OT - My Philip Island foray
Finally got my act together and learnt a new thing...uploaded a video onto U tube....my Philip Island foray....yes it was fun and yes it's a piston engine but hey I hope you like it!
Speeds - Main straight - 205kph....first corner......200kph.....amount spent to do the day $180 = PRICELESS!!!

Julia, nice vid.
In the video, just before the last right hand corner there is a off camber left! Do you find if you come wide (and not turn in early) that the sudden oversteer would not have come?
Just a thought, coz I saw the other car does that....
Good drive

I think I know the corner you are talking about.. and yes I take that line to control the car...with a CIG locked diff it can be a handful...
It seems that some of the cars are more twitchy than mine but mostly I follow the lines Bruce taught me as he has a lot more racing experience than I do. My best laps we didn't get as the camera was charging but me and another guy got away with pure racing for 8 laps it was awesome....

It was a good day....so many guys got a shock at how quick I was....I overheard a driver of a 350Z talking about my times...he said it's an old Alfa driven by a chick and she's only 2 seconds slower than me...I butted in and asked him did he have full acelerator travel...couldn't help myself!!!

Other squeaks are from something inside the car...not sure what...it has so many noises it's hard to tell what's what!I will try and get over in Oct....but I warn you I take no prisoners in that car...I don;t have to drive it to work...I am nearly outgrowing the circuit sprint crew...Bruce wants to build me a car to race in 08 as I am too aggressive!!!

I don't call you the SA Trackstar for nothing Julia. Awesome stuff. Very quick to catch the oversteer too. 
As for the squeaking sound, I just assumed you'd recruited a spider monkey on speed to hold the camera.
Here's an offer you can't refuse - make it to the Nationals this year (wherever they're going to be held) and I'll put my car at your disposal if you can't (or don't want to) track yours. I have absolute confidence in you.

I will try and make the national meeting.....I will bring Max too..how about we both go out together I promise to be courteous!! But I would love a go in one that has the suspension improvments!
Yes the oversteer was interesting...I got faster and faster over the top of that corner, it would have been very messy if I had lost it totally.....Bruce saw the video and told me off and then hugged me and told me I was ready to race. I sat there beaming like a little kid all afternoon!!
The squeaking yes well that's a good suggestion for what it is.....will have to fix that before the next vid I post. Although we have some earlier footage from Mallala with me bashing up a guy in a Fiat which is funny too..no squeak there so I think I am wearing the car out!!

Many thanks.....yes logistics is something I am intermittantly good/bad at. It;s a very gracious offer.....
Oh well I am off to burn some more fuel in the oppressive heat of an Adelaide day....
