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...

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

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

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.

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.
