    Few members down there representing the 300s. The morning was very cold and great for the turbos :) The rain also thankfully stayed away the whole day.

    The car performed really well despite the tuning not yet finished, one blown fuse and one new upper radiator hose were the only casualties. Developed a small pin hole leak, lucky we spotted it, requiring a trip to repco for a replacement.

    Franz has some great footage from incar. Should be seeing that in the next few days. Unfortunately one session we didnt get any video of was me riding with Franz. Damn Franz can really drive. It was really white knuckle stuff as he pushed the car fairly hard.

    I had just finished doing some laps with Franz orientating me to the track then he had a go. It was reasonably sedate for the first lap. There was a really loud, fully worked v8 ute that was going quite hard and we were matching it quite easy on the straight. When I said to Franz " you know I reckon we could take that ute on the straight" it was on :)

    Franz quickly planted it, started braking late and overtaking some cars to catch up. We were cornering going sideways and Franz had amazing control of the vehicle, I thought were would of been in for a few 180s at least. We were up the ass of the ute in no time. However when we were overtaking cars going sideways I finally had to ask Franz to back off a bit :) Really amazing driving.

    Anyway, should be heaps of footage. Another one with Franz driving and he ends up doing a spin in a corner he really got to love :p and if you look closely as the car is spinning you should also see Daniel in his red zed spining out in front of Franz' spin with a GTR trying hard to miss them both :)

    Was really good fun. Hope to see more WA guys at future events.

    Sounds really good. Can't wait to see the video...

    Give me some advanced warning next time and I'll be there. I've got helmet and all I need is CAMS $License$ I think.

    You still owe me a ride :)

    Cheers,
    Evan.

    fark yeah, best day in the zed ever !

    Top day, had heaps of fun.

    Started to get a bit more comfortable towards the end pushing the car, started to step it out sideways, a bit.

    then did a bit too much and lost it in the dirt killing my front bar again, oh well.

    I'd do it again though, going sideways and looking out your drivers window to see where you are going because you are that sideways, is just a crazy feeling, I want MORE !!!

    collie is going to be awesome! :thumbsup:

    Great Day Enjoyed Watchin

    yeah it was a great day. I really enjoyed it and so did my dad (Planit Z) and sister. Thanks again scott for giving us a push start at the end of the day. My fav part of the day was when Dan and Franz lost it at the same time.lol Dan and Franz Demo Team. Also watching scotty get it sideways up the hill was sweet.

    Great Track Day :thumbsup:

    Headed down to Barbagello to lend some moral support to the 300zx crowd! Great to see Nathan, Daniel and Scotty giving it a good go! Franz went crazy in Nathans Zed and it was all good!. I swear Scotty's car was faster without the front bar.:LOL: it sure looked meaner!. Great driving by all the boys. Synchronized Spin's by Franz and Daniel was great!
    Riskz was foaming at the mouth :LOL: to get on the track and have a crack as well....maybe next time Andrew!!
    Lots of other cars strutting their stuff as well. Plenty of WRX's, Silvia's,200SX, 180's and Skyline's plus a couple of Supras..... Oh and 1 V8 Holden Ute that Franz was racing!:D A few Drifters were there and it was cool to watch them burn some serious rubber!
    Also a stock standard Renault Clio... man that was POCKET ROCKET!
    Looked so much fun, may even it it a go myself! Now that's SCARY!:unsure:
    Great to catch up with everyone.. had a GREAT day.

    Cheers Tim

    Vids online!!! [Link Inside]

    Cheers for the kind words Nathan. I gotta say, even though it isn't to its full potential yet...WOW. The thing just hauls a$$!!! Can't wait til its at its full potential. Car held up well considering that would have to be its first real outing and its first bit of hardwork, I am impressed.

    Was good to see Scottie (BlackiceTT) out there and was doing really well; confidence increasing with every lap! I think next time raising the suspension and adding a bit of damper will significantly improve lap times!

    Dan (Red Z) was doing really well. His car hauls a$$ too! I was very impressed. Dan also picked the lines well to and drove well - especially with the fresh R comps!!

    My rant over... the vids...

    http://video.franzonline.net - at the bottom of the page!

    Vids include:
    * In car of Jimmah drifting the Speedworks S13
    * Watching Drift Mike ...drift from behind for a lap
    * Me in Nathans zed on the short track
    * Me in Nathans zed on the long track (this one has a fair bit of traffic and the synchronized spin with Dan in his red zed!).


    Just want to thank Nathan (Zisluv) again for the privilege of driving his zed. :)
