late notice i know but JAZMAC PERFORMANCE is holding a dyno shoot out day and it could be interesting to pass through on the way back to Adelaide. great way of showing off the club at the same time all arriving at the same time.

I still think that the gokarts are rigged!!! How the hell is it otherwise possible for the lightest person to be the slowest on the straights? Ahahahaha, that's it, I let you beat me
Just goes to show what such a good sport I am!!!
As for the pics, I'll see about posting them up when I get home

Yes it was a great day out!! Well done to all who organised it, and it sucks that i could not have come earlier. But, I still managed to meet up with the others for a chat.

I definitely think Gepps Cross karts would be a good day as the karts there have a "bump cage" around the kart so there wouldn't be much backing off, the only problem is that there will be no running off onto the nice soft grass but straight into a nice soft tyre wall. But a couple of things came to mind on the way home. 1. I now know why Luke's nickname is Lunatic_Luke! 2. I definitely have to hurry up with my suspension and other mods, because i was left for dead on the way down Mt Lofty.

Thanks, that probably would have been a good idea, I hadn't been down there at night before, and i'm a sucker for lookouts, so i was trying to drive down with one hand while taking a video of it on my mobile (which didn't really turn out to well, so next time it will be a proper camera!), oh and also my stock "boat like" suspension doesn't really like corners.

So, you guys took it off the gokart track and onto the roads. Hehehehe, you guys are a worry!

Just keep in mind they watch you lie a hawk there, and at the richmond track. And they WILL rip you off the track if you give someone one too many 'love taps'
Just thought you'd like to know that before you guys plan a day playing dodgem cars at 40kph!!!

At least you guys didn't have air suspension which was on normal not sports so the ride wouldn't be too bumpy for my back. You all left us on the bends to Mt Gambier, but we caught up on the straights.
I'm not sure what Kris was thinking as he was talking to me on the mobile when we hit some tight corners - no was not orgasmic.

These are probably the better ones of the day. Obviously they have been cropped and shrunk to fit here. If you'd like the hi-res versions, PM me (don't ask here, that way I'll already have your email address!) and I'll send them off to you.

Nah, my stereo would drown you out anyway.
Will give it a rest for a few weeks (back still ******* me off).
Will then do a test run for the orienteering cruise so that I can fine tune the instructions. Will be looking to do this maybe 2nd weekend in August. Gives people plenty of time to raise funds (get tax refunds), and get cars organised. Also end of financial year always creates massive increase in hours at work, so July out of the question for me.
