EXE TRACK DAY!!! woooohooooooo
EXE TRACK DAY!
WINTON 3KM - 21st March 2006
The EXE trackday at winton was great!!! i did 1:51sec for the 3km track (long)...
here are the list of the racer on the day... the fastest driver on the day is steven in integra DC2, but he is using desmond's timing device so his time came up under desmond... the lancer is a GSR. own by cully5. was running out of brake pads, but still managed to get decent times...
Steven was showing me the 'line' and some new techniques...
here was me getting off the track... lol i did that more than 10 times...

track wheels and tyres
i bought this love wheels and 17inch rims just for the track day.... and i sold my stock 17inch wheels... the reason is i need 17x7.5 to fit 225/45/17 semislick of bridgestone RE070... and my stock wheels are 17x6.5 (i still can use 225 but the sidewall will flex)
