Well Done Mike and Dunk,

Dunk how you managed to find time to write reports during the evening I will never know, I would have been knackered. It must have been the Adrenaline keeping you going. Thanks for sharing almost felt like we were there and some of the pics shows some serious commitment

It is a great event Logan but I was seriously down on power out there. Speed trap figures for me were amongst the lowest but was making time back up through the twisty sections - so was chatting in detail to Mark from Lateral Performance about what he can come up with Turbo wise to take me to 450bhp. This would at least put me in the ball park to play with some of the bigger boys down the straights.

The shopping list for the next mods has started

Yes, thats my only issue, I would be way off powerwise!! And I really don't want to have to mod it to that sort of power level!

Most of the runners in the Club Challenge are the happy side of 400bhp with maybe 7 or 8 over 500bhp and 4 or 5 over 600 bhp

Depending on the circuit though the power can be leveled through good driving but there is only so much you can do. Mike and I stripped seats out (inc passenger seat) to try and get weight down as much as possible to help.

Hmm, we shall see

I would love to beat a few higher horsepower cars, just to show the people that chuck cash at their cars thats power isn't everything

I think my main plan for next year is the AEMC Sprint championship, which doesn't really require much more spec for the car, going to try and get some coilovers in the winter, and maybe a slight turbo upgrade dependant on time/funds etc.
