Targa Tasmania 2009

[PHaT MR30]

Now I'm even more puzzled as to how you knew he was my cousin! Or rather, how you knew I was his cousin.

Now I'm more confused!

You said on nissansilvia/hardtuned that you had moved down and were his cousin (he had mentioned you before I think?)

[Cyph-R33]

Ahh indeed I did.

Looks like I'll need to have a gander at the Targa Tas website soon and see when things are on and whereabouts in relation to Launceston, so I can plan some day trips around the place to go and watch!

btw for any navis lurking on this thread (who aren't facebook friendly).

Mozza has passed this on to the Rallying Nav's & Co-Drivers of Australia group on facespace...

Peter Leimuss requires a Nav/co driver for the lefthand seat of his R35 GTR SKyline, please conact Helen Coad at the TARGA TAS office to book your seat,

EXPERIENCE IS VERY NECESSARY,Vandenberg pace notes, and weight is an advantage (or lack of!) !!!!! Flights, accom etc provided

Having done 2 rallies with Pete I can definitely vouch for his driving

Aww I so wish I was qualified!! That would be awesome!

[Marlin]

Leavin his run a bit late ole Pete ineee.

Jenna woulda been spot on for this but she's got a ride in a Dak Dak with Maxxy.

I don't reckon navvie weight will be too much of a drama, heck, they could be 100kg and still only be .002% of the car weight!

Where's Fatz?

After spending the 1st evening with the new toy I don't know if I'm more looking forwards to the racing or the recce now!

They really are a very nice bit of kit and I can see why they'd have to be the car of choice for Targa.

[Marlin]

Phew! Finally built up the courage to try transfering the car into full Qld rego today

Yesterday I obtained mod plates for 6 point cage, brake upgrade, two seater, race seats, harnesses, boot fuel system. Held my breat and went down to Qld transport this morning.... sailed through! YEAH!!!

SHAKE and BAKE!

Hey TT, awesome offer my man!!! I've been thinking about it a little more.... car is on a truck to MPC in Melbourne next week, maybe we could send the setup there, they an corner weight and wheel align?

And this "Benno - Thanks mate, it was you who made the difference!!! " is that me or are the kudos for someone else?

Hey....... WHO ELSE IS PUMPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wanna go faaaaast!!!

[sav man]

you getting some dms Ben?

who wants to be Ben's replacment in team shake n bake? person must wanna go fant, and/or come and people like a spider monkey.

if dad's picked the car up, i'll be ripping the interior out of the car this weekend. i'll recon i'll need to find the local dryice dealer to get the tar off (nice if one of the previos owners alread did it)

[Marlin]

Well Greg very kindly offered a lend of it! Told you before you meet the best people in rallying

I'm still tossin it up I reckon I have a pretty sweet dry setup now and I've spent some time in the wet, and a big thing is I know the car how it is. I've no doubt the DMS would be easier to handle in the wet, and likely quicker..... but, the 64 thousand dollar question.... will it be wet or dry? Or both?

I'm also runnin short of time, would need to PAY to get it installed and corner weighted in Melbourne - another 5 to 600 spent.... just gets outa control.! And what if I bend it? I own it then! You're hearin me hey

[sav man]

most i've spoken too are banking on it being mostly wet. my guess we will have 1 solid day of rain, but the weather is next to impossible to prodict atm.

[DJRIFT]

who needs a r32 trained service guy as im not keen to crew form my team as they are running in.... well its not nissan so its to hard to explain

Gee mate, if I had only known earlier we could have had time to organise something! I've just shelled out today for my service crew.... three and a one half thooouuusand dollars. Took me an hour to write the cheque! lol

Who is crewing for you Benny? I'm guessing MPC from your earlier post?

well i am a mate of Savmans and skyvas but i wasnt sure what i was doing with last years crew. i will no doubt be floating about over the weekend events but still not sure.

I was on a really good deal last year but didnt really think that anyone would match it for this year so i just sat back. now with all the hype of the even growing i kinda want to be involved again.

sorry about that

[PHaT MR30]

What are peoples thoughts on not having time cards this year (allegedly).

The go is they will have a white board at the stop point where your car number and finish time will be written. however, i don't believe whiteboards and markers work all that well in the wet?

I don't like the idea of not having a physical time written.

Why don't you want to service for kerry? don't know enough about the VW? CBF? all of the above?

Should look after savman if he doesn't already have anyone.

[Marlin]

Yes Kel, MPC. The guys are great, and always do a superb effort. I was hoping for a speccy deal this year like I got last year, but what with five of their normal runners pulling out over the last couple of weeks, unfortunately, full whack it is.....
