Superlap Timeattack Is Ago!


Recommended Posts

Esky? I have just bought one of those beer bellies, so compounds my beer gut and gives me a 1.25L bladder that i can stash some real cheap scotch or vinegar or something in. But yeh, some schooners on the hill with empties being thrown at cars/drivers who are not turning on a spectacle. After all this is Australian Motorsport!

Once again this thread delivers the goods

The only thing I'm looking forward to more is the excuse thread (sorry wrap up thread) once it's all done and dusted. Now that will be entertainment :D

Hey yeah plenty of yappin, luv it Dirtgarage and, "The dogs bark and the carvans move on."

I will be driving it also on the day but not in timed session. FYI I drive it heaps and enjoy it yes. I am not sure why I or my car has been singled out as dirtgarage or Red Racing and Bell and others have V8 Supercar and other drivers. Keep it up though. Bozman covered this perfectly anyway.

Dirtgarage as mentioned you have Luke Searl driving who's car business partner. What business? Kettle black as Duncan mentioned but worth a try at least.

:D:):(

I treated you with the utmost respect when at your premises the other day...as a king should be respected in his castle. But you couldn't help yourself, could you John, every opportunity having a dig.

Paybacks are a bitch...arent they...

Reading this thread all morning and that was the best you could come up with? Your pathetic !

You have been singled out because most of us are in disbelief....you ringing other competitors about what your up to....you coming on here talking the talk...and now you pull out...unbelieveable

I cant wait for the 15 schooners after the event.

This thread is great be funny when every1 meets at the track on the 5th & have a good laugh about all the chit chat on this thread LOL

Well what is the time expected to win this. But what if it rains that will sort the men out from the boys. How well can these boys drive in the wet should be very interesting. I know i cant drive but i can drink.

Your full of sh1t...just for the record Dave owns the car. Luke Searle our steerer owns a Go-cart business, Dave can wop his arse on the go-cart track...so you CAN drive...technically a quicker driver than our nominated steerer. So in reality folks we are putting Luke in the drivers seat to handicap us a little as Dave has already proven he is a faster driver than him.

You just want to get on the piss with me all day...im onto your caper.

Whats the rules about alcohol at this event?...Im sick of walking around at drag meets drinking Jack Daniels out of a coffee mug.

Dirtgarage put your boxing gloves away and you must have thin skin if you think I was both serious or attacking you when you where here the other day. Your kidding right? I was holding back I thought.

Your argument is funnny and black is white or grey or....

Go Kart racing is vastly different to circuit racing and I would bet my zed that Luke would be faster by a second or so than Dave. Nothing against Dave as I know he is a very good driver and surfer too, but experience at the track in cars and expereince at Oran Gp can't be learnt in one day.

Dirt garage funny you should mention that next time you are at a police station at night see what is in their coffee cups, if you can. Stressfull job pulling over try hard test pilots with dirt garage shirts on, testing gtr's at night. I guess.. waiting....

Hey where is GTR Jason when you need some reving about speed boat racing or something.

GO Russ rev it up too whilst at it with the laughing stock that is gold. It was a smacking for sure.

my days of fighting in the ring are long gone John...you were not attacking me, just sh1t stirring/having a dig. Thats all im doing to you...nothing but livening up the thread with a bit of banter.

Ill bet that Luke is more than a second faster than Dave...a lot more...you should see him negotiate a roundabout...you'd swear he was on his surfboard then too!

    • Well I had 2 choices from then on. I either had to (reluctantly) move it on to another potential buyer and take the loss on the chin. Or I stick with it and turn it into a restoration project. I chose the latter. Project Snowstorm began! The frp body kit was the first thing to go. Turns out the original colour used to be silver. The Neo and gearbox were removed, along with the prop and exhaust system before it took a trip to the bodyshop, where I wouldn’t see it again for quite some time due to the pandemic hitting very soon after they took it away. Eventually, progress began and damage assessments made. Even the front chassis leg was in pretty bad shape!     Then the chopping commenced. For these guys it was just usual routine, to me it looked absolutely terrifying!   More to follow as I’m struggling to focus on my screen at 12:45 am!!!
    • That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard. I would go cut bellhousing over that monstrosity of a flywheel all day, every day. It puts a lot more mass further from the last main bearing. I've had nothing but problems with Collins in the past and refuse to ever buy their products again. I would not trust anything they tell you. He's playing his salesman card.  I'm currently at 640whp on a mustang dyno (~770bhp) with the intentions of running E85 and a lot more power this upcoming spring. Cheers, 
    • Nah, it's not the reduced knock margin. It is a direct mechanical effect of having to initiate the combustion earlier, while the piston is still rising, which starts to exert combustion pressure on the rising piston earlier, making the rest of the engine work harder to finish driving the piston up to TDC where the combustion pressure stops being a negative and starts being a positive. Your modern engine that only needs ~10° to make MBT doesn't waste the other 10 or so degrees of crank rotation. That's almost all of it. The difference in knock margin might go either way. Remember that modern engines to which you are currently comparing the long tractor engine (the RB) are now running super high compression, direct injection, tricky cam control and maybe even cylinder pressure sensors. You're not comparing apples with other fruit. It's apples and sea weed, or some other evolutionarily primitive vegetation. And remember, squish only really comes into play at the very end of the stroke. It certainly does good things, but it is not the biggest contributor to what's going on. It is quite possibly much less important in 4 valve head than 2 valvers also, because there is so much less squish available to a 4 valve anyway.
    • Food for thought, a longer stroke motor would need less ignition timing vs. a shorter stroke motor requiring more ignition timing.
    • Thanks Duncan, HART is only 10 mins from me (I did my bike license there), it'd be awesome if it ran these types of things.  Sutton Road does look good and they take fewer cars than SMSP which is good.  Surely you have enough land to lay a few million tonnes of concrete and some sprinklers D?
