n/a stock sr20de

I have been running a couple of seconds slow lately i dunno if its the tyres that i am running or the changes that i made for the hillclimbs, but sprint times are suffering a little.
maybe its just me

evaded

Ah that explains it. I am running an L20B still need more power though still suffering on the straights

MysteryRide

ROFL LMAO, love the title of the Video. Sweet. You have some wicked camber on that Datto.


Rookie Rox, It did work out. I let someone else have my pit and shared with another mate.

Atleast you also get to mix around a bit and meet other people.

mosport

anybody here going on the 16th ?

garlic_s5rx7

im gonna go have a watch. I am interested in seeing how the start works. I might come out for the next one.

GTRVspec95

Thanks for the link guys.

Anyone with pics; or looking for pics of their cars I will update the first post after each session with links to pics you guys want to post

MysteryRide

Yea cheers to all for the pics. Im always having too much fun to bother with a camera so its always good seeing some. Someone promised me some video of my car so hopefully get to see that.

fearlesss

Does anyone know how the points system works ?

because a car that went slower in category 8 got more points than me
im only in category 6 so i would have though I'ld at least get the same points

TUN35

I'll hopefully have some new camera gear by the next Saturday session that I'll be keen to give a go, so expect me at most of these

Rookie ROX

Points are allocated to the fastest of each group. If there's more competitors in the same group running faster times, they'll get the points. Effectively the times of other competitors in other groups are completely ignored.

So points are allocated to the fastest 13 times running from 20, 17, 15, 12, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, everyone else then picks up 1 point. Although because there was less than 13 competitors in Road 8 at these Sprints, the points went down to 4.

ROCK ON
R~R

fearlesss

so logicaly if i said my car was a v8 rather than a pissy 1.3ltr
and did the same times i would have a better chance of getting a good finish in that category.. that sucks balls

neil_se

Why does it matter? You're only competing against the people in your category. There's obviously not as much competition in that class.

fearlesss

cause I want to win of course ??
just dont think its gona happen when im racing against porches

MysteryRide

Usual way, youll never get a system where everyone will be happy. Look at the V8 supercar series. They try real hard to keep it fair and theres always something.

I could complain because Im sure every car that was in my class that was quicker was trailered out. Houw could this be just for road registered vehicles. My car got driven their and back and will be driven to work tommorow.

Usual thing though, fact of life is there will always be someone quicker. Just keep working on your PB.Youll get plenty of satisfaction from that........ and have fun!

mosport

i have sent my entry in for 16 th
should be fun !


as far as SAS groups go we have the clubmans in our class which makes it hard to win as well.
but then they are 4 cylinder road registered cars.

jezza323

i think Road 4 is one of the hardest categories to get to the top in

MEV09

Just so you know people trailer their cars there incase something goes wrong. Some people know they have problems when pushing their cars and it is not nice having to pay $150-$200 to get your car towed when you can just trailer it there to be safe. My car is driven daily and if i had my way any time it went on the track i would trailer it out there.

MysteryRide

MEV09 Fair comment.

Usual way, like I said cant keep everyone happy.

But most trailered cars are a dedicated track cars or something heavily moded rather than stock.

QR's not too bad but Morgan Park is a drama!

hipowerracing

"to say that the 4 cylinder group is hard to top"... with the clubmans in the group..


i dont think thats true.. cars like wrx-eater DC5, louis's oeg60, Jamie's eg, DR john's S2000 should be very competive this year..

i would like to see louis's OEG60 top this years 4 cylinder. jamie should be close if he is willing to spent more money... haha..

but of course those clbman cost like 30~80 grand to built.. compared to our road cars that cost a fraction of that.. i think guys don't give up yet..

my CRX in it's first run only managed a 64 sec.... but with proper tuning and setup sub 60 is possible...

of course chosing a suitable car is very important too.. i mean hondas are built for te track period... however i believe a good purpose built toyota Ae86, or toyota sportivo,toyota MR2, mazda 3, celica can also do the job. it's all about set up, and the right investment in a car..

mosport

yeah top ten from last year 4 cylinders shows Honda featuring prominently with 5 spots
followed by those pesky clubmans with 3 spots,
which leaves a very old alfa and a very old datto rounding off in 6th & 9th

1st - Honda CRX
2nd - Birkin S3
3rd - Westfield Sei
4th - Honda S2000
5th - Birkin S3
6th - Datsun 1600
7th - Honda S2000
8th - Honda S2000
9th - Alfa Romeo GT Junior
10 - Honda S2000

I dont much like their drop 2 worst round rule either as it doesnt promote attendance or consistancy.

Now if they brought in dial your own times that would give everyone a chance of winning

2007 results still available here http://www.queenslandraceway.com.au/sas-points.xls

evaded

Hopefully another 1600 will be in that group shortly

superdave

Go the Toyota's
I know of a good Sportivo for sale that has all the good bits already on it, it just needs a buyer to take it to the track (no it's not mine).

Damone

Its getting worked on. albeit slowly. last i heard engine was getting moved backwards about 50mm and some other stuff was happening.

wrxkilla

I have a Street/Track GTR that I plan on trailoring to QR all the time. My last GTR used to drive to Willowbank, but its a riyal pain in the ass being stuck out there when you kill something (its a Nissan afterall)

I like the street rego rule. although street class should have to have DOT approved tires or whatever. I saw some FULL slicks out there in street class!!!



all good.

Hopefully see some of you guys on Tuesday 5th at Timeattack! Im there in the GTR's first run out.

fearlesss

umm i think your missing one other toyota in that list

evaded

Echo?

hipowerracing

i really one to built a serious TRACK 2005 suzuki Swift..
willing to built one for any eager customer..

i think those cars are quick.

rotmanozzie

Don't think anyone here goes out to TimeAttack, should be a good day, will be a heap of EVO's out on the 5th to give you a run.

jezza323

anyone coming to WAS on the 6th?

garlic_s5rx7

If the WAS wasn't on the next day I would be at the time attack.

MEV09

i'll be at time attack and WAS next week in the bombadore


wrxkilla
good luck with that. you have some pretty serious evo's to contend with that day. they are all in at our mechanics getting ready for it
