Evan,

It looks like as it starts to rain the Sud just wants to go faster

Here's where ironsides comes past, and I try my hardest to stay in touch.  What happened to "I Lean"?

Sheldon,

A remarkably well behaved & handling ironsides.Does that new front sway bar mean you no longer have to take your sea sick table before a sprint.

Well I did bang my head on the gearlever a couple of times as I was preparing to lean into the corner, until I got used to the new set-up.  It's new torsion bars and springs by the way, still stock sway bars, but that might be the next thing.  Also, I 'd never taken any notice of that big bump at the end of the pit straight before!!  Seriously, I wondered why people even mentioned it.  But it's quite a big bump really....

It should keep those bloody 'suds off my arse for a while anyway, as long as it doesn't rain.  Evan came past me like I was going backwards in the first two sessions.  No need to put them up though.

Great Video Evan,
I have a big panoramic rear view mirror in my car now and it gives great rear and side vision on your videos shot from inside the car,adds to the entertainment.
Cheers
Andrew

Hey Eddy just wanted to apologize for my dodgy overtake in the last run of the day, I couldn't stop in time and thought it was better to overtake into the corner rather than re-decorate the rear of your car. :)

No problem Mick, I appreciate the apology. I was a little surprised by the move but am not so surprised if you were trying to follow my breaking points with your relatively standard setup. I had another close one on a later lap on turn 2 when I stayed to the right after turn 1 making room  for three quick ( I mean really quick) cars to pass and the last of the three ( an excellent driver I might add) came through even closer than you.
All is well.
Cheers
Eddy
