  1. Their were no standout times, 2 or 3 cars were in the 12's the rest were 13-15sec. Every 2nd LS1 was into the mid 11's with the help of an auto and a turbo/supercharger. In other words we got absolutely spanked by the LS1's which have become really good consistent cars now that they have discovered forced induction.
  2. Just a reminder!! Daylight Saving 2007 Daylight saving ends on Sunday 25 March 2007 at 3 a.m. when clocks are put back one hour.
  3. Last time we organised a drag day we all ended up at the Nepean River for a bbq
  4. I'm in need of a spectator ticket please. Probably been to over 90% of events held at WSID since it opened, can't start missing them now Edit: Also if its your first time at the track, nervous or just want to improve your times see me on the day for some tips, been there enough now to know the basic stuff.
  5. Driver Most Likely To Be Replaced Before The End Of The Season 1. Heiki Kovalainen 2. Adrian Sutil 3. Alex Wurz 4. David Coulthard Whingey B'stard of the Race 1. Jenson Button ("my car's cr*p") 2. Flavio Briatore ("my driver's cr*p") 3. Ron Dennis ("BMW made a cr*p tyre choice") Interesting comments. I can't see DC being replaced, not from a team as big as RBR. I also think it's great that Button spoke out and said the truth about his Team, Honda has done zero for his career.
  6. Just got my hands on a sample mkv file of what i'll be watching for the entire 2007 season (itv telecast). It has 4 independent windows, top left is camera angle 1 (its blank for the screenshot only - don't know why) bottom left is camera angle 2, top right is track info (temperatures, location of cars, track status etc) and bottom right is the timing page with driver positions and sector times etc. Probably the most fascinating way of watching the race, just means i'll have to watch ch10's coverage first then this format 2 days later (takes that long for the person to create it).
  7. Any pics of the frontbar (email them if you have to)
  8. Possibly just a run-in tune, a final tune would no doubt yield a few hundred more ponies.
  9. Here are some clips: DC up the inside of Wurz First Lap Webber spin Davidson spin
  10. ick $450 I'd have a go at making it myself before spending $450 on an airbox + snorkel.
  11. The documentary that is being shown this afternoon (McLaren - Chasing The Dream) is certainly worth watching, I watched it last night. It goes for an hour and gives good background info on Lews Hamilton, Alonso moving to McLaren and the launch of the new cars earlier this year.
  12. Can you post up the full details of that 12.0 @ 112mph please?
  13. For anyone that missed todays coverage of the practice sessions on Ch10 they showed the new RBR Promo video, you can view it HERE Too much time spent in makeup and not enough spent in the wind tunnel
  14. Their palett rates are cheap!
  15. Buy an aftermarket brand new item, standard and 2nd hand is not worth the small saving.
  16. The best thing about the Australian GP is live coverage So for Ch10 we have: Friday: 1:00pm-4:30pm Saturday: 10:00am-5:00pm Sunday: 10:00am-5:00pm = 17.5hrs of coverage (or in other words time to clear out about 60gb of hdd space)
  17. TNT, Toll Ipec, Startrack, etc.
  18. Ummm...
  19. Enough to fill all the staging lanes out the back to where the white lines stop. Still should be able to get 6 runs if your there from 6-10pm.
  20. Sounds like its time to pull my finger out and get my car back on the road (and track) because these sound like some good serious fun.
  21. How many people use brake ducts?
  22. Here I was thinking it was just ~10 lap sprint races not time trial type driving. Generally how many cars attend? What classes are their? Costs to compete etc? (I cant any websites with info? which is prob why i've never attended these events)
  23. Go to the SAU private day if their are still spots available.
  24. The only quick cars from Sydney of late have been VLT's.
