Lakeside Happy Laps - Sat 10/12/11 ($30)

[team_v]

Okay, let me know if you are coming or not.

$30 for lunch and 30 minutes around Lakeside (Pay on the day)
No clothing requirements as it is at at "road speeds" (110km/h max, up to 140km max on the main straight) however they are a bit lenient on this, within reason.
Anyone doing excessive speeds will be removed from the track.
Passengers are welcome
It is reccomended that we arrive between 11am and 11:30 for a briefing before heading onto the track about 12-12:30

We need a minimum of 30 people (for lunch only, can have less driving) to make this work and it is pretty bloody cheap :)
Also shouldn't be any worse than regular driving since you won't be maxing your car out for sweet lap times.

Lunch menu is as follows:
Steak and salad BBQ buffet
Selection of bread rolls
Rump steak
Chipolatas
Sautéed Mushrooms
Garlic potato bake
Tossed Salad
Coleslaw
Cost per person $30

[DonJuan]

110kmh??? i thought it ws 140ish???

are they only talking about the corners?

[team_v]

Checking on that for you now Don.
140 might be for QLD Raceway only.

[DonJuan]

sign me up, i've voted...

the straight bits are easy for people to get right...

the corners, not so...

[team_v]

140km is the upper limit for the main straight!

[Finance_Analyst]

I am in :-)

[seangti]

howdy, any idea of how many cars will be allowed on the track at any one time?

QR allow for passenger laps after the sprints, and they are meant to be low speed. Yhey are also quite relaxed with it and would be typical of driving the track at 80% pace (still more than you can drive on the street), which is much more comfortable for the passenger and also quite fun without ringing your car too hard.

Let me know about the car numbers, but I'll most likely come say hi.

I am finding this out now.

[team_v]

No limit to the number of cars you can have on track at any time however i don't expect we will have more than 20 or so.

Best bet is if we can get everoyne to bring their partner along to hit 30 people (15 cars)

Apparently the skyline club generally have 30-40 cars when they use it.

[brimway]

I would be up for this although 140 limit is a bit disappointing. Gotta be safe I guess

[STIDUB]

Clay - maybe you should of put you hand up for events/social/sporting person for the club :) - entry/$$$$ in earlier next time :P

[DonJuan]

I would be up for this although 140 limit is a bit disappointing. Gotta be safe I guess

agreed but what more can you expect when you dont need any safety equipment, long shirts, pants, helmet, etc... cheap way to have some basic fun... on a track and not on a road...

[VWindahouse]

+1 thanks :banana:

[brimway]

Valet mode and pedal to the metal

[Ben J]

I'm keen! Sounds like a good bit of fun. Keeping under that 140 down the straight will be hard though, the vr6 is only starting to get into the fun bit of the rev range in third there... Probably for the best though.

[55ASI GTI]

Count me in ! I did 160 down the straight & I was slow compared to others... :D seriously how are they going to know lol

[PTW]

Bugger, going to be away with work. Haven't driven Lakeside yet, would have been an excellent recce.

[team_v]

Thanks for the interest guys.
I have updated the list in the first post so we can tell how close to 30 people we have.

Unfortunately the limit is 140km on the straight but as Don pointed out you don't have any safety requirements and it's only $30 including food so if you want to do more then you'll have to upgrade to a track day.

This is basically just some fun without having to worry about police, some good food, great friends and a few laughs.


Please also let me know if you are bringing anyone with you because the 30 person limit is based on catering/food not the number of cars minimum.

[Tobes_WIR35]

DAMMIT!!!

Clashes with Foo Fighters concert :-(

Looks like I'm out....

[DonJuan]

i'm going to the fooies too... what time is the expected finish clay?

[Spec83]

I am in for this... cya all there!!

[brimway]

X 2 for me thanks Clay

[mikk]

i'm in for this!

gonna be in the sloooooow beetle. vw represent!

[team_v]

i'm going to the fooies too... what time is the expected finish clay?

I'll check with the people at QLD Raceway today but the track time will only go until around 1pm then you get lunch so i would say maybe 2pm at the latest?

It is lakeside as well so not all the way out at Ipswich!

Will let you guys know though when i find out today.

[team_v]

Checked with QLD Raceways (they have been extremely helpful with all of my queries)

Laps generally start at 12:30 and run for 30 minutes.
Lunch starts right after (at 1pm) and finishes whenever we want to leave (no more track time after lunch though)
Gates close at 5pm.

