NSW State Supersprints 2009

[Michele]

It's a shame it was on the same time as the Hillclimb, it would have been great to be there. Supersprints are a lot of fun and more affordable for some of us noobs.

This is what I was doing on Sunday

[rmsport]

LOL at anyone wanting to run an open wheeler in a supersprint, I mean why would you? Competing with other open wheelers too hard or is this a gay NSW thing.

Do I detect 'sour grapes' ? Or is it 'mines bigger than yours', ooopps - can't be that - she's female !!!!

[Neil]

I really should enter the state rounds as well as the interclub series!

I beleive you should Chris,,,the mx5 would have loved sunday and SAU could also move up the field,,,I would love to see us at the TOP. If we had Michele,,,you,,,Brian,,,Duncan1,,,me and drag Ando along we would do very well.

Yeah!!! You will love the supersprints, more time on the track than the hillclimbs, but not too much so there isn't a lot of wear & tear.

[Neil]

Round 3 is this Sunday at Wakefield. Lucky for me I can do some testing Saturday,,,Michele can't.

So the big question is if the weathers good,,,will I be able to beat the big tyred,,,more horsepowered Formula car or will I have to suffer 2nd again.

Sunday arvo will tell.

Good luck Michele.

Neil.

[Duncan]

uh-oh the sh1t talking's starting *before* the round this time.

no hillclimb round clash this time Michelle?

CAMS NSW are idiots.....3 weeks ago the state circuit, supersprint and hillclimb champs were all on the same weekend

[Michele]

Thats more like it Neil makes it a lot more fun when you can throw sh!t at each other. All this practice you're getting with a lot less weight than me... you should do pretty good, but I'll be trying hard to keep up/ahead of you. I haven't driven Wakie for a loooooong time, in fact, I think both you and Duncan were there at my last look at Wakie. Hopefully I will still do okay, even without all that practice

Now if I can talk Tim Edmondson into coming, he will kick both our butts. I think Erol said he's doing 64-65's at OPGP - Tim might come to EC

No clashes this time Duncan :woohoo: but you do have to wonder how CAMS NSW approve clashing state championships.

[Michele]

And congrats to Anthony Preston for getting Outright, a well deserved win.

Edit - results are up http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/results....05/2009.WAKE.SS

[Duncan]

very interesting results, that little clubby is veeeeeeeeeery quick.

and you must be spewing to hit 1.04.0000 that is nasty. 1/10000 from 1.0

amazing effort from Duncan in the R35 as well....yep that is 1.05 is a standard car, just some semi slicks on.

Neil had an average day.....1 second slower than the day before and some sort of electrical problem causing it to cut out leading to early retirement.

only 2 weeks until the next round I understand

I was still happy with my time, it was a PB for me at Wakie. I noticed the clubby is in type 5, but am unsure what changes he has made to make him type 5, surely it can't be slicks alone, because it said Leigh was winning the 'clubbies on slicks' class on the time sheets. Perhaps someone can explain the differences?

Yes, only two weeks to go and I've never been to EC before so expect to be but looking forward to running there. That's if I can keep my car together from IRACE for the two days before at OP *fingers crossed*

Have you looked at doing IRACE Duncan?

Have you looked at doing IRACE Duncan?

Congrats on the PB Michele, I have been looking into all different types of series that are out there at the moment and IRACE was one of them. You will love that series there is a fair few formula holdens and alike racing in their formula tasman class.

[evil_weevil]

1.05 from Duncan is fkn hooooting along!

Well done mate!

Poor Niel, hope its nothing major and a quick/easy fix

Thanks Ryan - I did IRACE at OP last year and it was fantastic - The other Formula cars are running some serious engines and pass me like I'm just there for the Sunday drive, but its still a LOT of fun and I won't miss it for anything. This is the only circuit series where I am allowed to run with my car. Apart from this, there is only supersprints and hillclimbs... all of which are fun, just not the same as door to door racing (if I had a door that is).

[Beer Baron]

wow, not bad that a 1800kg road car, on semis and still standard is quicker than the radical, and only 1.5s of the formula car. pretty sharp pace. you will have to shake him up next time neil! I was in a radical the other day and they are bloody fast. garth was saying they do 1:30s or maybe 1:40s at phillip island. nuts.

[Michele]

woohoo I just found out I broke the class (5E) record yesterday at Wakefield Park - Neil do you have a copy of what the previous records were?

Yep I do have them somewhere,,,but you would have smashed it. From memory it was a clubby in the 6's. I'll have a look and post them up.

As Duncan said,,,my day was indeed average. After doing 1.04's saturday I screwed up all my quick laps or the car played up. No excuses though that how it goes sometimes. I knocked 2 seconds on my old best so I'm not tearing up.

I finally put the "Team Raceworx" sticker on the car,,,,could that be why she broke down???. Melinda wants it gone.

Thanks for grabing my beacon Michele,,,with the car breaking down I forgot all about it.

Richard,,,Duncan's R35 has more in it and he got held up on numerous occasions. I made the point of going and watching him. He did Nissan proud.

Neil.

How do I join team raceworx?

[Merli]

How do I join team raceworx?

I looked into this earlier, but the wacky joining criteria made it prohibitive.

1. You must have blown up at LEAST 3 RB26s.

2. You must have burnt off your fingerprints (goes to the whole Raceworx black ops thing they have going on in the background. Racing is just a front.)

3. You must at all times have burns, bruises and cuts from welding, slamming doors on fingers and angle grinder "incidents".

4. You must wear king-gee shorts and prance around backyards pretending to work.

5. General dress requirements: Welders gloves and mu-mus.

[Beer Baron]

yeah raceworx = too hard. I joined clutch fckers instead. all I had to do was give pete a 'hug', drink 10 pints in 1 sitting, chirp 2nd gear, talk like I am slightly retarded and put the sticker of 'penis man' on my car. easy.

[evil_weevil]

the both seem hard to join

With raceworx, Ive only got pt 4 going for me!
