You seem to be a bit of a mind reader! I just can't translate the feel of the sticks to my driving. It just like when you pick up someone elses car the feeling is that different.
At CH the other night I went from doin .2 lap quicker (best lap) to over .5 and cons under .3 every run. What was more fun was that I could touch the domes on 1/2 the corners every lap over and over.
Funny thing is the cars response feels alot slower with the helios!? I can't explain it.
I am trying to get the boys down on saturday too so we should have some good mod action.
Cya then...

Hope to see some more racers/runners this afternoon. Round two of Saturday Racing.
Looking forward to running the 17.5, now that I have rebuilt the car.
VHT, mmmm, might have to check it out. We like rumours. Starts the mill working.
CYA's this arvo.
Calvin.

I can assure all that it was not VHT but it was our own preferred choice of track condtioner (from our friends at Aus Torc Australia) and it was spilled (sprayed) over a large AREA.
Cheers
Steve.

Thank you for the very useful tech tips and coaching from a multitude of willing to help fellow drivers to transform an absolute pig of a car 2 weeks ago into what i had today. You know who you are. If there was anything anybody saw me doing different today can you please let me know because i would really like to keep driving like i did.
Thanks as well to every body that turned up today for what was a great day both on and of the track. To have a good day on the track it needs to be fun off the track as well and it seems like Saturday is a good formula.
BTW Steve
BADWOMAN has expressed interest in having a drive today so with a bit more influence we may have another Lady racer.

Thanks for the racing today guys.. Was nice to run on the track at a decent hour.
Brad you must have an illegal motor, or my packs are past their useby date (they are at least 4months old which is bad in mod). Only a tenth between mod and 10.5!
Darren is here at home gettin the #%*@s cuase the track was good and he wasn't there... I expect the numbers will get better and better with travel now being less of an issue on saturday. I think the 2pm start time is good to (was that an accident?) along with double finals. Its just like the old eastern creek that we all used to love.
See you guys in a fortnight.

Great to see Lap records being broken and people setting PB's.
It was great to see people racing in a relaxed atmosphere, enjoying themselves with time for a chat and time to assist others with their setups.
Compared to Friday night the track had a higher traction level which assisted with great results for all. Hope the traction is the same next week.
Badman,
Good to see such a great result on the track, better than your BBQ antics.
Looikng forward to the next round.

Rocko, was running a team losi motor, and the previous one was a Speedpassion, if your got any other brands hand em over and I can see how they compare. Oh and that was running a year old Trackpower 20C lipo, not even the newer 25C version
And so far the Saturday atmosphere has been top notch, get more of a crowd and it should rival the feel of the old EC.
