well morgan park really is a great fun race track! top speed is about 180 on the main straight. there are two 140 kmh left hand sweepers, and the rest is quick squirts between tight turns and left / right combinations. the nationals next year there will be a ripper the way these sprints work is you line up next to an opponent for a standing start on the grid, then do 3 laps. over 2 days you do 8 sessions like this. the results are determined on the total time of your best 3 lap session. competition in my class was tough, around 20 cars, and the cars in our class were pretty much the fastest on track. the results were: 1. our friend Paul Gillis in his GT40 2. Mike Weston (Leyburn GT) race car beast 3. Eric Roth in an ex Carrera Cup Porchse GT3 race car 4. Peter Somers (GT40) 5. Simon Rhodes (Triumph TR-7 with V8 donk) 6. Yours truly (300ZX) and the rest, DB Cobras, Porsche 933, etc etc had one off at the exit of turn 2, overcorrected and speared off the track, some safety tyres got stuck under the car and I couldnt get her going so had to get help to jack the car up and remove the safety tyres, then was on my way again no damage done.
my best session time was 3 min 35 sec something. made up of laps of 1 min 14, 1 min 11, 1 min 10. Paul Gillis's best session time was 3 min 28 something I think.

Good Job Well done mate, especially for a first run on the track I couldnt make it to watch due to a lack of funds sadly I did see you drive home yesterday though, i was with a few friends in a white pintara. We'd been down to Moogerah Dam for the day. We turned off infront of you just before u got to the Cunningham Gap range
thanks for all the kind comments guys I'm doing my best to fly the flag for the 300 :zlove: still heaps more I want to do on the car so more speed in her to come.
Sounds good mate! Will have to get out there with you some day mate, missing the circuits. Not enough time to do everything though. Finances and work are playing havoc with the toy plans atm, MattB
