Also some holinger how the hell does that work in the gear change with driver. :mad:
Some vision issues with the steering wheel postion. B)
1:16 on old tyres but not consistant :p
Not bad for an old car and driver ? It attracted a lot of attention ! people still love the Big Guards and Wings ! B)

5 speed holinger
The trouble I was having is down changing from 5th to 4th to 3rd they need a fairly stout change or they bite you :(
1:08 is fast V8 race car qalifies 1:09 to10 races at 1:13 to 14 .
Also I was driving like a maniac once I started slowing down it all started to work better. :mad:
I was talking to Veteran Sports Sedan QLD legend Simon Harrison and he put right on a few matters .? ;)

Well done Famous for getting your car on the track. If you are racing a sports sedan in QLD I hope you will join the QRDA - go to www.qrda.asn.au for more info.
A 1.16 is not a bad time first up. That would put you well in front at the QR AASA events and around 4th or 5th at a CAMS state round (not that we go to QR anymore!)
So who is this Sports Sedan Legend Simon Harrison?? I've been around for a while and never heard of him. Not Simon Harrex by any chance?
So will we see you up at Morgan Park later in the year?

Time is my biggest constraint at the moment with Buisness I can fit the Top Gear meetings in and thats about it .
