    The track at Lakeside has been resurfaced, Wokka, and it's pretty smooth. We were doing 'happy laps', and couldn't speed around the back section, but were going hard down the straight. There was a lot of drama, and lead changes at Bathurst, it was good to see Betty's team win.

    In my first post, I said this build had a twist. I could have been more accurate if I said it had the X-Factor.

    I have been informed that a parcel has arrived at home, and I'm stuck at work. This will be part of what's inside the parcel...

    Hey, I've got to wait till I get home to rip it open, I thought I'd share the suspense!

    Someone may tweak to where it shall be mounted...

    I love Lakeside it's a lot of fun but the Loop scares the hell out of me in a open car and the drop off on the exit means kissing the Armco if you do fall off.

    One of my mates dropped the RH front lower ball joint going into Hungry at our nationals back in 2013 which caused a certain amount of clenching in the trouser region.

    What model Sierra have you got Swanny ?

    Very nice.

    I was amused at the drivers briefing where they put up the slides with Xs marking the accident black spots, there's no circuit left.

    The last car fatality there that I am aware of was a guy going off the top of the loop and downhill into the tyre wall breaking his neck, no HANS.

    I had a decent off coming out of T2 at Eastern Creek in August last year when I ran out of talent, thankfully the HANS did its job
