Beer Baron Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I choose:lack of rear end grip 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 ahh, you know just what to say yeah, EC can bite you hard. my friend did $80K damage to his porsche there at turn one. another friend pretty much wrote off his car there too and most track days I see one or two bad smashes. some of the walls are quite close to the track. inside wall at turn 1, and outside wall at 10/11/12 are all very close, in fact outside wall at 6/7 is pretty nasty too. hell they all are. and all concrete. well I will try and drag myself out to Oran park GP this wednesday so if anyone wants to come out there is a reasonable probability of me making a fool of myself. entry is free, but must pay for drinks afterwards if I bin it again.

GTR R35 Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Do not worry Richard " It'll buff out" I am gld it is only a minor ding as it could have been a lot worse at that speed. Makes me remember the double 360's I did comming out of turn 4 and seeing a lot of close white walls. Luckly for me I did not hit anything. I would leave the damaged bar on as it gives the car some cred.

Kinks Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Some shoe polish should buff that right out I'm surprised it took until page 2 for someone to say that.. although maybe it was all the "suspense" on page 1 fatz calls everyone a pussy, and he's usually right. but good on you for giving it some stick - to have a scrape you were obviously pushing pretty hard and to have a minor scrape means, like already said, that you have done something right to avoid having a bigger one!!

Beer Baron Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 sadly times were nothing special. Had only done about 12 laps, and only about 2 clear ones (lots of slow traffic). still good enough for 11th. It was annoying as I had just got the pressure stable-ish and was getting quicker every lap. I also have what I think is a badly slipping transfer case. out of corners the revs are flaring. sounds like either clutch slip or wheelspin, but it doesn't have the symtoms of clutch slip (I can't make it happen in a straight line at all) and the attitude of the car doesn't change (so not wheel spin, unless it's very slight). so I'm going to have to have a good look at that. probably would have been quicker in rwd!
