bov Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 Hi Dave, Thanks for the update and especially the piccies - very noice.... Relatively happy with my first showing, but - way to go, Dale!! Well done to the 'cast of the fast' ...... Quote Cheers, Tony. There's only two questions: 1. What direction do you go 2.

David Carter Posted August 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 just as a reference low 5.3 to high 5.5 sec lap times is a very good time for a GRP5 car on this track anything quicker than that is just outstanding Quote Holdens rule the rest just drool slot cars are my drug, ATCC/Bathurst proxy host NZ Grp5 proxy host.

Check out also the fight from pos 4 thru to 10 - looks like it will be brutal for the rest of the series. Quote Orakei Racer Slow is smooth, smooth is fast!
