Whos Going To Qr On Saturday?

[Duncan1]

Wondering if there are many skylines [or other vehicles of course] heading up to Queensland raceway for the 20th sep saturday afternoon sprints ... wondering what the format is???? was wanting to do a few laps. Can this be done without competing in the sprint series. [dont feel like punishing the poor thing that much yet!] What time does everyone arrive etc, is there a run through of rules and regs etc???

I cant till my car is back on the road dunc, Zenon is a regular there, Not too many others from these boards.

Dont worry bout your lap times. If you're running a new car in Just ask to be put in the slow bracket and go enjoy yourself.

Zennon wont be going saturday but you should have fun.

Make sure you pre-enter as entering on the day is a thing of the past.

Last time I went (27-Aug) was on a Wednesday.

Wednesday's are heaps better because there are less cars and you get to do the clubman and the sprint track.

Anyway there was 4 skylines (including me), 6 porches, 3 rotaries, 4 new minis, and a few others.

Cant even remember what time it is on saturdays.. think briefly is around 12 or something or maybe

Use to have to get there early so get a pit spot but these days they allocate pit spots based on when you enter

(hence fax your entry form in early!)

Remember to wear natural material long pants and long shirt (not plastic thats melt to your body)

In the old days it was three sessions which each had 1 warm up lap, 5 hot laps, 1 cool down lap,

and then if they had enough time (didn't pull people out of the kitty litter etc) you get a 4th go..

These days I think it is very rare to get a 4th session in due to amount of people...

Anyway enjoy!

Saturday arvo's are shit Duncan. You are flat out getting a couple of track sessions because of the numbers.

There is far better value in the wednesday sprint and even better value still in the time attack sprint sereis run by Mountain runner on these forums. Its a tad more exy but you will get more than double the track time over the qr events.

You dont have to enter the Time Attack series to go with Mountain Runner, he has groups according to experience and also has a beginner lecture for newbies that gives you a good idea on whats what out there on the track.