So Foo Fighters people should be able to make it, scoff a quick lunch for 15-20 minutes then blast off down the coast for the concert.
Alternatively, you just pay $30 and don't eat lunch :P


Brimway, am I right in inferring that you are bringing someone with you from your "x 2" comment?

[seangti]

Count me in too. Good excuse to catch up with a few fellow dubbers.

140km/hr anywhere other than the straight is still sufficiently fast for lakeside to have an enjoyable drive - and even then will be quick for beginners. You'll be giving it a bootful for 2/3rds of the track to reach that speed and the two hair pins are mid third gear corners, the left hander up the hill is likely to be second gear for most.

[team_v]

Added to the list.
If we don't make the numbers by Late November i do have contacts in the Lotus Club of QLD that i can try to get along.

[Evaded Motorsport]

Yep great value so will make it out.

[99_FGT]

Yep, count me in. Probably supposed to be working, but this can be my lunchbreak. Worst case scenario will just bring the boss...
Al..

[team_v]

Sweet, thanks for confirming mate :)

[Greg Roles]

I am so in!

Shame I will still probably be stock ECU, but then that's probably a good thing with stock suspension too!

[team_v]

Awesome Greg!
Added you to the list.

Probably a first for lakeside to have a diesel out there :P

[adamk]

if there is still space i am keen

[team_v]

Added you to the list Adam :)

[DreamensioN]

Count me in. It'll be good to meet some of you guys there. :)

[team_v]

Great news mate.
We'll see you there!

[adamk]

at this stage are we trying to keep this a VW day ? have a few mates that may be keen if we are needing numbers

[Mk3 AAA]

Probably a first for lakeside to have a diesel out there :P

Very much doubt that, there's a Polo TDi powered 7 getting around somewhere.

Have fun, awesome idea, get some pics too. I'd come but I don't think there's any point in bringing a FWD old A6 onto the track.

[team_v]

Trying to keep it VW only at this stage so i can work out the numbers from the forum.

If there are still spots free by December try me again and i will see what we can do for you.

FWD can still be fun to hurl around the track :P

[Mk3 AAA]

FWD can still be fun to hurl around the track :P

Not denying that for a second my little Golfie sold me on FWD (prefer RWD, but like the feeling of torque through the steering and the packaging advantages of front), but not so much when it's attached to a 1700kg car with a small 6cyl and "luxury" suspension.

[55ASI GTI]

In regards to catering, I'll be there with 2 kids (8 & 12), so they'll want to eat, so wondering the charge for them, please, with me paying the 30$ ? Ta :)

[team_v]

I've askd if we get a discount for children and if they are included in the 30 person minimum, will let oyu know the outcome as soon as I can.

QR have advised that children 12 and under are at a discounted rate of $10 however they don't count towards the 30 person total.

[josh182]

Of coarse I will be there. I've voted how do I add myself to the list?

[team_v]

I've added you to the list Josh!

[DreamensioN]

Hey Team_V, Jo (my wife) also wants to have a go, but not in her Tiguan (in my R). So - how does it work for both of us? Would it be $30ea, and we both get a 30min session? Or would we have to share the 30min session? Ideally we'd like to get a 30min session each.

[team_v]

Hi Mate.
I believe it would be $30 each and you would have to share the car.

The cost of the day is essentially to supply food and catering staff.
The 30 minute time limit is basically to allow us to use the track while the "whole day" group booking are on lunch break.

[DreamensioN]

Cheers for the reply. So - just so I'm clear, is it just the one 30min session we have access to the track for, while the other guys are on lunch?

Or are they taking a 1hr lunch, and us (the VW guys) will go out in 2 groups, to use up 2 x 30min slots?

Money is no problem - what I'm getting at is... will Jo & I have to share 1 x 30min slot (15min driving each), or will we be able to get 2 x 30min sessions each?

We only have access to the track for 1 x 30 minute session while the other guys are on their lunch.
If you both want to try the R then you will have to share the driving time (15 minutes each).

Having said that, if this goes well i will be organising another one so Jo can try it out later if you want the whole 30 minutes.

[brimway]

I am really confused now, hope you can clear it up. If 1 person attends alone, they pay $30 and have track access for 30 mins, but if 2 people attend, they each pay $30 but only have 15 mins track access.

Simple solution.... Jo stays home!

