R32 TT

A few more vids from the day guys. Paul: Richard:

Here is a bit of in-car... A bit busy on the wheel...?

and a couple more.

No where near the full field obviously. Just some random shots of some of the cars - some from the morning session and some from the arvo during the 'changeover' at lunchtime.

Righto lads, thanks for coming. A perfect day for it and for the most part a good time had by all. Trev, Lachlan - apologies if I was a bit 'short' or anything - Trev when you came up and introduced yourself I'd only just had some sort of engine failure so I wasn't myself. Hope I didn't come across rude or anything. I usually have a sense of humour... : / I have some video to post up soon.. not as much as I'd like for obvious reasons...!

I might get up there for a short while just for a look. A buddy of mine is going to be doing some practice laps in a Porsche Cup car.. want to come see how he is doing.

sleep well lads..... for tomorrow - we race.

Oh I don't think anyone here HAS 400+kw... we are all here just asking about them....

Hank! fast forward to 01:25..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSDUcKw-GOk Gav sent this to me last.... awesome rendition I thought..

Pretty sure they are a 6cc dome mate.

Mate - absolutely do it ! And its your buy too by the way.

Its the excuse I use every time I get beaten by one... EVO: load "MC Motorsport Program", sit back, relax and enjoy a few beers on the podium that afternoon...

Really?? give them a call on : 6189 4600 and ask to speak to Tammy Hunt. She can sort it for you.

Excellent. So how many entered now Dr?

So you're saying you'll leave it up to the Pro's to embarrass themselves?? . That - I can - and often do.... Its the driving I need the help with.. Be good to put a face to the name anyhow - hope you can make it!

Well fair enough too! Wear my helmet and sunnies - and, if you happen to do a great time, I'll take the credit for it - sound ok?

Trev! You know I never did "find" that electrical gremlin...! It just didn't happen last round (thank god). So! It may happen this time - bring your diagnostics brain with you!

...Don't worry Scotty... I do that kind of thing all the time..

Excellent! Its going to be non stop howl of turbo charged straight sixes out there.

Good to see you're in Richard ! I also put my name down for the Midvale Speeddome event on the 6th.. haven't done that one. No Limits is cancelled??

Looks hot. Who did the paint?

PM Sent.

Ok, I reckon I'll have a crack at this. Haven't done the Speed dome before so could be fun! Put me down for a spot.

Excellent info, thanks Brad, I really wasn't aware of all that. I'll have to do some digging up on this for my surge tank being made. Thanks.

Just so we're on the same page.. Lets say the corner we are talking about is a left hander. So you, the driver, are sitting on the high side of this bank, doing circa 200km/hr. Which way side of the tank is it that you think the fuel is being pushed to? Gravity is trying to pull the fuel down to the left side of the tank. That's where it would be sitting if your car were parked still on that slope facing the direction of the corner. When you are turning hard left on the FLAT bit of road, the fuel makes its way to the right side of the tank.. agreed? On the bank, while turning left at 200-250km/hr, the fuel will 'climb' back up to be approximately flat on the bottom of the tank - negating the force of gravity pulling it down. Yes, of course it won't be 'perfectly flat', but its not perfectly flat doing 200km/hr on the flat straight bit of road either. (but I didn't say 'perfectly' to begin with) Also it will vary depending on whether you are doing 180km/hr or 220km/hr, so lets not split hairs. If 200 happens to be the sweet spot, then the differences will only be like taking that corner at 20-40km/hr.. ie, not nearly as much fuel movement as you think. Hence just not a good example for what you were trying to say. That is all. Grab that bucket from the laundry, put 3 inches of water in it. Go outside (that's an important step), hold the bucket out at an angle and start to rotate - watch what happens and get back to us. also! Make sure you get someone to take video - not for any scientific value - I just think it will be amusing when you stop. Remember this is why the corner is banked the first place, to negate the lateral G forces - on the tyres mostly - but same result for the fuel.
