Mmmmm...camera death.
Anyone contemplating a Sony HDD Camcorder for in-car footage, look at other options. The vibration just makes the camera shut down. I'll see if Sony has a solution. Otherwise a great camera....but not in the car!

Thanks to everyone for a great weekend.
I have met yet more great peaople that have existed until the weekend only in cyber space.
Congrats on your debut Mike, your reliability is testiment to your workmanship.
Thanks Richard for the hot laps and thanks Mike for the laughs through the turns (sorry couldn't resist).
The freinds you make through these cars and these events are priceless.

Can you tell I had a great weekend?

Funny that. I don't remember that extra turn being there in the back section of the track on my earlier laps.

Thanks again for the help with my circuit breaker Gav.

Cheers

PhilM, thanks for the video, that thing of yours sounds bluddy unreal. I've played that vid so often and soooo loud the first wife bought me some earphones today.

RFGT40, welcome to the forum or the funny farm as we sometimes call it.

Good stuff. Now let's see if we can get one or two "6.0L" capacity Cobras into the Sprint Session results next year.

Thanks for the video Michael. I really stuffed up that event with a lack of front end grip or was that too much rear end grip. Loads of understeer followed by loads of power oversteer. Fun Fun Fun.

I didn't get to hear the car as a spectator Pete but every one reckoned it was the loudest thing there. It certainly sounded angry from the drivers seat.

I had heaps of fun Scotty. It was such a good feeling being finally able to drive the thing

Cheers

I have uploaded some into my gallery, but am having trouble getting them on here, I thought size didn't matter

The pic below was not only the loudest, but the most sideways....

If anyone would like copies of their car shots, I reckon I photographed everything so send me a PM so I can send the full size photos.

There's one in the gallery that finally resolves the Dark Side issue (no offence intended)

Cheers