I'm joking Jo you know we think your awesome!

[Agolf 5hitstir]

Oh thats right, add me to the list guys I'm super keen!

[team_v]

We only have the track for 30 minutes.
If you have 2 people but they want to drive the same car then you can split it 2 x 15 minutes.
Alternatively, everone brings their own car and both people get to drive for hte full 30 minutes.

[brimway]

Gotcha now. I probably misled you. Originally I wanted to bring my niece in her MK IV, but coincidentally, she now can't make it so it will still be X2 for me but just one car.

Sorry for confusion.

[team_v]

No worries mate.
There isn't a lot of information known about the happy laps so this is a learning experience for everyone.
Hopefully by the end of it we will have a concise knowledge base for anyone who wants to organise it in the future.



Oh thats right, add me to the list guys I'm super keen!

Consider yourself added :P

[Finance_Analyst]

I will also have a +1 - thanks mate

[team_v]

Added the extra to the list.

So far we have 17 cars and 20 (+2) people for lunch!
Only 7 weeks to go!

[Guy_H]

We have run a few of these with the Porsche club - it's a great introduction to the circuit under controlled circumstances. Those who have not tracked before will enjoy it.

Thanks for the input Guy.
The main reason i am organising it is to get everyone an introduction to driving on the circuit and to see how their cars were built to perform without having to worry about pesky speed limits and police.

[Guy_H]

It's the perfect format for that!

[Greg Roles]

I'm already stocking up on mothballs....:cookie:

Technically yes, however as was pointed out earlier you would be hard pressed to go any faster than that comfortably around lakeside anyway :P

[DonJuan]

i have never heard of a racetrack to be 'comfortable'???

actually, really looking forward to this day, it'll be a great chance to meet heaps of vw-lovers and a good intro for people into track days...

[brimway]

Do you want more vids of the back of your car, or will I go in front of you?

[DonJuan]

be interesting to see my front end...

glad you didn't mention side-on!

[55ASI GTI]

QR have advised that children 12 and under are at a discounted rate of $10 however they don't count towards the 30 person total.
Alrighty, thank you, we shall all be there = $50 for us

[wannabee]

I'll come and +1. Thanks :)

[VR6pitcrew]

We're in with Lucy :) ( 2 people)
Put us on the list

[team_v]

Added you guys to the list.
We are at 19 + 4 extra's :)

[seangti]

If we need an extra couple and aren't worried if they aren't dubbers, I could probably have 2 others join us. I'll get em to pre-pay me so they turn up (or if they don't gives us more room on the track :))

At this stage I am pretty sure we will hit the 30 person minimum but if we don't i will let you know.

Cheers.

[Spec83]

I think I'll be a +1 now too.. My brother-in-law is keen to come with his Type R too if we are skinny on numbers

Will also keep you in mind if numbers are short.

I'm pretty keen to come along too. There may be a +1, but lets keep it at just me for now.

[team_v]

We now have 20 drivers and 8 passengers (2 kids) so we are almost at the minimum cut off point for numbers.

Great work people!

[maca]

Count me in Clay, I'm surprised I haven't seen this earlier!

Not sure what car I'll be in, but I'll be there.

[team_v]

Consider yourself on the list maca.

Jettadore or Amarok is okay.
Amarok would be sick to chase me around :P

[VWindahouse]

Plus 1 passanger for me please!

[team_v]

[Ironman]

Lock me in too.....

Am i correct in assuming it's you + 1?

[Ironman]

Yes hence the +1. lol

[h100vw]

I'll come down for a go, please add me to the list.

Just me, happy to take pax out though if anyone wants a ride. Been a long time since I went on a track, probably in my Golf GTI G60.

Gavin

[h100vw]

I am so in!

Shame I will still probably be stock ECU, but then that's probably a good thing with stock suspension too!

This could be sorted out for you. ;)

[DonJuan]

This could be sorted out for you. ;)

I only have stock suspension...

[swalee]

Add me in, Clay.

[h100vw]

I only have stock suspension...

I was talking about the power. Standard suspension isn't that big a hindrance,if you are on the street most of the time.

Gavin

[team_v]

Added everyone onto the list.

Great work people, we now have 24 cars and 31 people attending (+2 children) so we have hit the magical 30 we need for the day.

If this works out well and we want it to be a more frequent thing (once per quarter etc) then i will be more than happy to organise it.

Going to let the guys at Akeside know today that we have our 30 person minimum reached!

