TODAY LADIES

[woolls]

well, who went? Was it a good day?

[johnGTS-t]

well, who went? Was it a good day?

yeah i went. i raced. i lived LOL

i was midfield most of the day (tagra b+c) 4th in race one and a new best of 1.03.2 down from 1.03.8.new 3'' exhuast helped. didnt get close to that time again all day though. got a tap in the rear in the last race from some hot headed bloke in a holden ute (what a stupid thing to race!!) didnt do much damage (anyone got a spare reversing light cover??). had to back off after that, started to missfire (overheated) good racing all day through the classes.

on the bad side ive worn out a front right,(2 big chunks down to the canvise) and my front pads.

ill have a new intercooler this week then i can turn the boost up abit and do a few other little things, get it dyno'd again and head to symmons, hopefully.

[woolls]

well done John.

[johnGTS-t]

well done John.

thanks!! intercooler arrived today. have to go on a sponsor hunt now

[sav man]

what licence to you need to run?

[woolls]

what licence to you need to run?

PC I think.

I will be doing the series next year

[sav man]

a PC licence wouldn't be so bad only $355 + Med. Aslong as it's not a International one, they start at $1294. I was thinking I could nick our Targa car and run it later in the year, or next year.

That stupid thing was running in the top 20 at Rally Tas the weekend before, surrounded by EVO's, STI's, Porsches and Lambo's... I don't see whats so stupid about it, its really not that much different to a monaro or commodore.

You just upgrade it, hastle Terry Curtain! we got one organised 3 days before the event!

However your GTR would probably have to Run Targa A as its based on lap times, so unless you have 6 piston calipers all round, a sequential box and about 700hp, you'll never catch andrew lawson.

[sav man]

is andrew lawson the RX7 driver? Wouldn't realy bother me, I just want to go racing.

Running within the top 20 at Rally Tas is a great effort and good on you for getting out there, a point of difference like running a ute or a wild color is always the best way to draw a sponsor.

I heard you guys had some pretty wild looking angles out of corners on stages! How did the tyres hold up?

I can see John's point of view, however minor the contact might have been he now has a damaged car and as Tasmanian circuit racing is hardly about sheep stations any damage is a pain in the arse and its not hard to run very close and not contact, but has to be something allowed for obviously.

a "sorry mate" after the race would of made me feel a whole lot better. these things happen and we take the risk but there is no reason to it on purpose (not saying he did).

good to know he ran top 20 in the rally. since our lap times where nearly the same, so might I have. and I bet its had tons more work done on it than mine!! For the record, mine is still 70% standard.
