Superlap 2009 Gets A Green Light!

[Neil]

Mmmm, thats a good offer! Neil always comes with beers, what a legend.

Im suprised you're not running in Duncans R32.

How do you feel about binning cars?

Sorry Steve no beer till after the racing is over. Yes I'm more than happy to down a gut load afterwards.

Duncan's car is a combined tourer which makes it basically standard. Not the best choice of car.

He or I could proberly get his car into the top 10-15,,,but thats a waste of valueable resources and I'd like to see him do a full year in C/T and win.

How do I feel about binning a car you ask. Well to start with I'm not in the habit of do such things. Crashes usually happen for 4 reasons:-

1/ Vehicle fault----somewhat out of my control,,,not totally but somewhat.

I had a front control arm break at turn 1 O/P G/P in the Radical at warp speed and only killed the front tyres and a very soiled race suit.

2/ Driver brain fade---not something I suffer from. I've had my moments but never actually smashed a race car yet.

3/Argueing with other cars---superlap is basically a lengthened supersprint,,,so that shouldn't happen.

4/ Someones rubbish left on the track,,,be it fluids or parts---very dangerous and almost totally out of my control.

If I binned someones car it would be for a very good reason mate.

But if you are asking would I pay for the damages my answer would be no.

Love as always

Neil.

Hey Nathan are you around?

I saw this rule in clubsprint class:

• All vehicles entering the Superlap Clubsprint Class must have a full interior. The only exception is for vehicles which have a half cage which needs the back seat to be removed.

I've got no interior trim but the car is still over factory weight (about 1500kg). Can it run in clubsprint?

Well, my contract has been officially extended, so my attendance is now purely in the hands of friends who will need to help me get the car ready. So no chance as these things take time when i am doing it let alone relyign on friends to donate time

Oh well...the car would have been too pretty to get stone chips on anyway

I can't speak for everyone here, but I enjoy a good cat fight between JP and DirtGarage. Gutter it up!

New Thread - Let the battle begin!

Where is your entry Scotchfinger. I will pay for tyres and fluids if you let me pony up in your car, i think a car can have dual entries I mean Snowcone almost punted it, Hanndbags drives it through the grey haze of the morning after....if ever there has been a guy with the skill to bin your car its me

Yep I had a bad cold on the last Superlap, and why I was not jumping up and down on the Vid, lucky I had Johnny Boston there to rev it up, and he did a great job driving and on vid.

Lots of good cars gearing up for this next one. More new entrants to with tough cars, including Sam Markov's immaculate and fast R32 GTR. This next one will be bigger and better than the last one.

Yes in the off season we are pumping the Slot Car up. Better brakes, suspension, more aero, lighter, PPG dog box and more.

fats get that 31 out there, you know you want to.

Hi All,

I hope everyone had a good Christmas and New Year. Just so you all know all needed forms to enter are now available on the Website. Entries are filling fast so anybody interested in joining in on the fun/competition should get there entries in soon to lock in a spot.

Also Oran Park is going to run Open Practise on Saturday before the event. It is open to anyone who wishes to attend and I believe it will be $140 per car.

Cheers

Still thinking about it. I might be putting money towards other things. Motorsport budget will be a bit tight this year too.

What is the max entrants in each class? I just want to know how soon I need to commit if I'm doing it.

[wrxkilla]

massive shame the pre-event practise isnt mid week or the friday for us interstaters.

Can't come and sit in Sydney for a week waiting... lol

[Roy]

Are entries refundable if you are not able to make it. I want to enter, but common sense keeps prevailing and i realise its too hard to get back from OS and have a car thats ready. But the way the job is going i could get sacked any day so

Hi,

We do not really have a cap on classes only on the veent total which is 70.

Same applies as last year we do not do refunds however your money and entry is kept on file for a later event for you to enter the next one etc.

There's some nice hills quite close...

[wrxkilla]

lol!

more wanting to at least do a couple of laps to familiarise, never been on oran park. lol

[Swiper the Fox]

Luke is unable to drive due to him recieving VIP passes to F1

Looks like Dave is our new steerer...never driven at Oran but his kart lap times are impressive...was the lap record holder up here for some time until Luke ran a few 10th's better and runs quicker than a multiple State go-kart champ. 4WD sedans are a different proposition though.

Dave is the registered owner of the car and as its his daily driver...full interior complete with baby booster seat in rear, we could go clubman...but tyre choice may keep us in opens.

Yes Beer Bitch but Bozman is heaps lighter than you wide arse lot, so he has a advantage straight off.

I tell you what, if any of you three get down to within 40kg of Bozmans weight you can drive it.

PS Yehaaaa I received my Pro Class invitation and entry form today Nathan.

Congrats on the Pro Class invite JP

Do you have any front upper arms we could use? (broke ours at the last event)

I went up to machine shop this morning to give them a hurry up. They just started back at work after the break. They are close to pivoting centre arms and will have in time and yes. Reason they break is they are loaded as you know they want to go through an arch, and all the arms and bushes on the market only allow to go though one plane and hence they break. They also restrict suspension and act like a stiff shock indirectly, and when they don’t they are starting to work lose and then have play in front end. The more camber and caster of a race car accentuates the problem. Odd thing is some cars get away with it with little or no prbos, whilst others have on going problems. All are binding though and restricting travel or free movement of suspesnion.
