    Well almost true............... sometimes Bob moves in a bit, so I can get extra chair lift to cut a corner, to get a better run for the next corner - the dipper at Ruapuna for example, or even turn 3 at Taupo.

    Or he sits in the middle, but way further forward, so we get more rear wheel sliding for a higher speed right hander like turn 3 at the Creek.

    I am blessed to have such a 'thinking' passenger on my rig, as most of the time he just knows where the best place to be is. If it doesn't work, I don't have to tell him, he already knows! He makes it look easy. And believe me, it aint!
    Over the years, I've watched and listened to numerous teams nut out a lap of a circuit. Me and Bob just know! Eastern Creek for example - never seen the circuit, 1 warm up lap, 1 flying lap, and that's all we got last year, 1 lap! Qualified 4th out of 29 - behind 3 LCR's! Poor Bob never even got a chance to even view the circuit direction, but was in the right place at the right time for each corner (except turn 8.....). LEGEND!!
    Is it still beastiality if ya fuck a frozen chicken??

    Only ridden one in semi-anger - Lawrance Bro's at end of 'Have-a-go day'.

    It was a hoot!! I got the back wheel off the ground around the right hander after the hairy pin. You guys ever do that??
    Slid the back around turn 1 - on full lock for a while (packed my undies on that one - as I was amazed with how little lock it had!!)

    Seriously, that kind of shit sells racing to people. Remember the live commentaries from the likes of Dick Johnson at Bathurst.

    All you would hear is Spyda struggling to get his breath and then most likely spewing in his helmet

    cant remember if this is already up but there's some onboard commentry