Thanks for getting behind this!

[Greg Roles]

I only have stock suspension...

Stock GTI Pirelli suspension > Stock GT TDI suspension!

You are a bad influence Gavin....

Wonder how much love we'll be sending when he blows past a lot of us in the mega-Tig??

[brimway]

Easy answer .... NONE

Don't worry Greg, you'll be able to slip by me as i body-roll my way through the corners :P

[maca]

I have to put Dave (Silver R32) down for it as well.

[team_v]

I'll add him to the list (dmac.:R)????

[STIDUB]

im keen :) - doubtful on any +1's

[team_v]

Added you to the list mate!

I may be able to keep up with the pack now that I have the APR Stage 1 installed! Watch out guys and gals!!!!

[Jonny G60]

Put me down, i'm up for a bit of that!!

[team_v]

Done and done!

[Finance_Analyst]

Out of interest, does anyone advise doing an oil change after this? I know we are not going all out but, assuming it will be a hot day and we will be fanging it, is it a good idea?

In any event, I am doing mine as the car will be 6 mths circa 5,000km by then so all good (already booked in for the following Monday!)

You wont need to do any oil change. You will be fine. If you pamper a car too much it will turn into a girl and break. :)

[55ASI GTI]

You wont need to do any oil change. You will be fine. If you pamper a car too much it will turn into a girl and break. :) Youre only on the track for max 30 mins if you dont come off to give the car a breather....

I'm down for me +2 kids, the 2 wont be coming now, so it's just me, if you can adjust your numbers please. Thanx :)

[team_v]

Updated the list.
Only 4 weeks to go :P

That said, in a street car, the track can be pretty punishing. My last decent non helmet track day in my old BA GT had the power steering boiling over, the brakes gone, and the tyres like bluetack after 10 decent laps!

[Tarmac]

Thats because it weighs 3 tonne AND its a Ford. :P

[Greg Roles]

I must admit there was a lot of wheelspin action that day.....:cookie:

[Tarmac]

Id hope so :)

you have an air filter over me...lol

[Jmac]

Add me in if im not too late, ill take my A3 1.8T or the 4mo, A3 is going up for sale but im sure i can hold it till after then, been a struggle to post it up for sale as it is as its so much fun. Anyway Im in if i can and maybe take the wife if she is keen.
Cheers
Jmac

[Merrick]

I am in if I am not too late

[team_v]

Added everyone in.
31 cars on the track :)

[Tarmac]

Be like peak hour traffic....

[DonJuan]

you are right ben...

Clay, can you cancel me as i don't think it's going to leave me enough tiome to get ready and down to the fooies... you have plenty of numbers so cancelling shouldn't be a prob... let me know if it is.

[team_v]

Consider it done Don.

30 cars on track now.

Bear in mind that not everoyne will be going all out and some may not be out for the whole time etc.

30mins going around in circles is enough, so while it may start with lots of people, give it 15-20mins and people may have had sufficient time circulating (can only hope :))

Are they running 2 groups? If not, everyone will be out at the same time. After all, thats the main reason we are there. Doesnt matter too much anyway as we arent allowed to go flat out, hence happy laps. As long as nanna's pull off to let people pass. :P

Just 1 group as far as I am aware but i believe people will have slow laps and time off to re-compose themselves etc.

yeah i will be in need for that. Will need to go slow for a few laps so it feels fast again after :)

Should be good fun. be great to meet local qlder golfers

[Ben J]

There wont be anything but slow laps in my little 1.8 putting down a massive like 60kw! haha. Was hoping to have the vr6 swapped in by this but it wont be. Will probably even be on stock suspension still. Those limited speeds will probably be all the little grandma spec thing would want to do anyway.

Very keen though, should be fun.

No worries mate.
I see this as more of a fun break out on a track where we can drive at 7/10's and not have to worry about speed cameras and all that jazz while enjoying some speed.

If anyone wants anthing more than that (or less cars) then they will have to organise a track day.

[brimway]

+1 7/10ths is fine by me, I don't want to hurt my baby. I'm in it for the fun

[Ben J]

That's exactly how I see it too, should be perfect.

One thing I meant to ask... Do you need to have a certain type of drivers license or be of a certain age or anything? Would hate to drive all the way down to realise I wasn't allowed on because I'm only 18 and on green p-plates...

