MX5 Mayhem at QR on Saturday

[Cal]

This is turn one at QR in the final race of the day of Saturday's V8 Supercar support race. Blue car puts old mate in the black car into a spin at very high speed. How nobody hit is anyones guess. I'm #44 and I was certain I was going to T-bone him. Was able to pull hard left and avoid at the very last second. CT is the orange car and neil-205mi16 is the fluro green one.

Thanks to Marshall Cass for the proofs

nice dodging looks like fun....plenty of cars

any ideas if the races will be televised? (SBS maybe?)

[Cal]

That's less than 1/2 the field. There were 29 cars at the start of the weekend.

I highly doubt it as channel 7 were filming.

Fark eyyy... the only time you'll see tyre smoke from an MX5??

Any pics of CT punting you??

[oxy]

What is it with MX5 drivers smashing each other in the ass?

He is giving me a little love tap in the middle of all that somewhere. Sneeky bastard thought he'd stick it in my bum while I was distracted.

[Chad]

whoa, finn is in front of ferribee there!! Van roden punted the guy around huh???

[Cal]

Yeah Kerry was on fire with his new motor. Yep Henri hit Russell in the black car in the lunge down the inside.

Nice dodging, not easy though there as usually there is not much grip to spare

The black car did not have his brakes locked up did he. That 'spin in one place and then have the car roll out of the spin' is not nice.

I was heading down the inside and realised I could slide wide into him, so whipped it to the outside, which you can see in the last shot.

Gets you going that sort of thing does'nt it Cal, some clown in a WRX once passed on the outside in turn one then spun and slid sideways down the track in front of me

[jezza323]

i had an alfa spin in turn 1 and end up rolling backwards across in front of me once too

i saw him go round and came to an almost stop as there was another car outside of me....heart was going though

[Cal]

Wasn't a black Alfa Sprint by any chance?

Cal.

[jezza323]

nah was an old red liftback looking one at a saturday sprints...

[Uncle Arthur]

Ha ha, the notorious 'wide body' black Alfa Sprint

[Cal]

He nearly took me out on a number of occasions when I used to do the Saturday sprints in the AE86 and BRG MX5.

Cal.

[bernie-rx7]

Holy Shit! That was close....phew! Looks like a pretty big race too.

[jezza323]

Ha ha, the notorious 'wide body' black Alfa Sprint

hahahaha, if tyres sticking out the body with some alloy glued on to make em fit "inside" the guards is a widebody...

[F|sh]

yeah this is the notirous red alfa wide body...

[jezza323]

thats a whole lot better than the black one we have up at the saturday sprints

[F|sh]

having been used as a mobile chicane by this one is scary.

you do 1:15 and he does 57's.....

[Cal]

you do 1:15 and he does 57's.....

What track are you talking about?

Cal.

[F|sh]

barbagallo Cal

sorry should of made that clearer.

[Billzilla]

Don't ya love turn one?

It's hard enough running around by yourself, with all the bumps and so on, let alone with 400 other cars.
Good job keeping clear mate.

[Cal]

Your mate Ash was having a nice time playing out in the dirt there.

Cal.

[CT]

The bit Cal didn't mention was that neither he nor I knew who we'd had contact with! There was so much dust and shit in the air, that I had no idea who I'd hit until after the race when Cal found orange paint on his blue bumper......suffice to say that kinda gave it away. I got a crappy start and I wonder had I stayed around 4th where I started on the grid, whether I was the one who would have been turned around...glad it wasn't.
