numpty ahead of them playing slip and slide) I did manage to go about face in that same spot, think Asimovy caught that one on MrPlows gocamerajobbythingy.
 
Fun fun, and no-one lost an eye!

Is the Pearl's interior striped?
 
Im surprised by the weights I thought all the sw20 would have been 1200kg+
Was the weights with or without driver?
2013/01/17 22:20:51
WIDEMR
All weights without drivers
 
Weights very depending on NA or turbo, hard top or targa ect
 
Pearl hasnt got much weight reduction yet, some interior stripped (ie carpet and sound deadening) but has much more then that of metal added for the roll cage
