Mondello 19/03/2012 Practice Day Afterthoughts

[DaveZigen]

Awesome day today everybody seemed to be flying and not too much carnage! Nice weather (although the wetting of the track makes it no odds) Felt sorry for the guys who had mechanical issues like Ste and Git but some nice cars on display on track and in the paddock. Great turnout!

What did everybody think!

[ste]

ah i had a shit day enjoyed my 3 laps forgot how fuckin borin it was just watchin lol...

dave the car looks cool really does, some cars today loved the sr20 impreza looks so weird drifting and the wheels on the jzx81 prob too wide to be drifting on...

some very good pilots i must say but also some near misses out there, 1 pro drift driver in particular overtaking mid drift in some ropey enough places on track puttin less experienced drivers under pressure but thats just my opinion

[podgedun]

Well I had an unbelievable fun, Car ran grand, blew off a boost pipe few times and power steerin belt came off but other than that was ok,

It was my first time drifting on a track but i was happy with it, I hit the tires a few times but i don mind body damage at all, Hope i didn get in too many ppls way,


Yeah ste i agree i see one pro driver pass me out while driftin and i thought he was gonna hit me,


Any one got any pictures???

Had a fairly eventful day now to say the least. Morning sesion was a disaster but after lunch the car was flying. Got a few good entries under the bridge at around 150k Plenty of good drivers there and sweet cars. Shame to see so many mechanical issues do. But i certainly enjoyed myself.

Podge were you driving the green 14?

Had a great morning today and feel alot better in the car now. The Maxsport tyres on the front made a massive difference. But after lunch the fuel situation got worse and worse, with power coming and going, even with a completely full tank, so just left it before damage was done. Hopefully its all right. Fairplay to Dave on the wall running, and great to see it click with him. Should be the end of the carnage hopefully!

And as ever a massive thanks to Dan Moorhead, Wes and all the WKD crew for all their amazing help. felt like pros with the cars arriving in the truck!

Should have some go pro footage too once Marty gets around to it. Pity for Ste and Chris...but atleast its better going now, than in practice at RD1.

Had an interesting afternoon with a couple of hairy moments, spins, avoidance techniques around random bodywork parts, and a having a dead car for a few minutes. I was rusty as fuck and the old confidence was low as fuck, but I was getting the hang of it again near the end, and just about nailed the big entry into Honda, which I will definitely get the next day.

Paul Murphy was flying, as was Dave Egan, Some pretty cool cars there today and this years PD looks like it'll be a good 'un. Roll on the next day.
