Sorry Clay somethings come up and I can't make this one

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Thanks for letting me know mate.
At least we will have Sam to rep the red polo's.

Machine - don't forget to drain your engine oil, the added weight will slow you down

Lol. Good one. If you've been reading the engine break in thread, you'll know that my car eats oil so no worries there

Nah I hadn't read it. Oh well, tracking it will help bed the rings. My car had 14k on it before I tracked it, though I bought it with 12,500.

[Creampuff]

Haha I'll try, hope I don't slow too many people down; I haven't had a chance to get on a track before..
I guess I'll just try and keep up with whoever's in front of me


Car's all cleaned, fluids and tyre pressure's checked -- See you in the morning gents!

[Machine]

Sleep well, my friend. For tomorrow, is your initiation. WEDGIE!

[Stephen_AUS]

Is there room for another person at all ?

And lady Im still the only one - need more female rev heads

[Machine]

I agree. More females

[s4mmie]

Well that was fun
It was nice to put a few more faces to names.


It really shows how much driver experience and familiarity with the track makes a difference -- for instance, Sean was so much more confident and committed into the turns. I tried to follow along but I need heaps more practice

It took me a few laps to get familiar with the car. It's funny, you drive your car everyday but it's a different beast at speed.
My observation is that it felt.. squirmy. I think it may have something to do with the tyre pressures so I'll have a play for next time. Other than that it felt fairly planted, maybe a little light in the rear. I also need better brakes!
The whole time I had my missers voice in my head going "Don't break it..."

I was pleasantly surprised how nicely everyone played on the track. I did my best to wave the quicker cars through so I didn't hold anyone up.



Overall, I had fun

[Creampuff]

I also enjoyed myself.
The Jetta is definately different on the track!
I only want to change suspension, brakes and wheels..haha.
At least I beat all the other Jettas, I know,I know...I was the only one
Again thanks for the morning.

[mattatnoosa]

Thanks all for a great morning, some quick cars out there!

Can't wait to see some of the gopro footage that some cars had
