A few of us went to a trackday hosted by the Variety Club today. Here are some of the pics I took:

After the first couple sessions I got into a groove and I had a blast... I have the bug again. :willy:

Also finally got a ride in ZEDohSIX's car (and he is a damn good peddler :v).

Anyway, here are the pics...

M3 CSL

I love the CSL's roof (carbon fiber) :v

The M5 eventually got out onto the cicuit, and after his second lap he had an off and could not restart the car

Too bad this never ran

Nice plate

The dark side came too ;41

What do you do when your Monaro won't get third? Drop the box and disassemble it in the pits of course!

Holden Monaro (aka Pontiac GTO) - this thing had an aftermarket cross ram intake, too bad the car was so heavy

The EVO again

The owner of the EVO had a sense of humor

The end

WHAT A GREAT LOOKING DAY
Geeeeeee i wish that i had the car on the road as i am so jealous that i couldnt get there.
great turn out with lots of vettes.
what a pity that i couldnt get a ride with shane in the Z06 because that thing would be orsom around Oran Park and yes VO he CAN drive.
BUT, now that i have started operation "asskicker" it will be worth it.

Here's some video of the day: look out for the thirsty horse and some comments from our fearless leader.

VO took me for a drive shortly after this and I have a healthy respect for how hard you guys muscle your cars around a track!

It was good fun!

150km = 91 laps = 30 passengers = 70litres BP98 = 47l/100km = 6mpg!

+1000 smiles

Priceless!

Z06 did all the driving in those videos. I was the first passenger in the video.

I didn't hook my camera up on the day, although now I wish I had. ;30

I only used half a tank (although I did fewer sessions) and timed my day really well in that something in my power steering let go on the way home. I saw light smoke (aka oil burning on exhaust) wafting up past the passenger window 5 minutes from home, then I felt my power steering come and go. By the time I got home it had well and truly gone and I was dripping oil up the driveway. Doh!

Aside from having to get under it to see what let go, I'm most frustrated that I couldn't try vacuum bleed the system after I got home as a test of sorts.
