Yeah that was a royal FU on my behalf - actually was changing down into nuetral and went one too far into reverse but the point at which it was stationary for a split second completed my pitstop....FFS and then i reverse into you . Sorry man I didn't see who i hit.
So all of that meant that my driver swap with Diesel didn't occur and we had to do another lap

Other than that a pretty good night unitl our left rear popped with 1.5 las to go - creating a few nervous spins and rear enders

ah well on to next week and the chicane of pain

Questions.
1. How was the format Pro/Am?
2. How did it compare to the last DSS?
3. Did we like lots of stops, or would we prefer fewer?
4. Did it make a difference having a fast and a slower driver in each car?
5. Does anyone know a good seamstress for my torn party frock?

Well all in can say is sorry too Andy we had in the bag his first stint gave us a 8 sec lead,when i took over it came back too about 6 sec i worked hard to get it back to 7 sec has Tassie was driving very well.
just getting ready for a change over to give it back too Andy to pull away again when DISCO sorry Mate bloody net shits me to hell.
Once again sorry Andy.

1. i like it
2. had a different feel to it being pro/am you didnt have 2-3 pro drivers blitzing the field in the one car. i felt the racing was closer for longer.
3. not sure on this one, was good getting a go for even time but the pit stops can get annoying after too many times. maybe 3 stints with offsets for each round eg: driver a driver 2stints one round and one the next and vice versa for next round.
4. yes, made it a bit fairer for us clubbies getting a taste of driving up the front (most of us).
5.

1. How was the format Pro/Am?
Excellent IMO, I was shitty at my performance but I love the format

2. How did it compare to the last DSS?
It's different, but for the better IMO

3. Did we like lots of stops, or would we prefer fewer?
Definitely lots of stops, more action, more to think about, more chance of errors and therefore drama

4. Did it make a difference having a fast and a slower driver in each car?
Yes, it was more dynamic, as Beno said there were no teams just blitzing everyone

5. Does anyone know a good seamstress for my torn party frock?
Yes, my mum is very good. At sewing too I believe.

1. Good
2. Better from where I sat
3. Lots of stops, maybe even bigger windows so we dont all pit at once.
4. Lots better to mix it up, although we were fairly close in lap times if i recall correctly
5. I like you with your frock dirty and torn and your hair all messed up. But the skid mark in your panties was a bit much

1.Bloody top idea.
2.Dont think i raced!
3.I felt the number of stops was perfect because it kept the race closer with a higher risk of COCKING (nothing against the chook lol ) up.
4.it was great because it felt like it made us clubbies go that little bit harder and that little bit more cleaner racing.
5. Greggy apparently lol

top night all in all. Harky dont worry mate shit happens. it was bloody funny to be honest.

Questions.
1. How was the format Pro/Am?
After my first: "Booo this is gunna suck" It was very enjoyable.

2. How did it compare to the last DSS?
Can't remember the last one, or even if i was part of it...

3. Did we like lots of stops, or would we prefer fewer?
Lots of pitsops. Maybe spread the window pit window open a lap or 2. When we're all pitting at the same time, or within a lap, it's hard to be strategic IMO.

4. Did it make a difference having a fast and a slower driver in each car?
It did make a difference, and the racing was very fun. Though I think maybe next time (if there is a next time) use the seedings graph and pair people to their performance in reverse. i.e. #1 driver in group A teams with #15th (or whatever) in group B.

5. Does anyone know a good seamstress for my torn party frock?
Just borrow Gizmo's, I'm sure he has a spare laying around.

6. ????

7. PROFIT!!!!

Questions.
1. How was the format Pro/Am?
Definately great fun, more dynamic, working as a team is also a new thing, trying to motivate each other through the race.

2. How did it compare to the last DSS?
Dont know, never done one before.

3. Did we like lots of stops, or would we prefer fewer?
The amount of swaps we did was perfect, and i reckon the windows are perfect too. The closer the windows the more people pit at once = crashes , caboodles of fun and drama.
4. Did it make a difference having a fast and a slower driver in each car?
Yes of course it made a difference, the race was a lot closer.

5. Does anyone know a good seamstress for my torn party frock?
Yes...

1. Loved it and there should be more of it.

2. Didn't do it, but have done a few AAL enduro driver swaps..

3. We liked lots of stops, as I said above done a few AAL enduro's and find this is better with even stints, because if your the slower driver(like I usually am.) you end up spectating for most of the race, like when we did a few 3 hour races when we could do 1 hour stints one driver is driving for 1 hour and the other gets to do 2 hours, I guess some dodn't like to drive for too long where as I love the challenge of concentrating for longer periods.

4. yes, like eryone else has said it kept the racing closer, and each of us had a challenge in each of our stints instead of a white wash.

5. Just don't wear one.....Mmmmm NOT!!


And Jas well done mate you gave us a good gap, a bit of a shame about Russ and Andy though it would have been better to have MAYBE caught them and gotten the lead, but take any win I can get. And as for the rest of the race I was happy with my pace and consistancy, but I did have a slight stuff up on the first driver change when I swapped over from you, if you remember I stalled the engine and had to scramble for the 'I' key to restart it and this time put a few revs on before I let the clutch out, then I had to watch out for everyone else entering the pits, that part was fun, looked just like a V8 Supercar pit scramble and having to watch out for entering cars.....LOVED it

good fun that race. top job ozbees
think like the other driver swaps this one will be fun as. like the format, didnt like the amount of pit stops. but didnt really bother me that much just wanted to stay in the car for longer
was having a good lil run with diz until he got d/c'd. bad luck guys, back luck russ and andy to.

I had a good nights racing. Talon qualified 8th with a time I would like to be able to do and drove a good first stint and a quick pitstop. I drove my stint by trying to stay consistent and not damage the car. Talon let me know the pit strategy and I tried to change what I had and almost lost a place and some ground to the 2 ahead. Sorry Talon I couldn't change my pitstop settings and that cost us 20-25 seconds. Talon came out 10th and worked up to 8th before pitting. A good pitstop and I drove to the finish and we finished 7th. Happy with that,

1. A good format
2. First one on MNR
3. Personally prefer less
4. Closer racing next one should be closer
5. Yellow Pages?

1. Loved it. Gives the Am's an opportunity to learn where they can improve and become faster.

2. This is my first.

3. I think that was pretty good. Liked the fact that the stints were of equal lengths. Would like to see the pit window extended to 4 laps instead of just 2.

4. Definately. Even though it was the same race, most of the clubbies drove the same stint and visa-versa.

5. Rip it off and go shirt less.

yeh i was just laughin that i accidentally pressed kick tassie, instead of t, then when i did, u stalled the car and i was like oh no! haha.

stats bump.

Also
1. How was the format Pro/Am?
Loved it, love ya work chicken.

2. How did it compare to the last DSS?
Better, but I didn't race in it or know any details about it.

3. Did we like lots of stops, or would we prefer fewer?
Lots of stops!

4. Did it make a difference having a fast and a slower driver in each car?
Actually I thought it worked well, I showed inter how to bounce of walls and other cars properly, I think he learned a lot...

5. Does anyone know a good seamstress for my torn party frock?
Ummm, no but I can lend you one of mine....
