Got out on the weekend to blow away the cobwebs since my crash and broken shoulder.

I'm off the pace a bit by 2.5seconds (normally 1m17s), but it felt good to be carving up the slower guys :P

Up front and "in the groove"

Passing a slower rider (and pulling a gap on the guy behind)

Next turn

Did I lose them? :D

Now for the slower guys again

It was funny because my GF was freaking out ... worried I'd crash and injure myself again! :P

She even imposed a rule: Crash and break any bones, and its no sex for a year! ;)

I'll blame her for my 2.5 second loss :rofl:

:P

Hello guys,

New to this forum, from a motorcycling background had a nasty crash at Oran Park.

Hurt my confidence alot :-(.

So i thought ill see how much fun a r32 GTR would be but nothing comes close to bikes the rush is just so unreal.

Love the R32 GTR great car, alot safer too.

Race bike NC30 VFR400 btw, great on track have a ball all the time.

pretty awesome stuff right there! bet it felt good to be blasting away in a controlled environment again! i take it the shoulder is 100% now? if so good to hear.

:P

It feels 100%. But I'm still out of racing for the rest of the year. Track days only for me :P

Feels fit and good, but wouldn't want to crash in any case

;)

I've raced an RS250 around the track (including Phillip Island) and track day with a VFR400 and they're lots of fun. Not as fast, but far much more fun! :D

Yeah, the rush of lapping the track on a bike is uncomparable to anything else ... maybe even sex ;)

how much did ur heart drop when she told ya that rule lol

I knew she was joking ... to a point. :P She was swell about it. Even encouraged me to get it out of my system. She was there where I crashed at the start of the year and broke my shoulder, and was there all the way through the rehab/physio, so she's been totally swell about it.

:P

BTW, the other guys in the pics above are on 1000ccs. Goes to show that a 600 is better suited to the Mallala circuit. Carries better entry and exit speed.

I take it you were at Mallala on Monday? If so, did you check out Munro's street GTR on the track - he was pulling 1:17s - keeping up with Keir in his Lambo Gallardo :ermm: - unfortunately I was crook so didn't make it out there to watch. :geek::huh::cool:

Nah Andrew, they never have Cars and Bikes out there on the same day, Bike prac was on Saturday before all the dwiptas.......

^^^ since when is that Darren? Last 2 times I took the S15 out for a public day they had 3 different sessions for 3 different vehicle classes. Don't they do that anymore?

Yeah they do, last time i went there was go karts, then the mini clubmans/formula 4's and then normal cars

The S15....... Christ that going back........lol

They never have Cars/open wheelers AND Bikes on one day, because if a car comes off at the kink it will smash the airbags to bits.......

So on a Prac day it goes like this:

Go Karts

Open Wheelers / Clubmans

Tin Tops (CAMS holders)

Tin Tops (Day licence holders)

Unless you have a private prac day which is what i think was on that monday......... hence why the bikes were out on the Saturday during the day and drifters were out at night!!

thats awsome man! let us know when ya out again and we will come have a squizz!!

good stuff!

I'll be out there Sunday watching the racing. Its gunna hurt watching knowing I'm missing out :) No racing for me until next season.

I might be out on the track next on Saturday 19th July from 10.00am, depending upon the weather of course.

:)

    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
    • I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
    • Wonder what the cause is, but here's hoping it's nothing too serious.
