V8 Supercars - Pukekohe practice day (Fri)

Went along to the practice day yesterday, glorious sunshine all day so lots of photo opportunities. Here's a few:

Local hero Greg Murphy taking a victim for a hot lap - sadly you can't tell if they were smiling or screaming.

Very minimal ground clearance

Looks like the formula 1 car side skirts of a few decades ago.

and from the "before and after" series:


"that'll buff right out"

Did he go to the Andy Anderson School of Driving?

Hope you got a few pictures of Paul Honiss' brother !!!

WOW car 34 is very low

I didn't know Holden made a coupe

Very low indeed, was that at the turn in of the fast left hander? would the body roll would explain it looking that low.

greta shots!!!

That JD car looks awesome....before she on the trailer

thanks, yes they're doing something like 180 - 190Km/hr around that sweeper. Having said that, none of the rest of the field were that low so suspect they either got the ride height wrong, or didn't quite get the spring rate sorted.
Holden made Monaro's (coupe) until recently, but the V8 series is for 4 door Fords & Holdens only.

Strange, the car on the trailer certianly looks short enough to be a 2 door coupe ?

nice work - shame we did not get to meet up but work is a ****.
