Lakeside Laps v.4 - 29 April 2012 (breakfast)

[THE_EGG]

Had a blast out there today, was good to blast around the track with a bit more power albeit on quite a greasey track. Was a bit scarey pulling over at the end and having steam pour out of my bonnet but it was just a cracked coolant hose, managed to limp home and now the golf is sitting in my garage feeling sorry for itself until I can source a replacement. Thanks again for organising these days clay!

Ohhhhh was that you in the grey golf? I was wondering what happened when i was going down the straight and you were doing like 60km/h :/ Hope it gets fixed soon.


Thank you soooo much for yet another happy laps Clay!

I will upload some vids and pics (courtesy of my dad) soon. No onboard video this time, my phone being taped to the headrest failed beyond imagination.

Thanks again Clay - I didn't think it was going to be on, so pleasantly surprised - had a great time - bit greasy out the back which made it interesting.

nah mate, i was in the black mk4 gti. i didnt even realise it happened until after we stopped and the steam started erupting from the bonnet. all good though should be too hard or expensive to fix.

Ah, must have been someone else then. You sure were rocketing past me on the track though Too fast for my little 1.6 haha.

Yeah what an awesome session out there. Fourth time out and I tell you what it was the most intimidating time as well!
Other times I've been out faster cars could overtake anywhere on the track but because of the weather I felt the pressure of being followed by fast cars that wouldn't pass me yikes lol

Stupidity at 1:18

The audio has been muted so as not to offend anyone with bad language from within my car

He did apologise but the outcome could have been very different.

My speedo shows about 100 and there was that Peugeot exiting, so I was cautious. Don't know what CW GTI was thinking???

well glad to hear it was sorted out, I would have needed clean undies after that

[Candy GTI]

Wow that was nuts didn't see that coming. Lucky you didn't hit that apex there or two cars would've been off the track!

I was the grey Golf slowing down on the straight. Was going slowly to cool down a bit as the front tyres seems hot. Saw in the mirror a group of cars coming up real fast so I pulled over to the right to get out of the way.

Thanks Clay for organizing. Had lots of fun!!

Oh haha that group of cars were probably stuck behind me haha. How did you know if they were hot? Tyre pressure monitor?

Had a great time! Thanks again Clay. Have to say it was a little intimidating seeing the m3 behind me everytime I looked in the rear view.

Mate, I do apologize once again for overtaking you far too soon just before the long straight. It was my mistake.

I was help up behind you for 2 laps.

I was frustrated having to slow down on the corners for 2 full laps being held up by your R on the corners & because of the no overtaking on the back track corners rule... and tried to overtake you on the straight twice up to 180km/h just before the kink. I am not sure if you saw me on the mirror though for the 2 laps..

I was hoping you let me pass on the straight so I could enjoy the corners instead of being held up for the third lap.. Sorry, it was indeed my mistake.

It was unintended mistake, that experience brought me back to the Happy Laps bad experience back in Feb when there was a Holden Ute that went so fast on the straight and would not let anyone pass him, but he held up 10 cars behind him on the corners.

I accept your apology.

My R is stock, and I pulled as far to the left as I could, so you should have passed on the straight as per the pre race instructions. I never got even close to 180k
