Hi Leigh, My wifes family are from Wangaratta so I'll be staying with them.
For me it'll be the first time out of 1st and 2nd gear. My car still has less than 1000 meters on the clock.
Cheers

Hopefully Lily and Lauren will drive up on Saturday. They probably wont get there till mid day or so. Lily doesn't want to have a go on the track just yet but she wants to come out and have a look some time on Saturday. Lauren is keen to see Daddys Cobra go. She's had several rides up and down the driveway and loves it.
Cheers

If I recall correctly, last year there was some time for familiarisation and 2up in a car at road speed... NOT race speed.
that is a great opportunity for spouses, girlfriends and family members to get the feel of a race track in a proper racing cobra.
Of course the organisers can now abuse me if this won't happen this year... But I hope it does. 
As an offer to any builders or drivers who want to ride in a different car, I am traveling solo and would be happy to take anyone around if the opportunity presents itself.
Regards
Cameron

Times
My best time was a 1.43 before the incident 
Anything in the low 1.40's is pretty quick, the 5 litre boys were around the 1.49 to 55's with street tires.

I'll be happy to get round in under 2 minutes.
It's getting serious. I went and bought a car trailer today.
Cheers

Oh by the way I'll be happy if the bastard doesn't run hot on me so I can get a few laps in, not really worried how quick I go if anything I'll have to drive or race so it doesn't spew its guts out. will find out soon

Poetry in motion as you resurfaced the roadway with fresh rubber, but your lines weren't straight
Good Luck to all the NSW contingent.
