A brief video of Mick Aarons making me forget it was a regularity event - and making me bust my time !

Nice bit of driving boys. What a grouse event it was like a six hour sprint loved it
That is truly awesome mick - It looks 250% more exciting from your seat - what with all the amazing noise that your car makes! You were a bit unlucky to hit that GTV - I was right behind, watching it unfold and I didn't even realize that you guys had come into contact. Still, its just a 'flesh wound' ...
100% agree with Jim - your car sounds great. Love that you didnt even lift off!
Great day. I have footage from 11.30 to 12.30am. If anyone wants me to post any video of there car let me know your car and number.
This is a quick edit from sunday,i was in a silver mx5 (they all look the same i know).

A very small part of my second session, did a test run before I make a longer video. Figured I'd put it up, since Choderboy hasn't got round to uploading the evidence of Steve's dirty tactics!
Grouse videos.
Always a pleasure to be passed by you Mick. I could tell you were having heaps of fun. Bad luck with the touch, I would of driven around the same as you.
Jim, I know what you mean about busting your time, when ever I get passed by someone it generally ends up that way.
Here's 15 minutes from near the end of my afternoon session. Untidy and full of mistakes through the middle part of the video, then in the last few laps I managed to refocus and smooth it all back out a bit. One or two regular forum members pop up in this one.
Father/son moment on the track then spoilt by a fast white GTV
Here's our little contribution ...
That white GTV6 makes an appearance again! ;)

Good O and good vision. Victor, I was just going to say how smooth your driving was then I noticed it was Mary, and then saw the second half of the vision!!!!!!!!!!
Choderboy you are every where.. you make an appearance in my video too!
I was in the little black Daihatsu Charade
Someone in the alfa club will find the footage at about the 4min 30 mark interesting too.. I think its one of your junior team having a spin :)

I'm everywhere Victor, everywhere.

Checks Chodeboys laps to see if he falls under 40% rule :D

Haha.
What is your camera and how is it mounted? It seems to move around a-lot!
Camera is a $150 aldi helmet cam special from a few years ago.. mounted on the headrest of the passenger seat.
The seat vibrates and so the camera vibrates.. and the headrest poles that slide into the seat rattle and that is the annoying noise you hear.
It's desperately due for an upgrade.. but there are always more "go fast" bits I would prefer to spend my money on first!

No, not a junior member, they are better drivers than that!!!!!
They do more silly things like break 40% of their laps.
But great spin....... wakes you up doesn't it.
40% ? Good job!
Certainly did wake me up.. there was a lot of "where's he going.. where's he going.... where's he going" happening in my car while it was happening.
Here is the second part of the video.. I call it "Hunting Alfa's"

Aww - you drive too fast! I thought I might just squeak in at the end of your video, but nope. Love the facepalm at the end of the second lap ;D

Is it just me, or are some of your gestures going past your pit board pointing at the car in front in a "he's next" manner? ;D
By the way, I have a proposition for you - you can operate the brake pedal in my car for me, and I'll do the steering, accelerating and screaming :o
Stephen, I like to tell people "it's tyre smoke"

No, just pointing at the pit board so the team know I've seen it, or being generally confused from breaking the lap time or too slow.
Nice driving Ray. I feel sorry for you having to follow the diesel for a few laps. I got caught behind the Punto for half a lap and I still smell of the nasty stuff.

Here's the video of my whole first session, which is pretty much just 45 mins of constant overtaking and diving under brakes and trying not to run into anyone!
Some notable moments are;
-being hit by the cream GTV as it spins through the esses.
-seeing the Renault Clio push the Falcon off the track at Dudleys Elbow, he was black flagged on the next lap for that.
-lots of you will see footage of your cars!
Thanks for that Mick. Was good to do a 'session' at the 6-hour from my desk in Perth. Very well set up car and excellently driven.
