Zoggee organised something similar to Solo and took out timed runs as benchmark for future improvement. I didn't get any pics because all the participants and I were too busy being nosey. Sitting near the timekeeper and watching for others' lap times.
One interesting participant was the Saga from Hell, which I first saw at Sepang's open track on the 27th of Jan 08. This fella ran coil over shocks suspension in the rear and a 4G63T resides as its heart. Heavily modified and torque steers like mad. Enjoy the view :-

I had a blast of a time and I finally got Tougeking to drive my car. Despite being and FF layout, balding yr 2003 tires and his first time driving my car, his time was :-
1. 44.78 secs.
2. 44.94 secs.
3. 44.45 secs.
As compared to my own time of :-
1. 47.24 secs.
2. 48.35 secs.
3. 47.92 secs.
4. 47.89 secs.
5. 47.02 secs.
I tried entering the chicane on third gear and missed the following apex slightly on my second run, I didn't think it'd cost me so much. Haiz...
Now I know what I'm aiming for :) Thanks TK for the taxi ride and for the benchmark timing. Thanks also for showing me how to take the chicane, I shall return soon with vengeance and new tires :P
I just gotta say this. IT'S ALL ABOUT BALANCE!!!

Thanks for letting me drive the Perdana, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I think we could shave 2 seconds with better tires, no passenger, and more serious driving :P Let's see how you do it next time!
"Ngo chee chi lei ke".
I'll get a fresh set of tires then try again next round.
Thanks for the ride and experience your "dramatic" driving :)
