This was a great event (was there for about 13 hours), such a shame the crowds werent bigger

The whole 12 hours was neck and neck between Evo's which was good to watch, the WBR WRX has a huge stack at 150k's into a wall and the word floating between teams was that they'd said nothing could be salvaged, they dont know how many G's it pulled on impact cause it broke the G meter.

There was absolutly SH!TLOADS of front rights blown out on the inside edge, some cars would be in every 30 mins for a new one. That was pretty crazy!

Daces ute locked up and understeered into a wall very early resulting in bent steering rack, control arms etc and a crack in the sump so it was all over for them - shame cause i was hanging out in their pit all day and the guys were looking forward to a big day of racing!

Google is a friend to all :thumbsup:

My bud Dean Grant was one of the drivers in that, but I can't get a hold of him. I'm assuming the driver was ok? Do you know who was driving at the time?

Heres Sundays shots, Light was epic in the morning... there are so many cause i couldnt cull them down:

I had the live results and commentary running all day which was pretty good, nfi who the commentators were but they were better than the usual Channel 7 ones.

Yea so did I,,,they were actually very good. Nothing like running through the whole field.

    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear! Stock quantities: NA1 Honda NSX - 1 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1990-na1-honda-nsx 1973 Toyota Celica LB 2000GT - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1973-toyota-celica-lb-2000gt 1968 Mazda Cosmo Sport - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1968-mazda-cosmo-sport 1970 KPGC10 Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R - 2 left: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/1-18-extra-scale-1970-kpgc10-nissan-skyline-2000gt-r
