Autosalon Circuit Battle

[Roy]

I think Duncan does most of Wakefield in 3rd gear. Obviously uo hit 4th on the straight...but i actually shift up from 3rd to 4th a lot more then Duncan, where he just holds 3rd gear. Well that was in the std R33 GTS25T anyway.

And you the king of the rev limiter. Musta been someone elses car

[Beer Baron]

yeah, got to give the limiter some love everynow and then, just to make sure it's still working...lol

snowy, i think OP south circuit would be mostly 3 and 4th in a mildish GTR.

[Snowman]

Oh well thats cool. Gear changes are good. I mean I haven't busted a gearbox in over 12 months now!

[fatz]

yea op south is no gear changes except down the straight

wakefield is 10 by my count

duncan has a vid of me working it in a mazda cappella and spearing off in style at about 5 km/h

[Roy]

There is footage of me spearing off at turn 2 of wakefield as i quickly pluck what i think is 4th gear trying to do a fancy 5-4 then 4-3 down change...it was actually 2nd ...poor RB20

It was funny, "this one time, at Wakfield.... i put my car in the mud/dirt that often at the end of the day i had tuffs of grass in the wipers, under the rear boot spoiler" It was a wet day at Wakefield, and with the exception of Duncan and me, there was only one other car on the track (a ute)

It was a good opportunity to lose the car on every corner and convince myself that i am a hack driver and sure as sh1t no drifter

[fatz]

roy your camp mat

[Roy]

...and im comfortable with that.

[Amaru]

Might come down with pom-poms and all and cheer you guys on since its less than an hour away when they finally chose a date... nothing better than seeing skylines give it to everything else... or suck due to crappy drivers... or just blow up, any of the above options work for me though

[Boosted Zed]

Someone mentioned handicap. I can see it now they are going to make me drag an anchor.

Gears at Wakefield. I used to change to fifth down straigth but now on rev limiter just after finish line and hold it then brake just before the kink. V8 Supercars brake well before the kink.

I do ten changes and gear box with big power and high revs is problem sometimes, and miss gears also. Phitzner Dog Box on the list as probably a second or more faster in time with this alone as much faster changing, especially changing up.

Email I received from organiser is extended until end of Feb. Wondering why if they have 400 plus entries as someone said?

[Roy]

This is hopless; 10 pages of dribble and so far we only know of one person who looks to have been accepted. So they are still taking entries?

Oh well fingers crossed that means the day may be in April some time.

[LTSJayce]

Sooo...the date hasn't even been set yet? Good;that gives me time to get my huge sticker kit and 10 inch lowering gear for the 120Y so I'm at least a shot for Hair Salon Sir-Cut Battle Frenzy OMG-thats-fulsik competition...

That was me. I was just hoping there would be handicaps so I have a chance.

It doesn't matter now as snowman mentioned that there will be two classes for race cars and street cars so I doubt you would have to carry weight.

Otherwise to make your car do similar times to mine you would have to put roof racks on your car and strap another car to your roof.

[Duncan]

hahaha only 2 changes in the gtst but it was a bit slow, only 160rwkw and 1.10s.

The GTR needs 10

[Roy]

OK...so anyone has any news? I have spent a crap load of money the past week and all of a sudden my enthusiams in this has waned

[fatz]

yea roy news is

ya muma!

[Snowman]

Brisby - stay away from the 4 floors of whores if you want to stop spending coin mate!

[Roy]

LOL...remember Luke walking into that farked up space bar in Star Wars with Obi-Wan Kenobi, only there is no Hans Solo or Chewbacca...

...crossed with Cheers, when you walk in, they all turn and call yor name

[Beer Baron]
