Nice shot Elmo, but you could have worn pants!
Seriously, a credit to you & Paula how the car looks, & best wishes to you both along with Mike & other invited drivers for the year.
Cheers, BL
P.S. I/we appreciate those comments there DT, thanks mate.

511P looked, and sounded, just great Craige, a real credit to you and your team. I thought the car and Mike performed very well for it's first skid. I think Mike's last race at Palmy was in the Teams Derby so I'm supposing it's a bit of a big step up for him. Awesome mate. A picture can sometimes tell a thousand words, so I'll let this one speak for itself, but 511P seemed to be hookin' up pretty good to me. More on GSTV board on Sunday afternoon.  image hosting gif |

I'll post a video of Andy McCabes win that show's 511P in action, and 79P smoking a bit - not sure if it was just a burst hose or something a bit more serious.  image hosting gif hosting images upload images |

The thing I was impressed with the most at the Pairs in Meeanee, was the drive it was getting out of the corners which was notably better than most ,where it was losing ground was entry and middle of corners which probably attributed to set up and Mike getting used to the car oh and also the gearbox issues ie jumping out of gear
