Ouch - you and Brisby really are similar huh?

Hope you get it all sorted without too much drama.

lol, only in that we are both sydney boys and both have far more mouth than talent. I am far better looking than troy though.

yeah, it is not too bad. pride is dented about as much as the car. BUT I will do my best to get it semi-sorted for this wednesday. nothing like getting back on the horse that tried to kill me...

the plan is:

remove the kinked part of the exhaust (just the rear bit)

replace it with a straight piece of pipe so at least it's exiting in the right spot

try and wash off some dust (it's fcking everywhere)

get alingment checked

bleed brakes

then back out there to show it who's really boss.

[Mavric]

dude least its not tooo bad

[G3TFKD]

bad luck mate, too bad i left just as you went back out. ive got a few photos of you going around the track. nothing flashy...

[OZ GTR35]

BB, at least you were chasing a 1.45 lap when you did it

[Kero]

i was only at the track to cut helies on the grass at turn too

apparently the officials get the shits when you do that

lol, I think they have a photo of fatz in the control tower with a "ARDC's most wanted" at the top due to previous incidents dating back a few years... dunno what their problem is. the grass grows back afterall...

[tjandriesen]

Sorry to see you had a bit of a brush mate. Spraycan flat black on the rear bar will look really JDM....

[Ronin 09]

that's nothing a good dose of "harden the fcuk up" won't fix

lol

I dont know Troy is way up there in the good looking department *giggles*

You will be back out there in no time

Did it shake you up a little? Was it scary...or was it all over in a flash?

don't worry mate.

lol, don't tell troy you said that!

it didn't really shake me up too much. It was pretty scary though I guess as it was a pretty loooong slide. I lost it around I guess 140-160 and it was a very sudden spin. I then spent what seemed like forever just sliding backwards across the dirt and not really slowing down as fast as I'd like. lol. then i met the wall. the first part was over in a split second (from turn in to backwards) the slide seemed to last forever and gave me a good chance to sense the impending wall. after the love tap I just fired er 'up and drove onwards, completed half a lap and went into the pits.

haha Troy knows Also he can run faster then you can drive I have witnesed it lol *he will know what I mean* giggles

Far out!!!!

Lost it at 140-160km thats full on

So do you know what you did to make that happen?

Im just happy its not that bad and your ok....I bet it was scary as at those speeds

Thanks for posting that. it really brightened the day a bit. There is a good shot there of my coming into the hairpin with cars everywhere. I passed 5 cars on that lap! noice.

yeah, it was a nice effort. turn 10 is 4th gear, flat. It was a combination of things. rear end is not well set-up (too much swaybar and too much spring, so very stiff and very taily) basically I was pushing hard as I finally had the tyre pressures semi sorted and was catching another car at a few second a lap. it was last lap of the session, and by far my best so far so I was just pushing. I went out wider than I normaly do and turned in a little too agressively and the rear end came around far quicker than I could catch it.

so the contributing factors were

lack of rear end grip (poor rear end set-up on my part, and rear tyres not working)

pushing too hard

lack of talent

act of god

choose 2 out of 4.

[GoldZilla]

Ouch! Not good, Richard, but it could have been a lot worse, and at least it looks pretty easily repairable...

Did you cop any injuries (apart from the ego)?

pushing to hard

You have loads of talent and have heaps of experience, I think and have heard that eastern creek can be a bit of a hard unforgiving track

But atleast you know what the contributing factors were....its just one of those random ghey things

Rubbing is racing

[Beer Baron]

no injuries. just felt like more of a wanker than usual.
