Qualified 12th. First round eliminations I cut a 'reasonable' light (.115) and punched the brakes through the traps to run a 12.12 @ 96mph. 2nd round went .003 on the tree, 1.668 for the 60' and broke out by a hundredth. (11.940 on an 11.950 dial).

Was totally worth going! Took 40 points in S/RWD for quarter-final lose. Points are now:

1/ Jeff (Blue Datto coupe JRB00M) - 140

1/ Mark Jacobsen (Friggin awesome GTR) - 140

2/ Me - 120

3/ 'BU5TER' - 100

4/ 'DRAGME' - 100

HUGE THANKS go out to the following people without whom, my competing could never have happened. I owe you guys! :thumbsup:

Lee and Ben (Filter) from Need for Speed Imports - towed the car all the way to QLD for me with almost NO notice whatsoever, crewed for me all day and helped out with every part of the day.

Mark (overev1) from Albion, QLD. Thanks for the place to crash, the help on the day and for showing me the reason I love this sport so much.

Gav - Mark's mate and rotary fiend. Thanks heaps mate.

Stuart from Bezerkly Automotive back in Wollongong for the "over-the-phone-tune" and strategy advice.

Thanks guys.

Thats great 2rismo................as my Dad would say "you done good". WELL DONE.

All the effort was worth it. :thumbsup:

Stace & Paul.

theo ran very low 10s all day with big mph 150 plus.. oops wheel spin . then broke a rear drive shaft in 2nd round racing..

Hahahaha!!!!! x lots!

If ANYONE else had broken a shaft, there would've been offers of spares and help and support from all corners. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

Jeff in the blue datto didn't qualify (17th) and had fuel supply issues. As far as I know he ripped up the ET3 non-qualifier bracket once it was sorted.

2nd place - little rotary I think?!?! Anyone?

Personally I can't wait to get to WSID and run another 1.668 60' and 118mph :thumbsup: Other 60's were: 1.762, 1.759, 1.771, 1.774.

Should have explained myself better.

This event has only been advertised for a couple months hasn't it?

Which is fine for spectators but possibly not some competitors who can take months saving and modding in preperation for an event like this.

Now im lookin forward to the Jambo up here and strongly thinkin about going to Sydney in May for the Compak attack to see who wins this sport RWD gig.

Cheers (from ex overev1>>>now gtr660hp) :P

Edited by gtr660hp

there wasnt as many spectators as at the usual jambo, but it was way better, not as crowded, u could actually sit where u wanted to and see the track, and bcoz it was a one day event like the old jambo's, there was non stop racing action, not like the 2 day event where they stop racing for like 4 hours and u got nothing to do but watch them crap around on stage to try and waste time. it was a much better event, and if it stay one day event, i can see it taking over the normal jamboree :P

    • I'll say bad things about the shit lottery that is Yellow Jackets.
    • Yes, those exactly, either angled, or straight ones. I just dug one of my f**ked up old stock arms out of the crap box. 2 views, showing nipples added in places where they were accessible while installed at both ends of the arm, without clashing with anything else on the car (ie the upright, the inner guard, etc). Circled in red.
    • Don't think that can fit in physically. Are you referring to this?    If it happens again, I'm going to get the nismo ones.
    • I bought the 1/18 scale celica and nsx from Justin and they are very detailed and good quality. I will definitely be interested in others in the series as they come out 
    • Just install a grease nipple into the centre of the outer steel of the FUCA. Make sure the bushes aren't long enough to touch each other underneath that nipple. Cut a few mm off each if need be. Then you can push grease in there while it is all assembled. That was the very first thing I did (to all 4 ends) of the FUCAs on my 32 when I put Whiteline adjustable bushes into them. They would squeeze the grease out real fast, and I could squeeze it back in faster.
