need to be there by like 8.30am

am pretty sure its a 1.5 hr drive - so i plan on leaving home about 7ish

*fingers crossed* it gets me there in time :D

there is also a group of officials leaving the Village Green at 7am

Damn, that was seriously cold and wet!

Didn't get to take many pics due to being reasonably busy with flagging. Here's the pics I did take. Apologies to the drivers that my camera auto flashed :):banana:

this was a test to see how long the cam took to take a pic... at least there isn't a blurry car in it

Note to self: Get a new camera... that's not crap

Good day though, especially the free lunch :) Noting too exciting near my corner which is a good thing for the cars, just a couple of geese that got too close to the track :O

Aaron did a 1:44.8.. :worship:

That is all....

Aaron is BACK!!! Yeahhhh damn that's impressive.

I wanted to be there, but had last minute f*ck up with my car.... I'm going to get down there for the PIARC weekend

Was a great day, Just glad my car kept on keeping on without too many hiccups... It was dissapointing some of the other datsuns didn't get through scrutineering considering they had both raced before with the same setup, but what can you do..

I don't suppose anyone has any pics of the datsuns?

I think i saw someone with a camera on turn 2 in the wet, and i'd love to see the photos :worship:

Yeah i had a good day as well, only got in the practice and one session before the rain though. While i'm on that... what the hell happened with the day? gates opened around eight and drivers briefing still going at 10:30? plenty more session could have come before the rain if things were running on time!

That aside i benefitted from some bigger wheels/ tyres and some new front suspension and brakes. it was great to be able to pull up with ease, one extra vote for the QFM A1RM pads :worship:

How would i go about joining the PIARC day in about a month?

It was a good weekend. as good as it can be when you arent driving. not a very big skyline crowd down there for some reason.

As for the track day itself, unless there is some unknow hiccups behind the scene, it was average... Cars were not on track until 11ish!!! the porsche club were there today and they were on track at about 9am....

I don't suppose anyone has any pics of the datsuns?

    • Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too. 
    • Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.
    • Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.  
    • Dashcams Australia (13/05/25) captured JDMHSE (Vic plate) being a right tosser. 
    • Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
