I am entered and keen as mustard to get back to some door to door stuff

I am in chops and looking forward to picking up where we left off last season. Now to finish the work on the car I have been avoiding for 4 months.

I will be there, not sure which car yet.

21 entries!

has to be the largest and fastest MX5 Cup field assembled?

well done to all the organisers for making this happen

Looking forward to watching my first mx5 cup. Looks like it might be dry- fingers crossed.

Excellent effort and great racing by everyone! Was great to watch from the hill. Right through the field there was good close racing!
My favourite was watching Matilda come from the rear of the grid through the field in the last race in her fire breathing NB!

Yes a great day at the track and a heap of fun with goo clean racing.
Well done Dennis with a big PB on what I believe was a slow track.

good fun day with a great field. Well done to all the people involved in making it happen

well done Verne, your car and driving were very impressive yesterday. Hate to think how fast you are going to go on a quick track!

not my best days racing with a few car issues including melting an ABS sensor, vacuum line coming off the fuel pressure regulator resulting in a lean running car and a glowing red turbo after the cool down lap. Happy I didn't lunch my engine in the end

Thanks Cameron. Nice to just be able to take in home intact when there are issues. I think my car feels a lot stronger out of the corners than previously, I did actually change the inlet manifold to a flat top that Todd had lying around. I forgot about that so maybe that has been a help the cars mid range. Biggest improvement though since our first meet is May I believe to be is the improvement in my driving the seat time have given and having to push myself to try and compete with you.

The car runs nice an cool now although I did have a couple of issues myself at the end of races 2 and 4 which I think is an 18year old coil pack starting to complain about the life it has had in my car. Just luck this was right at the end of the race both times. Thanks for picking up my dislodged breather as well.

Personally I didn't know weather the track was fast or slow but the track day participants were saying many were well off their PB's. Looking forward to Round 2 and thanks again for your support of the 2017 series which will be a great year of racing.

Great photos as always Wilko. Thanks for posting them.

Yes it was a great day of racing! Most fun I've had in the seat for a while! Can't wait till round 2. Verne Your a bloody good steerer and your car is flying!! I'm going to have to come up with another way to beat you now, squeezing you out of a corner won't work now you know my tricks

I had to put two wheels on the grass at the kink the start of race 4 to not lose turn 2 to you so starting to learn mate. Your help with my car and my little turbo seem to have produced a good drivable package. Cheers.
