No I haven't lowered it ,its just the position that it ends up in from that approach. I have tackled it from another angle and it just and I mean just clears
With some suttle exhaust scraping.Kazz will have to get out before going into driveway its just that close.

I think the problem is the concrete......

Mal needs a jack hammer first and then some concrete ;)

Ok so my solution at the moment involves 20 rubber knobbed traction squares layered on an angle up to a small pallet type arrangement and down the other side and dyno bolted to the driveway.This should work,the only problem now is there is no way that the trailer loaded with my track bike will get out without a full revamp of the top of the driveway.So no track days until I do the whole thing properly.I will throw up some pics when I have completed my interm solution. ;)

Your cringing what do you reckon my face looked like when the sound of my side skirts scraping the concrete was going through my head.
I think I added at least 5 permanent wrinkles to my face. ;)

Seriously $85,000 plus on roads for a GTS Mallo ,I wonder Pursuit ute $47500 plus on roads.I wonder how fast and how much better I could make the pursuit with the spare 37,500 left over. ;)

Nigel Pitch took me for a drive in his supercharged SS ute a while back and all I could think was 'how the fuck are you supposed to keep the thing in a straight line?'. :shock: 500 kW in a ute is a crazy combination. :twisted:
