Hello Jak,

If you don't mind, I would like a copy too. I used to race with my friend's Toyota AE86 in China and I am now building a VW1303 for the race. There must be a lot for me to learn from you and your DVD. Can I email you my postal address?

Thanks and regards
Tim

Yesterday, I was feeling blue because ... well, because I'm an idiot who vacillates between taking life too seriously and not at all seriously, and ... okay, this is too off topic. Anyway, after my typical two hour commute home from work became 3:20, I looked inside the mailbox and there was a CD-sized package amongst the rubbish. I hadn't ordered or "won" on eBay anything recently, so I assumed it was some medical CD for my wife or something scholastic for my daughter.

Much to my delight, I saw it was addressed to me from Australia. I now knew exactly what it was as the only other connection I ever had with Down Under was my tennis coach of three years was Australian. I didn't change clothes or anything; I immediately popped the DVD into the laptop.

Very enjoyable!

When my wife and daughter came home the latter's piano lesson, they were fascinated as well even if their attention span was considerably shorter. They did pose a question I couldn't answer, though. How fast were you going?

I love track racing. No offense to those who like drag racing and oval tracks, but this is the stuff I really enjoy. And it brought me out of my stupid mood, too.

I'm going to show this to my mechanic when I get the chance. He sort of frowns on the idea of me wanting to GL a Super Beetle so I can feel happy on the highway.

Thank you very much, Jak!

I'm just glad that it actually got there! Don't worry, u will get sik of it.
The footage incar in the wet was 17 seconds slower per lap than in the dry, so it would a little faster in better conditions.
Top speed at the end of the track was only 175kph (108mph), but u can see the conditions just didn't allow me to get a better run onto the straight. In the dry I can hit 190kph (118mph), thats just allowing me enough time to get on the brakes before turn one.
This year I have bought myself a new digital video camera & I will take a few laps of everytrack throughout the year & compile another one.
With my new 2275cc engine it should be alittle faster too.
regards
Jak
