    Cooker,
    Bathurst is awesome! If you can make it @easter it is well worth the travel. NOTHING compares to the mountain it is the craziest roller coaster ride you'll ever take!
    Glad you enjoyed the vid. I'm going back there in 2010 with more grunt so i'm planning on scaring a few over 2L cars.....

    If you're pushing hard through the last turn, you'd come very very close to the outside wall on exit
    Leonard,
    I used to regularly scrape the rear view mirror on my Torana along the wall on a "hot lap" I'm a little more cautious with the Civic as i'm still not comfortable with the cars handling.

    nice cars,,that proconcept car looks like it s going to end up in the wall,,scary to race with people like that
    Dart,
    Yeah, it looks a bit like that hey!!!
    But the guy driving the white Proconcept Civic is a multiple NSW and national championship winner.... I rate him VERY HIGHLY as a driver. The reason his car looks so unstable is that it was his first outing in a FWD car and by his own admition was struggling with getting his head around the way they swing the tail around like a dog.Was funny watching him struggle with it for a bit...

    From watching those clips, you guys like to use alot of ripple strips. Can you explain why you do that? Im abit more tentative when using ripple strips.
    Benson,
    I use the ripple strips because they are there and I can! But really... Often the line we use in a race is far from the optimum "fast" line, this depends on weather you are defending/attacking or perhaps even side by side racing with someone. There is a fair bit of give and take in a lap when you race door to door.
    "Understeer you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer you hit the wall with the rear of the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you."

    I know that there is a few racers coming across the sandpit for next year so maybe you could catch a ride with someone? Also there is often some of the saloon car guys that will book a transporter for the trip,might be a space avaliable on there??? Then catch a cheap flight and you're away!
    Still not cheap, I know, but hell...... It's Bathurst!!!!

    Not quite true, Greg. Bob bought my EG6 Civic and drove it at least once either late last year or early this year. It was his first drive in THAT car!
