Roy Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I suppose he was busy with work It was the first car i went looking for, was keen to see a few R32 GTSt with good power and how they handled the back part of OP. Adz seems to be struggling with his and it has even less power then a 30 would be making. And Johhny P, surely there is a panel shop out there that will do you the service of spraying the old girl for some panel space on what has to be one of the coolest and more original cars getting around at the tracks of the east coast? A liclk of paint and some tidy up and it would be a new car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LotusHPE Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Thanks to the local exhaust place, my car is now running again and able to be driven. Next stop is the panel shop for the rear bar and supports....Some great photos getting around... 3 seconds before impact !!!!! Rear shot of complete tosser... "jeez Brett, the front of your car doesn't look too good" says the old dude I'm glad your car is OK. I saw the front of the MRT car and wondered what he had been up to. The day started with a laugh for me - 1st session Middleton came in to check tyre temps. The front brakes caught fire - really on fire. We're yelling send it back out (only way to cool them) as they stand there looking at it. :laughing-smiley-014: As for the event, I think a 2 day format might be the go. More time for socializing and more time to run single car superlap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LotusHPE Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Oh, and that line he is taking in the photo is a joke. No wonder he hit you. NO WAY should he have been that close to anyone at any point. This is not racing!!!!! Back off to give yourself and others some space then get on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Yeh, shows the proximity to the car in front coming up to a blind crest just before a big stop where a car has already rolled He should have been using a lot more grey matter. LOL, his line also shows why he was quick, he was really hammering over the ripple strip, looks to be very little ground clearance in that shot! He was up the thing for sure! Shame, because he was quick and hammering out good times, just didnt seem to make any sense , unless he was trying out for the Blue Angels or the Roulettes.

Beer Baron Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 well aaron took it fairly well. I can think of half a dozen folks that wouldn't have been so cool and would have hit back. and not on the track... in the pits. haha. you should see the red faces when two GT3 cup cars come together. kevlar porsche motor sport bumper costs about $8K so a little tap on the bum usually gets a little tap on the face in return... not that I condone that type of thing. I have to go with mr lotus here. following an 'unknown' car and driver that close over the flip-flop is always asking for trouble. there is no room for error there and the braking distance is so different between drivers and cars. with only one real racing line it's a risky business.

Beer Baron Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 yeah the line is ok. it's definately the fast way through. just straight line the whole thing and hold on. have to commit pretty hard and just hang on. it's nast as hell on the car though.

Abo Bob Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 ZOMG finally caught up to the thread. I shouldn't have started from April... Congrats to all the SAUers out giving it a go and then some. Must be a weird feeling for some on streeters if you're used to semi's. I don't remember the last time I did OP on streeters. Did we have this discussion already or does it seem like Federal 595RS shouldn't really be classed as semis? I've have a pair and I love them but would class them as grippy street tyres that wear very well on the track. They would make a good control tyre for the class if they have the sizes available. Also, does anyone know how the evo managed to roll it? I'm never confidant I've got the right line over the flip flop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
