So you shut down because of overheating. Have you tried cleaning your fans and vents?

Too much information. If your life-partner wants to rate you, I think it should be kept personal..


Big grats to Mr Wally for the season win!

Grats to Marty... I guess.
Managed to get his name above mine in the results I see... I put that down to admin oversight..

Yep, well done Wally.  Consistently up the front and well deserved.

Gratulin was also the star of the season for organizing it all and putting together a great series with a few nice tweaks to the format as well.  You managed to fill Fattop's large boots, welcome back Bruce/Rob (whichever one you are, I still get them mixed up).

Thanks guys.

Thanks for the invitation to run in the last round of the season... my plan was not to hit anyone and stuff their season on the last night.

Thanks to GB, I dropped 2 seconds and became more consistent, the car is very nice to drive, even with the skipping, feels like it is running 'cheese cutter' tyres when it reaches that point.

Really enjoyed the racing with Gratulin, both working hard an no stupid moves to spoil the fun.
I will need to watch the replay, but I mainly remember looking at Gratulin's cars rear or see it in the rear view.
I was taking the fast first left hander slow in 5th, but had too much speed on one occasion and ate dust.

Race 2, I was tired and sore, and eventually sat in either rob's or Gratulin's car and enjoyed their battle.

Thanks Andrew for running a successful fun season.


BIG THANKS ANDREW.

Couple of awful races for me. Didn't have much time to learn the track before we started and really struggled. Was pretty near the back in each race and got a tap in both that sent me off. Didn't really matter as that was the position I'd likely be in anyway  ;D Think I also spun on my own one or twice which left Guy to lap me in both races.

The race is the alfas was way more fun and really enjoyed it. Spent a few laps just behind stan, bafs and grubbert before I must have accidentally found the hidden turbo button turning into that long left hander and ended to taking grubbert out, sorry dude!

Still, lots a fun despite loosing terribly. I blame my work trip to Melbourne the day before for wiping me out  :o

Gratulin: big thanks mate, you did a great job at this season-running.  Just need to tame those servers so the results are always up :D
These cars were fantastic, we should run them again, soon. ;)

I "grew up" on Control Data and IBM mainframes - they NEVER crashed like that :))

NEVER TOO OLD TO RACE ... being competitive can be a PROBLEM though.
