I'll kick off with this one of Neil meditating.  You could hear the snores over the race track noise...

Here's my one and only photo for the weekend.

Broken bell housing from the 105  :'(

Cheers

Here's a few minutes of 'action' from my seat this year.  I tried a new strategy this year and set a very conservative lap time, keeping revs low, short changing, and braking early everywhere.  Despite having heaps of clean laps with little traffic and no safety cars, I totally failed to deliver my bag of bonus laps!  Harrumph I seemed to do better trying to drive the wheels off the car in previous years...

A few club members make an appearance in here:

Meh.  Still a brilliant weekend!

Here are some practice laps chasing Simon Aarons. After three spins in the morning trying to get to grips with road tyres again, this is me trying(!) to be smooth and gentle.

(looks like you have to go to the full youtube page to get it to start at the correct point in the video).

My final stint on Sunday. Ends with the engine cutting when the battery melts!

Courtesy of John Floyd.  We had a famous Australian explorer on our team.

Can you recognise him?

Hey Neil, send a memo out to the MX5 driver in this video to maybe check his/her rearview mirror before backing off the throttle on the front straight next time!
