Nice. Thought you needed a roll bar for track days in a convertible? Or is that just Hampton Downs?

Funny how it was all road cars then I see the Edgell SuperTourer =P

Roll bar for Playdays....at Puke its a different organisation so cant remember the rules...you'd be mad not to have at least a rear roll bat on the track!

nice vids!

looks like you had a lot of fun

Furai · Post by **Furai** » Fri May 17, 2013 9:59 am

Its on June the 3rd, just call the number on the facebook page if you want to enter.

Thanks Guys, yeah I know no rollbar is dangerous but to be honest I dont think its an issue.

I have booked in to get one made though, super keen for full track drift days.

Er, did I see you pass a Ver9 STi, on the front straight???

Either you put a very large turbo in your car recently, or that guy was afraid of his car.

Ill go with afraid since everything passed me dow the straight.

The gearing was a perfect match though!

Was going to say the gears looked really short. Can bet you just wanted to try drift the whole track lol

Furai · Post by **Furai** » Fri May 17, 2013 11:12 pm

Sweepers a little dodgy to drift, I enjoy some racing too!

Nice driving for your first track day! I always look to see how much people use their mirrors on track, and you seemed to be well aware of who was around you at all times. Nice going