I cant directly answer that but i couldnt see it being a problem. We are racing each other and passing like idoits, its a private event. But its a good thing you asked. Im cure Team-V will answer.

I have been advised that there are no restrictions for P Plate drivers so we are all good!

[Ben J]

Alright, thankyou very much for that. Appreciate it :)

[Guy_H]

If anyone is around Lakeside tomorrow, we are running the time attack in the Golf R - Probably last event for the year! - need to hassle some EVO's & GTR's :)

[PeanutButterWolf]

Would love to come check it out too! Hope the time works out :)

[55ASI GTI]

Bummer, that wouldve been good to watch

[Guy_H]

Man, It was Hot & Humid out there, but it was nice to get some laps in :)

[adamk]

The current weather doesn't point to much turbo car fun but I'll still be there

Only 12 more days to go!

Got my video camera in time to capture some of the action as well.

[seangti]

Yup, will be air con on if it's this warm. If it's going to be slow laps, might as well be comfortable :-)

un/fortunately QR has been resurfaced recently and the tarmac hasn't curred as quickly as expected, so no sprints this weekend, postponed to mid January. Not that it'll be any cooler in 6weeks.

[Illutible]

Hello, am I too late for this?

Not definite, but quite keen...

Should be fine!

[Finance_Analyst]

may sound a bit of a dumba$$ q, but given the number of cars out there, is there going to be some sort of grouping whereby we split them into 3 groups of 8, and each gets time on the track? I can only imagine 25+ cars may have a high risk of an accident (even minor)....

As far as I am aware there will not be a grouping unless we specifically organise one.
The Skyline club regularly have between 40-50 cars in attendance and seem to have no problems according to the QR guys.

So long as people stick to the rules and pay attention there shouldn't be a problem (we do get taken over the rules before the happy laps)

Also, it isn't a race, more just a chance for a spirited drive and a feel for the track.

[Guy_H]

A couple of laps from last week -to give you an idea of track layout.


http://youtu.be/HqrEtxfhE0I

[team_v]

Thanks for the video Guy.
I am sure it will provide some learning for a few members.

[Greg Roles]

...albeit at a somewhat slower speed!

Afraid I'm out, am in stuck training that weekend now, sorry I have to miss it all!!

No worries Greg.
Have taken you off the list.

[55ASI GTI]

Hey, so wondering when we have to be there by ; and where are we grouping before getting on track?

Also, I ran in happy laps with the Skyline club with in the vicinity of 30 cars +... and all good, no dramas, the cars spread out pretty quickly ; common sense prevails for allowing faster cars to get past you... so hopefully everyone has that :)

[STIDUB]

heeey, unfortunate news! i hit a roo with my tig a few weeks ago & its FINALLY going in for repair this week, im not holding my breath to get it back in time, so can i remove my yes & exchange it for a maybe? ...wonder what kind of hire car i can get :rolleyes:

Reccomended arrival time is 11:15 - 11:30 for a 30-60 minute briefing, then happy laps then lunch.




STIDUB, noted you as a maybe.

QR have advised they need the numbers today so I have forwarded them the list.
Unfortunately that means we won't be able to add anyone else on to this event however if it goes well we will likely hold another one in the new year.

Thanks for all your help guys and remember to bring your $30 per person on Saturday.

[DreamensioN]

Looking forward to this weekend!!

[team_v]

Weather forecast is for a few showers and 28 degrees.
If it's anything like it has been the last few weeks we should have a nice dry track!

[Illutible]

Sorry, please take me off the list. Looking very unlikely.

[team_v]

At this stage I can't add any more numbers to the list since QR have been given the numbers.
If someone else pulls out before Friday though we can see about fitting them in.

[jimarco]

I would like to come along to this as well, if there are any cancelations could you please let me know.

[team_v]

I'll keep this thread updated with any changes but at this stage i can't take any more people on as final numbers have been given to QR and the thread has been on the forum here for about 6 weeks.

[Dmac.:R]

So keen give the r a squirt.

[team_v]

So keen give the r a squirt.

I know exactly how you feel mate.

That is the main reason i am trying to organise this for everyone.

Give people a chance to push their cars a little harder than road use without having to worry about police etc

[jimarco]

I could not commit until this week due to work and other things going on, however, I am free now so would love to get to this one. If not will look at the next one then.

Cheers

I understand your point.

Unfortunately QR require numbers a week in advance and they have already been lenient enough with the changes we have made.

