Calder Twilight Sprints - Sat 20 Jan

[Do-Luck]

Yeah, it has a 2-way and Tein coilovers. Every corner she felt like she was going to give way, I only really had decent traction through the back chicane and the back straight

[Roy]

...and dont worry Matt... Its a rwd Skyline in the wet. It happens to all the greats

...and thats was after i kicked an pulled the panels as straight as possible.

[Espo]

I had a fun day yesterday, wasn't quite what I expected due to the lack of traction.

The last two sessions were heaps of fun.

Thanks to the people that answered my questions and helped me out during the day. Made it real easy for a first timer.

Let's just say Matt is very lucky his car didn't end up like that rex, I was directly behind him when it happened, spewing I wasn't recording with my incar vid, forgot to press record at the start of the session..

It definetly wouldn't be fun reversing at 130km/h....

[Jamezilla]

TB - I stopped running as the lights they set up at the end of turn 1 made it very hard to see where you were going. Mix that with not knowing the short track - and I was ready to take the car home in one piece.

Snows had boost issues, but lots of others had just had enough.

[Al]

Damn Matt, sorry to hear buddy. Glad to read that you're ok and the car is not too badly damaged. All the best!

[Bec]

OUCH! - sorry to hear Matt. Glad you are OK and hope you get everything sorted out OK.

Silly Melbourne weather - beers at Petes was a much drier alternative for us in the end.

[Mavric]

Heard about the car matt hope its not too bad, and that it gets sorted without any worries and we see you back out on the track soon.

[khunjeng]

so did any1 take any pics or video of anything during the day??

[West]

Shit weather!

Even the STIG spun out , i was standing near the Flaggies at the first coner(small track) saw the speed that you carried into it, i was like oh no, i hoped your tires are warm up.

I wish it was warm weather, see more flames, more red hot rotors.......

Yeah, it was a bit hard to judge that corner, never done the short track before so it was too late to do anything about it... That corner gets sharper through the middle....

I have some incar footage, will have to get Andrew (BBGTR) to host it up again for me, it shows how bad the conditions were... ATTESSA??? Nope, my car was like it was a RWD... Fun sliding though..

[phunky_monkey]

Sorry to hear Matt... hope all is well

[Belsil80]

Thats cool, i wish they ran a dedicated track day on the short track! bad luck matt,

No worries Jack.

I'll have to organise a pick up as I'm not planning to be at Ben's for a while unless something breaks or he finds that suspension in Japan that I'm waiting on

No worries, I'll get it on disk and pop it in your mail box next time I'm down your way... By the way, where were you yesterday???

It's a pity Beaumont left early, would have been interesting how the the EVO would have gone on the short track...

Snowy, you worked out what the problem was???

[Snowman]

Nope - that's a job for someone else.

All I know is my car has gone from a 0-100 time of around 3.5s to 35s. And it won't go up hills. lol

I like this one - just standing around scratching my ass...

[Sass]

hahaha, doing what you do best James?!

[Do-Luck]

As I was leaving, I saw the TMU car pull in. What were they there for?

[BBGTR]

I personally delivered my baby daughter, Bridget, on Friday morning!!! Now that is a day I will never forget!
