FJ lap record: it is interesting to look back just three or four years to Peter Anstiss' (Uk) last visit when he laid down a lap record in the 1:49's. This last weekend, there were some 12 drivers under that mark, including Greg Thornton 1:44's and Noel 1:45's.
Peter Anstiss was consistently around the 1:46's, but remember, he was suffering from jetlag!
Our friend Roger Ealand's Koala is now in the hands of Mike Rowe. He didn't appear in racing on Saturday, but on Sunday achieved in the 1:57's.
Roger Herrick bent his chassis and is not loading this morning.
Max Pegram has a broken diff.
Robs Lamplough still sorting out the engine mixup.
Richard Bishop-Miller still has the fingers on his good hand crossed that he can fix his engine.
Joe Ricciardo (yes, father of Daniel) is going home. In spite of having his friend and mechanic Brett Lupton with him who has prepared a beautiful car, he's unhappy with his performance. This is his first trip away and I'm sure we'll be seeing more of him.
Not sure about Alan Cattle.
As you can see, attrition is rampant with these old cars being pushed beyond their years.
Rumour has it that Ruapuna in Christchurch has put all the Formula Juniors together on one grid. This could cause even more problems with cars of differing abilities racing at once. There are only 40 places on the grid, so not enough for all our cars. Mind you, at this rate of attrition, it might work!
