lets start from the beginning...
i stayed over @ k's house due to the early start. ended up sleeping @ 12 coz we were just talking?!?! B came over @ 6am (when we were meant to get up) a bit of a mix up, we were planning to leave @ 6:30am, he thought 6.. ek ><
the scramble out of bed
the breakfast of champions (thanks Aunty B!)
on we went, arriving @ Goulburn, we had a 2nd breakfast
Admittedly after driving around the track myself (no guidance) i was doing around the 1.33 mark. i actually wasnt really having fun. The official didn't allow us to ride with another driver unless they were an instructor
so K got an instructors band.. no idea how he got it?!?!?
(ironically he came off and had to get towed straight after he was deemed an instructor?!?! :S)
anyways later in the day Kev actually was able to take me for a spin in his car and him in my car, teaching me the lines, the braking pts etc. This was the biggest eye opener!
after many more attempts my time came down: 1.25, 1.24
and eventually 1.21.XX (forgot the splits) yay!
was really happy with this result, maybe next time can break the 1.20 mark??
next time i will try driving with half tank of petrol.. haha weight saving (i actually only ended up using half!)
on with some pics
All had an amazing day! Congrats to everyone who beat their previous PBs!
just want to say a big thanks to B for helping prep the car before hand, K and AL for the guidance, tips and showing us the ropes!
cant wait for the next one!
I don't know that much about cars, but that sounds like a fun day. Sort of makes me want to know more.
