i was told the gtr (same car that featured in dutton rally) was in the mid 55s.
i wasnt there this time around , my best was a 56.4 a couple rounds ago.
results should be up in the next few days anyway.

I hand timed the GTR at a 55.5sec lap with some minor traffic to deal with so a clear run would have been faster obviously. I have heard rumuors of a 54.xx being his best time.

I had wastegate issues (again) which limited me to only 9psi so my best was only a 57.5 on the day.


GTRVspec95, thanks for the pictures mate, you've done yourself proud with the quality mate.
That last pic of tree fitty z seems to be him cleaning up a bit of a mess maybe. I guess the nipple pinching worked a treat for him...

Someone will have to ask Adam TRD and see if he will admit to being overtaken by an old schooler tongue.gif

Lookint at that shot, it looks like it is turn 6, so I would say the s15 is over taking the escort... though, the escort is no slug, it runs 59's on a good day...

Its not exactly just an Escort anyhow... Runs an SR20det i think! Has some grunt on the straights!

I believe this is the engine bay of that particular GT40 I took from last round ...

There are usually two or three of them running at Sprint days.

I think you need to do your research ...

A quick google search found a GENUINE 1966 GT40 (Chassis #1065) was auctioned in the States in 2002 for USD $436,500 (Approximately AUD $550,000)

http://www.gt40s.com/forum/all-gt40/9874-a...ial-1065-a.html

The replica GT40's are the more feasible option to owning own of these unique beasts but they still cost a packet.

I know Roaring Forties is a company in Victoria that specialises in replicas ( http://www.roaringforties.com.au/ ) if you are actually serious in owning one

That was actually him coming on to the main straight just before he decided to go out back and plough the fields

As you can see ... his front wheels where already pointing in the direction for 'gardening' smile.gif

The black Torana, the Charger and John's 'Camry' ( tongue.gif ) also got alot of action with cold tyres out of the last turn hsdance.gif

Red Escort has a 4ltr Lexus V8 in it controlled by an Autronic ecu.

The tyres on my "Camry" were shot so I was kind of glad it wasnt making full boost in a way as it was struggling to get out of corners with only half boost. I wasnt going to bother replacing them with only one track day left for the year, however January will be a different story with some new bits being gathered for it as we speak. Shooting for some new fastest lap times in February just before the 1st 2007 TopGear round.

I believe that is grid racing with qualifying sessions etc

Someone correct me if I am wrong

I think the requirements are cages / harnesses / fire estinguishes / suits etc

Best to talk to John (importbitz driver of the pink 'Camry') as he competes or give Mr Tetley and co a call at QR smile.gif

Hi all,

TopGear makes sprints seem boring. I've competed in TopGear just since September this year and I only use sprints to sort the car and practice for the Sunday.
You can race as hard as you want, but cos I'm still green I'm running at the back of the field and I still have some good, clean competition with other guys.

Qualifying is 10 mins Sunday morning on the Sportsman circuit (down the back straight, but cross the flip flip from turn 3 to 6 back onto the main straight), then first race is National circuit, then Sprint circuit, then Clubman circuit (all 5 laps), then maybe 1 or 2 more races of 7 laps, including a reverse grid handicap race.
All that for about $95 entry fee!!

There is scrutineering early Sun morning - they check your race suit and helmet as well as your car for extinguisher, double return throttle springs, positive battery terminal cover (even just taped up), bonnet clips ... can't remember what else. My car only has a half cage and I can compete no worries.

Classes are nicely sorted into Saloon (4-door), Sports Car (2-door, including Sports 1300 and Clubmans), MX5s and Super Karts. A great variety within each class - for example, it's not unusal to see say an older V8 Supercar competing against WRXs and Escorts.

Get into it, the more the merrier!!! Then when you go to work on a Monday after a weekend of racing, your stories will always be more interesting than just about any of your workmate's ... smile.gif

Basically as per S513BTurbo said.

They run each class in turn for qualifying etc.
Qualifying 10min- Sportsman track
Race 1, 5 laps- National track
Race 2, 5 laps- Sprint track
Race 3, 5 laps- Clubman track
Race 4, 5 laps- Sportman track
Race 5, 7 laps- National track (reverse grid handicap based on qualifying times and race 1 results. Theory is that all cars should hit finish line at same time but that never works. Last round I was handicapped by 2minutes lol)

Scrutineering is fairly relaxed but they do look for major safety aspects. Adequate rollcage protection, in date race suit and gloves, helmet etc. Oil catch cans, external battery isolator, functional brake lights, seat securely mounted and vehicle not looking like its going to explode on first lap.

Racing is serious, but not cut-throat. There are no cash prizes, no pats on the back for bad sportsmanship by blocking repeatedly. Its all meant to be good clean competition with everyone leaving at the end of the day with a car that only needs a wash and refuel to compete again next time. There are no major teams with sponsorship so everyone has to pay their own repair bills so there are no heroics on the track. At the end of the day the last feature race there are 3 trophies handed out in each class for the first 3 across the line. The primary reward for the day is personal not finacial so you know everyone is out there for the love of the sport.
Everyone is more then willing to help out, and there are some real interesting cars that turn up.
Sedans are usually the biggest field and the one with the greatest disparity between slowest and fastest too lol. Has everything from an Ex CAT Racing V8 Supercar and Bo Seton built Capri sports sedan running a homologation Sierra cosworth engine down to HQ sedans and Gemini's.
