It is a fantastic little track car..... what tyres were you running on it at MTC?

I ran Federal 595 RSR's, 215 / 40 /17's all round. 

No wonder i was struggling to keep up in the twisty bits lol.
I didn't end up matching Robs best time, even with the Beams. I only managed a 1:19.8 on the last day :(

Walkfield is a small track. Tyres make a big difference! Better than horsepower. In and out of corners faster. Walkfield is a small track. Check Adrian's time with a NA.

Yeah, i know what Adrian did, i definetly need better tyres and suspension..... And a lot more skill lol.... I'm pretty happy with what i achieved at Wakefield Park for a first timer. I've only ever done one track day at Mallala before that, so I'm still learning the cars abilities, and my own.... I'm pretty sure the car is way in advance of me atm.
I wanted to do my first couple of track days with ordinary tyres to get a feel for things before i move onto better tyres, so i can properly appreciate the difference.

Excellence mind set Rick. If u can learn to drive the car to its limits on road tires first, u will be a much better confident driver when u are on better tyres in the future.
it was great seing both u & Rob battle it out on track too!

It'll be a while before i can afford new wheels and tyres anyway lol. MTC cost me nearly $2k all up to attend. If anyone needs a kidney i might have to sell one lol.

I've not long gone my 14th anniversary for my kidney transplant.. so used by date is nigh.. will keep you in mind. :)
