By the power of Greyskull, Gary & my Girlfriend i somehow organized a whole day of Hesketh all to myself

and thanks to Rob & Mike.

Mike is the Owner of R.Hesketh, he was telling me some interesting things... plans for Hesketh are on! its gonna be very cool, Spectator stands, pits getting moved to the Long straight, new armcos going up, re-tarring - not sure how much re-tarring, but atleast things are happening, i cant wait!!
Apparently some of the residents were moaning about the noise etc of the Cars on the track.. but when they saw the alternative... low cost housing in place of the track... they changed their tune

So it looks like KZN's motorsport future is 'ontrack'.. finally

shot guys, it was flippen awesome having no stress or pressure like during the events, learnt heaps.. ... but still need LOADS more track time!!! im even more keen now to go to the Rock for some Drift lessons... who's in?
In the whole day i managed only a couple of passes that i was happy with. Unfortunatly my rear suspension was on more of a grip setting, changed it yesterday, now slides much easier, and its easier to keep the slides momentum and it seems to need less revs to keep it loose. Also had my steering rack centered, was very off, this should allow me to get more angle when drifting around a right handers... but i'll need to invest in longer tie rods sometime... have to add them to my list.

...all in all i had more fun than anything, and like Ryan says, Fealt great to finally use the car for what its been primarily built for
