I don't know to be honest Leong - it will be an interesting learning curve and time spent with Jeff giving feedback on how I think the car 'feels' at track days. The existing shocks where a little tired and the car never really cornered that well, so will be interesting to see the difference. I felt really uncomfortable at the last NITT, and probably have enough laps at HD to mask some setup issues......

I'm just paying the bills and hoping for some improved track speed and a more B road compliant car.

(Tom?) - you might have to give us a run down so I can pretend to know what I am talking about, I imagine I will field a few queries from everyone. Quite a few of the Aussie 6GT3 guys where interested?

It will be interesting to see how competitive I am with Hermans problems all sorted now (fingers crossed). The lambda is good, I have two coils and the resonance flap working plus a cat delete. I'm looking at putting 993 coils in but that can wait until after the day. Dave might be a dark horse in the T and I imagine Pel is keen to slay a 964. All good stuff. I like Taupo. The Z221s will help in the infield and the extra power will take me down the straights. I'm. Hoping that's where the others will be kept at bay. If it rains I'll walk over the lot albeit I'd prefer a dry day.

Both cars should be fine to put in some good times (BYO race pads still, but even a ~$100 set of TRWs from Repco should last the distance based on previous form).

But I'm running the Grinch as I reckon it's only fair that I'm the one to give her a post-rallycross shakedown on her return to track. Both cars will be convoying to HD early tomorrow morning, with Neil in BB2 after our less frequent Team RSG drivers had waived their first options. Both of us yet to be confirmed of a place on one of the grids but fingers crossed as 2KCup always do their best to please. Missed Taupo so keen to scratch the itch again...

Just worked out what WOTY is so when's your next Trackday? You must be keen to get to one! Maybe the Taupo private hire? I'm in Sydney that weekend so shame I can't be there.
