Autosalon Circuit Battle

[Roy]

Its good for w4nk value.

Plus it will be fun, and the one lap thing is cool. i like it. The old RB20 can handle 1.4bar for 70 seconds

[scathing]

The Ice Supra is coming too.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Hopefully the car will stay together long enough to actually do a timed lap this time.

[fatz]

i wanta run 6 bar on the day should work with the 8 bottles on nos im plumbing in

[Snowman]

Cheers Ash, eitheer works.

How can you lot be so interested in what is mostly a waste of effort?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Very easy answer to this one. Prize Money.

That won't compare to the 6 bar boost + 8 bottles of NOS + some elf racing fuel including stickers...... and a partridge in a pear tree

[GTRgeoff]

Richard, something we didn't need to know, but maybe it helps to stop the beret falling off.

Prizemoney? Someone tell Benno. Better yet, crazy Frank lives 5 minutes away. Taking candy from babies.

[Snowman]

haha - entries have closed.

Sif I was going to tell Benno and Frank (or Aaron for that matter) about this when there is prize money up for grabs!

[fatz]

cash money

ill be happy wih a case of vb

[nfi]

I was thinking that if its a 2 day event there must be a lot of practise time if only 30 cars are going and each has one timed lap. It seems a bit dumb.

Snowman, maybe you can confince them that they need to invite more people to make the event worth while and look good in print

[nfi]

And have handicaps so I have a glimmer of hope

[GTRgeoff]

How much cash?

Nah, I bet you had to submit photos or a description of the number and size of stickers. They want photo cars so the less the better. Did giant get in? (sif, who wants a plain green GTR32 even if it is fast?) They won't want fast cars competing against the Osmonds in their bathtub WRX.

[Snowman]

They are still working with the sponsors on how much for prize money. So far sponsors want to give stuff but ASM want cash. So I dunno.

I really don't know who else got in. As I said (I think) I have no say in it at all. I know everything through Nige. Apparently these guys owe Nige some favours so thats how I got it.

But Russ does have some tricky stuff like the PPG gerabox so he may well have been picked for coolness sakes. Although I dont know how much that cheater gearbox will help at Wakefield - isn't there only 2 or 3 gear changes a lap there?

[Guest Mashrock]

Andrew mate, that's a bit harsh. I'm not sure i completey understand what you mean though? BUT i cant wait to see you in your GTR on the track, bring on the NSW sprint i say. I know i will be there, possibly not in the GTR though

i was on another cloud haha. talking about drifting and cams.. which i beleive is under review this year. anyhoo.

i should be out in march. or april... money permitting. but should be back on the road by the end of the month.

i cant wait!

[Roy]

Crossing the line in 4th gear...then there is exactly 10 gear changes per lap in my car...now ith ebigger turbs it may be 12.

[Snowman]

which is the track in NSW with no gear changes then? I thought there was one people do 90% in 3rd gear?

[Abo Bob]

I've been around wakefield with Oz in the R34VspecII and I can tell you now that in R34 GTR's there are 97 gear changes per lap. It's all to do with the ratios.

I do it in 8 changes. Same lap times that day.

[Abo Bob]

I hear the latest turbo diesel navara does it all in 4th gear. From a standing start too.
