Stupid Toyota Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 So... the big question is- Who is coming out to race, and who is coming out to watch? It's on the Sprint circuit this time, and they are 18 lap races. Anyone brave enough to come play with R33RACER and me? Anyone? Anyone at all??? AMEC? How about it mate?

r33_racer Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 We will be out fo shizzle. I posted about this in the qld events section, but it seems that not many people are actually into motorsport these days. Well, atleast real motorsport, ie. circuit racing, i think the general population are more simple minded and enjoy the likes of drag racing or the even more pointless form of drifting. Its sad.

Yeah, I think maybe after years of self abuse, it just came naturally for them to advance to auto abuse.

Plenty do the QR sprints but racing is a different matter. Firstly competing against big dollar cars, second the perception that your car will likely get run in to and damaged by someone shooting for sheep stations. Then there is the very popular Morgan Park sprint series, some of which is more interesting to watch than processional racing. And lots of fun to participate in.

Stupid Toyota Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 Plenty do the QR sprints but racing is a different matter. Firstly competing against big dollar cars, second the perception that your car will likely get run in to and damaged by someone shooting for sheep stations. And yet plenty of them go drifting, which is a lot harsher on a car, and the probability of body damage is so high its essentially a guarantee... All the circuit guys are careful about shunting another car, because it ruins the day, and we'd rather not be spending money repairing the body. The carnage at 12 months of JDM racing wouldn't even equal one practice night at Archerfield I reckon. Anyway, we're out there for fun and thrills, not carnage and spills so don't let the idea of being run into drive you away. We don't have big dollar sponsors to pick up the tab if the cars written off or damaged. All comes from our own pockets Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/186493-jdm-round-3-qld-raceway/#findComment-3376439 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You give them too much credit. Their idea of motorsport is driving to the spit on a Sunday or going for coffee To answer the question though, I won't be ready this time out. If Russ gets the 34 ready it will be nice having a couple of them out on track next year.

GTRgeoff Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 John, that toyo is just...well...stupid. I've seen it before and it is great. I'll try get out Saturday for a look.

Unfortunately retirement doesn't provide enough cash to race seriously anymore. Thanks mate (I think lol) Unfortunately, I wont be out this weekend except as a spectator. Realised a little too late that the car has a blown headgasket from the last round and I really wasnt in the mood to swap the engine out of the other car into it. I've stripped it all down now to give it a freshen up instead, plus I'll be making some changes to the cooling arrangement. Annoying, but thats cars for you I guess.
