Just got an email off the garage i'm picking my car up from this friday, he waited til 1820 last friday for me to pick up car

Oh well, 4 to go til i drive her again, it will be over a month

 

and the weather outlook for saturday: ****ty.

 

Shud be fun with 888's then, can't be worse than the 'ditch-finders' on my road wheels tho

 

looking forward to this saturday and seeing neilo doing some more offroading

 

anybody clapped eyes on a timetable for TA yet ?

 

Nope, but checked japfest website, and there is drifting demos, just to take up valuable track time

 

Hope everyone does well and has fun..... I will be viewing from the pitwall, so at least you will all be safe on track!

Regards,
Shaun.

It will be interesting to see how they manage this event, with all the normal track time, and the drift demos, one of my times clashes with the above format

 

thought they were using the National Circuit for TA and the remainder of GP cicuit i.e Melbourne loop for Japfest

 

this may all go the way of the pear then.....

 

Dunno. I know they are using the melbourne loop for a 'timed stage', quickest of the day wins, but i've paid for 3x20 minute track sessions, they haven't said its been cancelled or anything

 

At the Donnyshow early in the year they only used National Circuit and did "shows" on the Melbourne Loop section

Mine seem alright

11.42 we exit Pits

So at 11.50 and 15.50 - you'd better check your mirrors well boy

 

I always before overtaking slow Cars LOL

 

see you all there tomorrow weather isn't looking too bad, maybe a few showers in the afternoon

 

Just Checked on metcheck. no rain forecast. Damn

 

Slicks on then

 

Just got back.....

Don't know all the placings, but the PowerStation / Litchfield Type25 Race Car driven by Phil Keen has come 1st winning the overall Time Attack 2006 Pro title!

Congrates to Phil Keen for an excellent drive all season and to everyone at PowerStation / Litchfield Imports for creating such a competitive Subaru!

All the other Subaru's ran well as far as I know (apart from the odd one ) and did the marque proud..... roll on next year!

Regards,
Shaun.

 

Was good to see the lithcfield car do well, especially after the problems of Silverstone.

Shame that someone managed to get a place on the day, AND had never been to a previous event, and managed to have 2 goes in the final, because he was "held up" by Terry

Shaun, you looked as pi55ed off as i was about not being able to run, but for different reasons!

Roll on next year hey!

 

Glad to hear the PS / Litchfield car done well, congrats guys, you deserved it!!

as promised, a few pics from Saturday i'll post just the Subaru pics here and the rest somewhere else

 

Kev,

Awesome pics mate!!!

What camera you using?

Regards,
Shaun.

 

Canon 20D with 70-200 f2.8 L IS if that means anything to you

 

quality pics, very sharp, best i get with my digy camers is an empty track cos it takes about 1/2 a second to function, even wen i try tracking the object still pretty difficult, and defo nowhere near as good as these.

 

Dill, check out my thread in members gallery, got one of you

 

Kev where did you take that one of mine from?

Surprised you didnt catch some of my off roading
