Wreck to Race.

[Peter Jones]

Good luck, Pete. Love the crazy eyes! hahahaha!

Yeah, I've got my very own little vinyl cutter. The headlight covers are different every time!

Must do some VW racing Decals for the trailer.

I should also dream up a team name one day. (Just to give me an excuse to make more stickers.)

Yep, made it back unscathed but a lot of people didn't today.

Got heaps of track time today. Heaps of people bailed out because of the weather.

Even though we had to break for an hour while we waited what would best be described as a squall to pass, I still managed to get in 6 runs. I left at 4:00 and could possibly have gotten another couple of runs in.

First run out was dry, but I was being super cautious and the wind was insane. The golf topped out at 112MPH (180km/h) due I'm sure to the 150Km/h tail wind pushing me down the straight. If the track had stayed dry I would have pushed for 200.

The fast 'n' furious brigade were out in force, Jim's mowing should get some of those Toyota Soarers, they seem to spend a lot of time cutting up grass.

Lot's of spins, lot's of slides. I had a few twitchy moments myself but I'm very impressed with the grip of the R888s even with the track under water.

First run - Two laps only race stopped early - Dry track

• 2.26.92
• 2.25.87

Second Run - Really, Really wet - Medium Rain

• 2.48.74
• 2.49.06
• 2.54.93

Third run - Not so wet - rain stopped - heavy traffic

• 2.47.72
• 2.48.10
• 2.42.64

Fourth run - Drying - No rain - heavy traffic

• 2.39.13
• 2.45.28
• 2.39.47

Fifth Run - Dryer - Patches of dry track - light traffic

• 2.40.94
• 2.37.92
• 2.34.20

Sixth Run - Track 70% dry now but traffic still very nervous

• 2.26.46
• 2.26.29
• 2.30.80

No Mechanical issues, car's back in street trim now.

Awesome fun as always.

Photo's to follow.

Great to see you had a good time, Pete.

[Peter Jones]

Meant to pop these up.

I attempted to load the white golf onto the trailer using the red golf to hold it down. (This was before I went to pick up the rental)

I think I just made a golf see-saw. I should have seen this coming.







The back wheels were right off the ground before i realised what was happening.

No harm done, just have to remember to put a jack under the back of the trailer before I do this.

(Please note: I didn't tow the trailer with the red golf! I only pushed it back a few metres after loading.)
