Great to see the S.A. guys are coming over. You will not be disappointed.
I have received two more local entries this week as well as the two interstate guys.

I have just spent some time sorting out a few items for the trackday. The info pack has been updated with adjustments to the schedule and clarification on a few other aspects of the two days.
After checking the entries so far there are 20 confirmed entries but still need a few more to make it work.
There are 10 modified street cars, 6 circuit cars and a few street class cars.
Unfortunately two have dropped out. One being the Supra and the other being his wife's AE86.
Still have a month before the event so hopefully we will see a few more come on board.

According to Natsoft, Adrian pulled a 1.11.183 in his stock engined N/a Saturday December 7. Sounds like he might be able to keep up with you in the corners. My guess is that Adrian likes his A050s

Haha I wish that was me! My brother and I had our transponders mixed up so my times come up under Ivan. 1'12.49 was the best of the day. I will get into the 11s sooner or later but not just yet. Sorry for the disappointment folks!

1.12.49 is still not a shabby time in an ageing NA. Cograts. How did you find the tyres?

" . . . How did you find the tyres?" Looked in the wheel arches, and there they were . . . Sorry, tried but couldn't resist.

Wow. Its 'great to have such magic powers. You could start a business looking at wheel arches and finding tyres. Much cheaper than the more traditional methodsof handing over hard earned cash. Can you do it by looking at images or do you have to see the actual vehicle concerned? Also are your powers tyre manufacturer and size specific or are they universal?

It's a pretty impressive time by Adrian but still only a second quicker than the times from his KU36's. Says a lot for the Kuhmo. Certainly will be the one to chase in the Modifed Street under 2.0ltr.
I expect it will be a lot quicker in January. I would have been there with my car but I had issues with the ECU. It will have a Haltec by Friday next week and two practice runs at Wakefield before the Trackday.
A friend is asking about coming along with his old Pug 205. Its pretty quick, 1.07 in testing last week, will do a 1.09 with semi's. Also does a great Greek BBQ.
As for the list, I will detail it later today. The cars are as follows:
SW20 : 10
AW11 : 5
MRS : 1
EVO : 3
370Z : 1
I have added Adrian, Ian and Ethan but yet to see their entries as yet. There is one car with two drivers. I have set it up so they both get the same amount of track time as everyone else.
Still waiting on a few maybe's and 6 from last year will not be there in 2014. Hopefully, 2015 will have everyone from 2013 and 2014 there.

Good luck with the new ECU Steve. Hopefully it solves all your problems. Great work Glenn. Let us know what times you get!
Tyres felt awesome. Really fun and forgiving. Grip was spectacular. Christian Hansen from Yokohama was also at the day doing pyro testing so I didn't have to spend all day figuring out optimal tyre pressures. Quick pyro reading and adjusted my pressures for even temperatures across the tyre.
Once I get used to these tyres they will be at least 1.5 secs faster than the kumhos. Still adjusting to the new grip and driving style required. Those last few track days in the kumhos I felt that I was squeezing every last bit out of them in each corner from braking through to exit. Not at that stage yet with the a050s.

On old Kumhos at the moment. Will try the new Hoosiers in the last session. I heat cycled them in the practice session.
