Doughty has got it bang on. With FTQ whats the point in even bothering for the first 3 rounds - may aswell just run the last. No matter what, if you fluff up that run, you'll be down on expectations.

Yesterday at Temple Park, the corner onto the straight moved and the line from the banked corner became much faster - it did get moved back for round 4, but it was still faster than it was on round 1. Same at the end of the straight, that went from a definate 90degree to a slight sweeper, I was carrying far more speed through it in round 4 than round 1. Then the chicane ont he slippy - the straight line through it was always there, it just became wider.... I can go on with more too, and thats only with track moving, not track rubbering up.

Round by Round should be everywhere. If you noticed I told Vermin off for voting on both options (you should do a stand to the left for FTQ, to the right for RbR and in the middle for not bothered), thats cos if it was FTQ yesterday I would have felt "whats the point in travelling so far for this", but as it turned out it was the right decision and I did enjoy it and hope you stay at the venue as it was a great event! (Well done to Greg Williams)

In 4wd anyway, I would have been on pole with either situ, but Adam would have been 2nd and Greg 3rd. Not sure about 2wd.

I know I won;t be coming back as it was soooo far til next indoor regional, but how about a NERCR-GP in the next winter seperate to the regional, perhaps a 2 day event to clash with the Neo 09' - get us back there. The venue is awesome and can easily cope with a mahoosive turnout!
