So how was Norwell, did they have the turntable running on the skidpan?
 
I'm glad I didn't commit to this, I didn't have my car back together until 10:45pm last nigh and the rear alignment is a little out of whack.  Hopefully there will be another day at Norwell later in the year.

AWESOME DAY! Second best track day I've ever been to (MTC2013 takes the cake), Norwell is a great circuit, lot more technical then I thought and certainly requires some brass bollocks on some corners. Dave, Dom and myself all competed and set some respectable times compared to some of the cars we were up against. Considering this was Downshifts first track day, it had a great atmosphere, DJ played all day, skid pan ran all day, good facilities, cruise session was nice to take passengers out for a tour and we only had a couple of cars go off the track for the day (including yours truly in the last session).
 
I'm keen for their next track day and will be waiting with cash in hand!
 
Anyway, here are some videos (Still uploading, so be patient if they don't load).

Would be great to have some more mr2's out on the track days, i know i am now hooked.

These cars can really hold their own, Aarons 1.077 sure proved that.

As far as the event went you would have had no idea it was their first event, was profesional and overalll a ton of fun. These guys put on more events and im in for sure.

Aww crap, next weekend is just too soon for me. Really want to use the red car on the next one. :(
 
And go the corolla, love the fact this little tiny 1980's corolla was able to make it round faster than a mil$ LFO. lol