If this event works out there will definitely be others in the future.

[seangti]

Howdy, any thoughts on whether they'll let us run with the rain? I'd imagine that they would but if we have people that never tracked before and it's pouring rain, I respectfully ask that you don't drive anywhere near me :-)

Having done plenty of track days without limits, in the rain, in the UK. I never found that to diminish the grip more than a little bit. You had to drop the speed in the corners by 5mph. Of course, I am not the Stig, so anyone daft enough to listen to me is on their own, once the flag is up.

If you can get the inside line, most folk will be understeering off the outside.:cookie:

Having said that, I am getting another pair of tyres fitted on the S3 this arvo, just in case there's standing water.

Gavin

[team_v]

Weather forecast is for possible showers on Saturday so fingers crossed it will be localised and not on the track.
Either way we will be having a full pre-track briefing on code of conduct etc so nothing should go wrong even with a wet track.

Hi Guys, more bad news we will have to drop out too, so sorry, really don't like letting you down.
We are building the new double garage/showroom slab went down a week ago, all good, bobcat finally turned up on Wednesday just as the heavy rain arrived.
Got a look this morning, omg, mud mess!!! not happy, we have so much to do the now before next Wednesday when the garage is being delivered. far out didn't need this :(
Hope you can get someone to replace us.
Again so sorry.

[seangti]

there's quite a bit of space around lakeside once you past the front gate, perhaps we group on the outside of the track to the right hand side of the entrance? Hopefully weather is similar to today.

No worries guys, i know things like this are bound to come up when you least desire them.
Hopefully you can make it to the next one.

I have updated the list, we now have a total of 33 people (27 cars)
So long as we stay above 30 people and everyone brings their money we should be sweet :)

I had an awesome time - will post some pics later on.

[team_v]

Well a big thank you must go out to all those who turned up on the day.
Everyone seemed really at home on the track (including the b3 passat, beetle and mk 3 tdi)

I did bring the video camera but the battery was flat so i will have to work on it for next time.
I have already emailed the guys and asked if they have any free dates in January or February for us.

Keep an eye on the events section for the next one.

Can't wait to see the pictures too.

I was thinking about posting in here but I was having brake problems with my car. Got it fixed on Thursday.. would've been nice to come to this but maybe next time.

slowly but surely i'm uploading a video to youtube. good thing is that most cars make an appearance in the vid.

Thanks heaps for organizing the day clay. It was awesome and everyone seemed to have fun. Will be down for the next 1 for sure. The mk3 was awesome fun to watch, i would of like to have had a go in that thing. Got a little brake fade on the last lap so it was perfect timing to stop. Awesome day.

[h100vw]

And another Thanks to Clay. I am in for the next one too. Half an hour was just enough time to overheat the brakes in mine. I was going to back off and tour around until we got called in but the Ute beat me to it.

Thanks Clay for organizing and enough people coming! Great day having the clouds part for long enough to dry the track, and good to meet most of you all for the first time in person, instead of head turning when I see of y'all blasting past out on the roads.

I was hoping to get the Torque app on my phone recording video and gps for the laps but the dash mount was bust, and consequently gave up on the idea this time round.
Looking forward some more pics soon.

The RPF1's make a world of difference even in 19" form.
Steering feels a lot more responsive.

Nice video :) Didn't make an appearance in it though, think the mk3 at the end was the tdi one.

Someone said they got a shot of me just when we got out of the cars... did anyone actually get one? I'd really love to see what it actually looked like from outside of the car :P


Forgot to mention before, a highlight for me was when the black r32 flew past me down the straight, most amazing thing I have ever heard.

Wow this seems like an awsome day.

No licence needed, no skid lid or car requirements. And sooo cheap! Jealous...

Did anyone get any action/moving shots? Brendan, how'd Sandras pics turn out?

We are away on holidays at the moment. I'll sift through them on Saturday when we get back.

Thanks for the video!

I had no idea my car was so loud (6:29) Go team red!

Is there a second part to the video?

That is what i was thinking too.
However the camera only took videos in 10 minute lots and there wasn't really a chance to get out and start it again.


We were speaking about muffler options and after i saw the video i don't think you need anything :P

Looking forward to the pictures this coming weekend.

Glad everyone had a good time & stuck on the black stuff!

Hopefully I can make the next one.

yep, only one video.

all i had to do was hit the button after 10min but i forgot all about it.
