You're talking about the Oran supersprint right? I'm not sure which results sheet you have but I actually got an 86.33 http://www.hdcc.com.au/docs/results/...print 2009.xls

We were in different classes because of my engine mods. My tyres actually looked worse than that, I'll get a pic. I probably could have driven a bit smoother

Sorry mate - I can't read
You are absolutely right - geez I must have had a bad day that day....
I blame it on creeping senility...

That's teach me to check the figures more carefully - the significant digit being a '8' in you case vs a '9' in my case.
My apologies for that.

16th outright - That's fantastic. You're in good campany there in amongst some exotic (and not so exotic, but quick) machinery

Can't believe that your tyres looked worst that that

Anyway, hope to see you out this year!

Hi Ian,

I met you at the Oran supersprint, I had the white GTI. Looks like fun in those videos, I can understand why your tyres are used up though! Actually did you find that the oran supersprint was really harsh on the tyres too? I couldn't believe how ripped up my tyres were after that, I think the surface was really run-down and abrasive.

Out of interest what car club are you with, are you part of HDCC? They seem to be quite active in motorsport events which is good.

Sorry Arno Arno - didn't answer your question.
I'm in TCC (Thornleigh).
They are very active in motorsport too.

In fact, TCC and HDCC had an inter-club comp going last year.
Not sure how it turned out, but I think HDCC were in front last time I looked.

Last year I was in Mini Club Club (MCC) as well.
The're a good bunch too, and also quite active.
They also had a good grass motorkhana and khanacross ground up at Riverwood, but they were losing that I last I heard...

I have toyed with joining HDCC as well (or maybe instead of Mini), but we'll see.

Hi Ian, don't worry I'm going senile as well! Yeah my tyres were brand new Toyo R888's and I really scrubbed the edges of the grooves pretty badly, it took actual chunks out. There was another guy running the same tyres as me and he had the same thing happen. I think it was a combination of the compound and the really rough surface.　Would have been nice to get a few more laps in to get them to the right temp too.

I have heard good things about TCC. I was pretty impressed with the enthusiasm and turn-out at Oran park, HDCC seems quite active in motorsport. Some of those datsuns with CA18's and SR20's were bloody quick.

I have also been to one track day held by a circuit club I found out about through Will. They aren't supersprints and you don't even need a CAMS licence, they seem to have a lot of events as well. Mostly fast jap cars. This year I really want to get the golf out to a few of these events. I might see you at a few more. Are you going to the VW Nationals one at wakefield in May? I plan too.
