Well guys....it's on again, Our entry forms go in tomorrow. Due to the day being changed from Sun to Sat we have lost 2 of our drivers so Mick and I will be going it alone this year.

We did post in the Qld forum looking for another car and driver or 2, but no takers.

We need a new set of tyres The O32R we ran last year are not available,and, it's proving dificult to get anything else in the sizes we want.

We are now thinking of going full slick and praying for nil rain on the day (yes, it did rain for a short while last year)

Has anyone tried out Dunlop D11s...that would seem to be the choice, 265 on the back and 240 on the front

cheers Jay

bugger, I have missed this again this year....hoping to drag the car up there next year.

The yoko a032r weren't great tyres so dont worry about them....what size are you looking for? Dunlop DZ03 were the tyre of choice at Targa, other decent ones are bridegstone re55 (if its pretty dry) or toyo 888. yoko a048r replaced the 32 and are probably available but they are just as expensive and bad

Good luck Jay

Duncan I'll post a bit earlier next year. Maybe we could team up and run as Team Skyline Racing

We have 17x81/2 front and 91/2 rear can't get over 255 in anything. So we are thinking of the Dunlop D11s in 240.625 front and 265.625 rear.

i'll have to check if any of my friends are bringing their porches out. Wayne was meant to bring his 996GT2R out last year but had overheating issues in the test sessions building up to it so pulled the pin.

like last year it looks like a good event. wish i could be up there (and have a car to run)

good luck 51jay

hmm I've never had the pleasure of running on new slicks (although I do have a set under the bench I am itching to try).

But I get the impression they won't be worth more than say 1 sec over semi slicks, and you run the risk you will have to watch everyone else driving around if it rains

Anyway, let us know how you go, good luck!

Settled on DZ03s 235 45 front 255 45 rear. They should last a bit longer than the D11s.
