First run in the new max
weather held out for only 4 runs though 
And then got closed early.
'96 5-speed, Y pipe
Track was wet and slippery, so 1st gear and bit of 2nd were pretty much wasted.
When I first got there we all had to go up and down the track in a loop, swerving side to side, warming up tyres style, to try and wick up the water and remove a bit of the slick.
Fastest run was a 15.88, with a dry track I think I could get low 15s (old auto cefiro got 15.4, faster is defintely possible. Bugger is I always think of something different to try for the next run but when lined up I forget till the end of the run in all the excitement. And then they close the track :O
15.99 .681 144.95 Km/h WIN 1st Run - Nissan Sylvia
16.63 .786 146.46 Km/h WIN 2nd Run - Turbo Familia Sedan
16.01 .514 148.64 Km/h LOSS 3rd Run by 0.056 - V8 Ford Ute
15.88 .610 146.75 Km/h LOSS Final Run by 0.011 - V8 Ford Ute
Camera is just a point'n'shoot Panasonic Lumix 7mp, I've gone it on a little tripod which I flip upside down and electrical tape to my rear vision mirror. I'm going to aim it more side ways next time so I get the other lane to if close race
