Default Lap Time predictions !!!!!

Hi guys how about some lap time predictions for the nats this year . Assuming fine weather and above freezing temps.
Whether it is to beat your personal best or to set a new time in a newly modified or new car.
i personally hope to get close my personal best which was set in the celica sports sedan 2 years ago. 1:06.0.
i could not have got any closer to a 5 .

Remember set your self a doable time but not an easy time.

Despite having some intensive driver training since last years Nats, Gav "Bunnings Warehouse" Irvine is not feeling too confident. When asked the following questions:

* Do you think ttenroca will be faster AGAIN this year?
* Will ttenroca's extensive mods since last year (new stickers and an oil change) make him go even faster?
* Am I really a bit of a sheila for driving an auto?

His response was a resounding "YES" as can clearly be seen in the following video:

Will be my first year so who knows

Winton is 3km and Wakefield is 2.2km (73%)

Can do 1:40 at Winton so I guess a 1:13 at Wakefield would be about right (?)

Looking forward to my first Nats

LoBelly

edit: pretty sure Gav will agree with those maths too

We know you love it as you are always the first to help out when someone needs assistance. At Morgan Park Raceway a few weeks back everytime I turned around you were helping someone out. And I certainly appreciated the loan of the tools. I reckon I owe you a beer or two at the Nats.

Looks like I will have a mystery co driver - so another one I have to try and beat. It will be a challenge though.......I dont want to say too much, but some say that the outline of his left nipple is exactly the same shape as the Nürburgring, and he can open a beer bottle using only his testicles....

You may need to wire brush your car first, get some of that concrete off?
