Might as well stick up Gary's vids for him-

Last run on stone cold R888's-

Fastest run, done on Avon Wets on a drying track (not ideal, but not quite ready for full-slicks)-

I also did a side-by side comparison of Logan's fastest time (42.79), and Gary's fastest (44.21)

Lots of wheelspin for Logan off the line, leading into a lairy slide, meaning Gary reaches Hamilton first. Logan carries more speed though and closes into Oggies, where his Dunlop slicks and greater confidence give him the grip to stride ahead into the Firmans hairpin and through the last corner of Palmers.

There were quite a lot of recent tyre marks heading off into the grass - did many people go off?.

We'd just fitted two of Logan's new slicks ready to be scrubbed-in, before this came down-

Needless to say, they came back off and the wets went on! Chris had fun though- he only had his road tyres or full slicks, so did the whole afternoon, from fully wet to virtually dry, on the slicks. Only the two major incidents that I've already mentioned, the others were small spins/locked brakes/etc.

Haha, cheers Harry. Neither I or Gary were feeling it in the morning having only had 5 hours sleep, so apologies to anyone who came for a chat. :o

With all the tyre-changing malarky and multiple customers needing attention, it was all a bit :willy_nilly:.

5 hours kip?? Something tells me that wasn't COD induced sleep deprivation :)

Seriously though.........5 hours? Amazed you made it all and even more surprised that Gary managed any decent laps (must have been utterly knackered after the day's trials and tribulations).

We went down to Breckland Lodge after work to meet up with some of the fellow sprint runners for a drink (or 5 for Mr Hayward), and we didn't leave 'til around 1am when we grabbed some food on the way home.

Gary was not well that morning. :puke:

MoTeC = Australian, notice how the V8's speedo's are always displayed in KPH? ;)

They never provided the option in the software for the camera system, although it's been corrected in their new HD version. Gary will upgrade once they're sorted a few bugs.

:cool:
