    Re: Honda Cup Round 3

    Yeah seen that RX8 before, maybe it comes in under "clubman" regs and doesn't require one, like some of those old "Trofeo" Alfa cars a while back?

    Re: Honda Cup Round 3

    Missed all of that,though they certainly could have done a better job with the rolling start. Ben next to me was third on the grid and was really pumped at the start and itching to get on with it!!! Steve Taylor did a really great job of keeping everything calm at the front.If he had jumped it - and I'm pretty sure I wasn't the only one wondering if they had changed the format of the start at the last minute - it would have been mayhem. Pays to have experienced drivers like him up front.

    Talking of mechanics, it would be good to profile one/some/any of them in the newsletter. Wayne is always there with his head under a bonnet, and Andrew Johnson sorted Dave Harker's car's CV after his own car did a big end. Met Nuttie's mechanic as well though missed his name....someone enlighten me? Hoping to have Nick from Speedfactor with me at Taupo as I'll have the little boy with me as the wife is in Pomgolia and I may just struggle otherwise! Mechanics are cool - where are they all????

    You mean the RWD V8 CL Accord?



    Very serious looking animal and sounded awesome.
    Weird how the guy was pitting along the road toward the building (dummy grid area) by himself when the pits were largely empty.

    Regarding that rolling start - I was playing to the Ref/Whistle. I could see Scotty running like a pro to get up to the control tower.
    However if ST was going, I was going!! The officials got the Reds out fairly quick so no dramas really.

    Re: Honda Cup Round 3

    To me it seemed like the front guys got so far ahead on the 'warm up' lap and they couldn't do a rolling start safely.

    Re: Honda Cup Round 3

    the rolling start made watching HEAPS more interesting - would of loved to be in the pack for that one

    still have to say that handicap just never seems to work though

    full reverse grid and the reverse top 10 is awesome, but despite the calculations it's been a long time since ive seen one work out - just my 2c

    seen advertising for the super tourers has started already for the feb meet!

    More than likely not. But would be nice to think it possible.
    I'm sure rules would state it must be RWD to begin with.

    They sold a HEAP of tickets for the first weekend at HD. Mind you, at $30 for two three day passes you will always sell heaps!

    Murph was buzzing about the cars.
