Post by: giulia_veloce on October 04, 2012, 11:51:03 AM
Fellow AROCA NSW club member Michael Caruso tops the first practice session at Bathurst 1000 with a 2.08.40
Still a long way to go,but go hard car 34.

Great weekend: excellent weather, good track conditions and record attendance.
Followed Caruso all weekend ... go number 34 .... bought the Fujitsu jacket.
Camped at the top of the mountain from FRI to SU afternoon: plenty of motorized beer kegs, no compulsory burn-outs or naked bodies, few track lap beer bongs; sign in the toilet " flush twice its a long way to broadmeadows"  ;D.
Out of all traffic a highway petrol pulls over a guy in a Hyunday Excel.
Saw a Porsche Panamera cop car.
Photos will follow.

Good on you Kartone = following Caruso,and buying a Jacket.
Great race to watch on TV,especially the tech expert Larkam,,putting in a brake pad backwards.
Last 20 laps or so saw Caruso up there,but he had no tyres or brakes left.
888 did brake pads and rotors nearly every stop,GRM only did it once in 161 laps.
Anyway,good effort by club member Caruso.
Its about time he had a better car and team to go with.
