    Saw you in that shirt. Thought it may have been a ROOZ member. Should have said hi.

    Doubt I could convince the handbrake. Would love to though. The guy from Nissan said the third day is the slowest.

    I didn't meet anyone again... which was strange.

    I still didn't see any ROOZ shirt, lol. I thought about grabbing some stickers and chucking them on a cap, lol, but I thought it would look silly.

    Shame that the Cameron I talked to was not you @CTRacing

    When I was lining up, I heard someone explicitly say 'T B Williams', but I never found out who said it, LOL.

    Anyway first run of the day (5th run in total) I got a 1:11.0 which sorta sucked, but then I got the 1:10.024, which funnily enough was well within qualifying time of today. Thank goodness I also beat my school colleague's time from yesterday (second Michael) by one tenth, as I was getting :):):):) for it, lol. Considering that he was in Sydney, so he had at least 3 or 4 more runs than I did on the same track and car combo, I'm most pleased. Also, unless first Michael got into the 1:09s today, that also beats him, which is good, because our first runs ever attempted were a 1:12.9 and a 1:12.7 (me). Finally, I deliberately didn't go for any more runs because of the new number queuing system, and I didn't need to. I really wanted to be the first to get a 1:09, and I would have got it too if I had another run, but I guess proper competitors need more chances, so that's fine. Just an additional reason to be pleased.

    As I said to most people who were around, I'm not coming in tomorrow. Just happy that I proved myself, so maybe @emmo46 won't try and put me in Div2 or Div1B now after this terrible season I had, lol.

    Finally, every single person I talked to was so genuine and friendly. It's incredible to see with my own eyes how good the sim racing community is. I know other communities first hand and they're nothing close.

    Anyway, I've got a year to train up now... Fun grueling times ahead. Keep me posted here throughout the Nationals!

    Well done @CTRacing, for someone that only started sim racing a couple of weeks ago those times are crazy good. See you in Div 1 next season mate! Wish I still lived on the Goldy at times like this, wound have been fun to get involved.

    CTracing finished with a 10.8xx from memory.

    What were you wearing @Crunch?? Was keen to see a few more ROOZ faces. As had said before I was wearing a striped Broncos shirt.

    The tall kid with the red backpack. A maroon coloured shirt (cf. Maroons), orange shorts that are actually swimmers, and thongs. I had a pink highlighter in my mouth sometimes, haha (not really, but I had a pink highlighter).
