I recently commisioned Miro @ Mipo Design to draw me a bespoke hand drawn picture of the Sled. The guy has mad skill. Heres a few shots of what hes drawn me. He has done plenty of awesome car drawings with everything from subies to yank classics and everything in between. His attention to detail and skill is amazing. Check out the reflections in the windows and paint etc, and the detail in the headlight. Looks just like the photos. So good.

I didnt know he sold em. I thought he did wheel alignments / chassis setup? I fwel a bit bad now, im always picking his brain when i see him. I think i will get him to set up my car now that ive get the tyres here.

That drawing is incredible! I thought it was one of those apps that make photos look like drawings. It's amazing!

Wow those tyres look epic!

Another fun day at RAC / MC motorsport WA Sprint Champs.

Tried the handbrake on the first run. It went ok, but i could feel that it just wanted to drift way to wide. So i tried to feather the throttle instead of mash it and it kept it tight. It worked and was nice turn. But i bogged down on the out shot.

Tried again on the second run. Total fail spun 180 and stopped short of the cone. Had to find reverse and do a 3 point turn lol. Still netted a pretty competiitve time too. I was pushing hard to make up for the failed handbrakie and it would have been an agressive run if it wasnt for the spin.

3rd time out i opted to play it safe and take the conventional way round. Was an ok run but the tyres were absolutely raped by that stage. Front left was shredded and showing canvas. I really got my moneys worth there. Also found the limit of my surge tank. Fuel light on during the run and on the very last 200m i ran out and surged. Coasted in over the line. I think it was the heavy right handers just emptied the tank on the right half of the tank.

Quick tyre rotation of FL to RL and vice versa. (Couldnt even touch the wheel or wheel nuts they were so hot) and out again for the last run. And got my best time of the day. Would have been interesting with fresh tyres. Haha.

As expected. Car was very slippery in the rear as i havent really changed the setup from last round. But its actually incredibly fun to drive. Once you figure out the limit, and drive to it. It was such adrenaline rush.

Heres the results. AM only so far. Also bear in mind, this round all 4 runs are averaged to give round results. So have one bad run and your points suffer.

This is what my front left tyre looked like after the 3rd run.

And this was my 4th and fastest run of the day at 2:53:481. With tyres that chewed up
