A vid of my car at the track (circuit) 56k beware.

Hey guys,

Had a track day on the weekend at Wakefield Park in NSW, Australia. A friend filmed this short vid with his digi camera. Quality isn't the best but it's ok... It's also hard to hold the camera straight!

9Mb, so 56K beware.

The day was awesome!

Yeah. I'm actually installing a half cage before the next track day. I'll either modify it with a camera mount or get get a temporary mount for such days.

I should point out that this particular track day was made up entirely of rotaries. We had cars ranging from an R100, a couple RX3s, heaps of 1st gen 7s, numerous FCs, a few FDs and about 6 RX8s. On top of that there were 2 FC bodied sports sedan racers, one with 12AT and the other a 20B PP. There was also a Lotus 7 replica with 13BT!

Made for an excellent day. Unfortunately I don't have any pics except this one.
