Take my word for it, none of my times were based on anything loosely resembling driving skill! Just take the brain out was the way to go. And Timbo, I missed the first session (and instruction), when Rod TRASHED MY CAR!

When you told me that early this year - I was convinced that you had the first RX-8. Apparently it is not then

This discussion has got me reaching for the Prozac.

If all the leather packs weigh the same, if we all got similar driver training at the Nats and the extra 16.5kgs more than the pov pack accounts for 0.0000000001 secs per lap, does my time of mid 1:20s make me a fat bastard?

Do I need to join Jenny Craig before the next Nats to improve my time?

If 16kgs matters that much, don't worry about sticky tyres or sway bars - just go on a diet!
