Grafton Hillclimb

I attended the Grafton Sporting Car Club's hillclimb on the weekend for the first time. It was loads of fun, and the first time I had my car out on a track. I managed to get under 60 seconds which was my goal for the day but hope to be a lot closer to the Evo's next time. I headed down with some top blokes from EvoOz and made a weekend of it. I can't wait to go back with improved suspension and tires, I just need to develop the business case in order to get it past the Minister for Finance. I think I'll try the improved safety angle... You can see how tight and technical the track is below.

New PB at Willowbank yesterday

I went out to Willowbank Raceway yesterday for some 1/4 mile fun. My best time was 13.791, about 1/2 a second quicker than last time thanks to a new exhaust, front mount intercooler and clutch.

I haven't found any video of my runs but here's some I took of the other VR-4s and Evos that were there. The last clip is of an R35 GT-R which ran an 11.3!
