Hehe. Wish we could have caught up for a chat but I was distracted and didn't think to seek out individuals

Same. Next time mate.

After hearing people say they'd taken chunks out of their tyres, I'm glad I stayed away from the skidpan in my car. Rob and Henry were taking passengers in the Chevy SS development cars. I had a run with Rob and it was awesome, not only is he a legend, his car control is something to behold. He also gave me some good tips for Philip Island and I got him to sign my engine bay

Rob T is an awesome driver. I have been in the car a number of times and must be the best Holden employee driver they have. He is the driver in the video of the special edition key box.

Craig Lowndes edition on eBay for 65k done 2500kms, good time to try to get top $$$. Long term these should be a collector item.

Sorry no videos but some pics below. There were 3 red hot Motorsports including mine, a spitfire Motorsport with W547 pack and a SOAG Director, as well as lots of other nice Commodores. Met and spoke with the limited edition owners, bunch of lovely guys, all of whom had fairly low kms and were driving their LEs in anger for the first time. Was great chatting with them and hearing them account their experiences driving on track. It goes without saying that the LEs impressed.

I didn't get as many pics as I wanted as my friend was the first accident, he lost control on turn 2 and went into the tyre wall with side impact, so I spent any time I wasn't on track helping him and talking to him. He was okay which was the main thing, mainly a bruised ego. His car wasn't driveable so had to be picked up on a flatbed truck. I'd guess he has 8-12k of repairs to look forward to. That put a damper on proceedings straight off the bat (first session) but then there was an even more serious accident in the second session, pic of that below. Megane RS lost control on the last corner leading on to the main straight and ended up hitting the tyre wall at speed with full frontal impact. Pic below shows the car was a write off. After the two accidents it was hard to push to the limit and take risks, given the reality of the consequences was very visible on two occasions.

With that said, my new RE003 tyres and more aggressive camber/toe worked wonders, the additional grip was significant, highly recommended and cost effective performance upgrade for those of you are using your LEs on track regularly.

Mate are you a car dealer , always clogging cars on here

Where's that Unlike button?
Why would a dealer be promoting other dealers' cars?

I find blackve76's posts interesting. They certainly save me a lot of time in keeping in touch with market prices.

Wouldn't it be awesome if there was some track events around the country just for the last Aussie V8s for owners to have a drive . I know there are some categories like that with early Aussie model track cars etc but I think people would be really interested and what a great group of people .
