Horses for courses Spook.

If I had the choice of driving to Sydney and back in Ash's or Wayne's car as against this A4, I know which I'd pick. There's no comparison between a nicely worked road car that doubles as a fun track-day car, and an all-out gutted sports sedan.

But I know what you're saying, and high 57s around WP ain't hanging about.

No pressure but I wonder who's going to be the first of our lot to crack the minute? You? Scotty? Ash? Wayne? One of the BDR cars? And while I'm musing (and here comes that horses for courses thing again) has anyone bought Gary Walther's car yet? I can think of half a dozen guys I'd love to see taking that missile around WP or Morgan Pk. It has to stay in Qld doesn't it?

Hey Don,

Yep, it was just to highlight what the fully fledged HUGE $ race cars are doing. Time, $'s and practice will all make you faster.

In talking to Sam from WP, he's mighty impressed with what all the cobra guys are doing down there....

That said, a sub 1m time won't be me! I lack the canastas, $'s, desire and most importantly "talent" factor required.

Personally, without the cars safety aspects improving I wouldn't want to see anyone going any faster.

Gary's car is an awesome car and there are quite a few QLD's who'd considered it. But I believe there was a very interested party from Melbourne last I heard at the Nats if you believe the talk in the paddock.

This might run sub 1m. Sorry for the Backdraft self promotion. Runs 12 inch wide front slicks and 14 inch wide rears.

Its about 100 feet wide!

Not having to lift for the corners would certainly help.....keep the power on and put it in the right spots for each corner, and the 57's will happen......great looking race car.

George campaigns his car in the Sth African equivelant of our sports sedans/marque sports car racing. I doubt it's for sale but everything is for a price i guess. U may be getting confused with a us built ffr racer that is for sale here on club cobra for 37k which hasn't seen much track time. A few Vic guys were keen on it.

George might part with his for big $s. pm me and I'll get u his email through Reg at backdraft if ya keen.
