I have been doing it often since 1991.Once you have done 1 run, you will be doing u-turns & going again.On a busy day you should still get 4 or 5 runs.Usually on the winter wed night or sunday meetings you could do 10 -15 runs if u really want too. I think 4 -5 runs is enough to get your best time for the day.Any more than that & you are flogging a dead horse (so to speak)That said, I remember years ago my brother took his laser out & did 18 x 18 sec passes!!! ha ha Always a few slower cars there just having some fun.You guys can line up side by side so you can chose who you race against.I think the next Wed night meeting is next week on the 15th.The next Sunday meeting is on 3rd October - perhaps we should organise a small cruise out there for the day & have some fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxx Power Want E46 M3 Member 327 Member For: 22y 24d Location: Adelaide Posted 11/09/04 06:43 AM Share Posted 11/09/04 06:43 AM Got my car back on friday, repair work is not 100% terrific, but I am just glad to have it back. Colour matching is fine, there is just a scratch on the rear bumper (which is new - so how the HELL can that happen) and the area near the exhaust tip is a little dodgy where they have used bog to fix the bottom piece of the old bumper. Took it for a caning in the hills today with my mates following me (VY SS and '01 WRX). Went up gorge road, through chain of ponds, corkscrew, then stopped at Birdwood museum, went all the way round to Hahndorf and then down the freeway and down eagle on the hill. Ahhhh, so good to have it back.Whens the next cruise!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
