Thanks to all for another tops Wang weekend. Had no idea it was even on til Snowy mentioned it a few weeks back and I was already flying in to Melbourne for some quality time with Raechel. How convenient!!

Big thanks for the generosity of the Snowdaddy lettting me drive the GTR. What an animal of a car!!!!! If I ever find this ellusive EVO I will be happy to return the favour westside. Thanks to all the helpers on the day. A really slick run event. Adz and Ash, those wang burgers were the best yet!!!!

Did you finish up blowing your voice box James... Seemed to be getting a bit crunchy towards the ends of the battles. Great job mate. I am sure there is a role for you in an upcoming 2F2F. :)

Apologies Mav for just about having you jumping the armco on the long wang.. bit of a hairy moment.. :)

Great to catch up with so many of you again and thanks for making me welcome. Sorry I missed the Wang night out, but I think I might have struggled to convince Raechel that racing cars all day and then getting on the sauce with all you bad eggs that night and then being the enivitable broken shell of a man on Sunday qualifies as quality time :D

Look forward to getting back for another one..

Lol Blaise no worries at all mate.... just was hoping that it would grip which it did, so their was nothing to worry about ...

Thanx for the Burn on the Skid pan that was Great fun... Never been in a car going that fast in my entire life...

the buleen bar sucked the wang and i couldnt work out why they were handing out bottle openers, i only saw today they had their logo on them.

the yahoo bar was tons better

You're kidding. I thought the yahoo bar was a hole, no a grimy cesspool, and didn't help the bouncer was a powertripping c0ck with Gareth who just needed a little more riverdance time to sober up. It all came down to Gareth looking down into his wallet for ID with the hat on while the flog kept telling him to look up at him, then griping because Gareth couldn't find his ID so he said "you're out"! Whatever lights your candles I suppose but I prefer to see and hear the people I talk to. The girls just flat refused to stay when they walked in.

Surely there are better places to drink in town.

i think paul was more pissed at the yahoo and therefore anything and everything was more enjoyable!!!

Top weekend guys and girls.

Thanks to all who helped out and thumbs up to Chris and Snowy for another fantastic event.

I dont remember much about Saturday night, but I'm sure it was a blast.

Bring on the next one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS. My bag is still missing - cancelled credit cards, phone and EFTPOS card yesterday - very very pi$$ed off. :)

love the trip and the driving cant wait for the next one where can i sign up now and pay the money

thanks to everyone who helped out cos if they werent there the day would not happen.

Great weekend, big thanks to Russel and friend (sincere apologies but im drawing a blank on your name), Nat, Mav, Leewah for helping run the back track.

His name is Ross and it was his first exposure to a motorsport event. The ride in snowy's GTR has ensured a future interest in the sport. He loved every minute of the day as did I. It was a pleasure to help out.

Also great to meet more of you this time and have a chat.

Highlights were the runs in Snowy and Petes cars. bugger... now he thinks my car is slow....

Ahahahahaha

PMSL Age - thats gold.

Yeah Brisby how did our cabin have a layer of water over everything the next morning???

Funniest thing was Ash waking up and saying "Where the fark are all my clothes???" - his bag was on the floor completely empty and Brisby was snuggled up on the couch wearing them all.

    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally. 
    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
