chenglaw 4 Report post Posted May 26, 2007 (edited) Well, this is a surprise. BeeJay in pole again and Sport Racer second again for the umpteenth time (don't you get tired of that?) with Fangio rising to the occasion as well. And "the Slotter lola very fast, just a bit to light in total weight, (the lightest car in the field)" taking fourth. Should be happy with that and hope it will do well enough in the race tomorrow. Good job, Bo, thanks. Actually I think the race is on next friday, Lim Alan Ooops, must be getting old. This change in sequence from having Qualifying a day before race day to a week before is a little too much for this old noggin to take in. :D Edited May 28, 2007 by chenglaw Lim I enjoy racing.

Geez, not only do NSW have the fastest racers, we also have the fastest results. Well done Bo, great to see you do so well with the Lola. I was worried it would be as slow as all my other cars, nice surprise this car is turning out to be. Are these official qualifying times or just getting a feel for each car? Isn't the race next week?

lenny broke 51 Report post Posted May 27, 2007 More great Photos Bo I'm just curious to the order of cars in pit lane. I assume that it is a random lineup. It is interesting that two of the cars, Beejay and Fangio struggled with wheel hop here in Adelaide but are now on the front row of the grid. track surface is obviously a factor here I reckon. any way this round is going to be very interesting indeed. My tip is keep and eye on a few of the mid fielders with the longer heat durations being a factor if the car is easy to drive particularly devious old brokes that can lap consistently and stay on.
