We reckon the Junior in its original drawings looked a bit sad!  Here's one we've prepared earlier!

This just goes to prove that a manufacturer can design and produce new cars with some style and class, please take note messrs. Toyota, Mitsubishi etc.

Victor,

The sprint day went really well overall.  The delay in getting started meant that the track was nearly dry when I first went out.  Mick Aarons gave me some much appreciated guidance through the familiarisation laps. I then had a dry practise and first timed run.  I managed a 1:45 lap which I was really happy with.  That time is flattered by the power of the V6 rather than my cornering skill. It would take several more laps before I could be less conservative at the end of the straights The goal was to not get too enthusiastic and after feeling the car squirming around a little in the next wettish run I decided to call it quits.

The things that struck me most were the power and music from the engine, the strength of the brakes (thanks Mary for the advice at the new members night to get the brake fluid renewed and bled) and the cars koni suspension providing cornering composure beyond my needs.

I'm now really keen to try Winton, which everyone says is a much friendlier track for a novice. There I will be able to progressively up the ante a bit without walls looming close by. The big dilemma swirling around in my head is do I buy a $5k track car or stick with the GTV? The weekend showed that the GTV is wasted on the road. It likes the track. I just can't crash it.

Regards,
John Toomath
