Uncle Duncan Wins A Race!

[BOZ22N]

Good read Neil.

Go DUNCY GO

[FineLine]

bloody hell this is character assasination

Nonsense! You actually have to be of good character for that to happen. :laughing-smiley-014:

"Japanese invasion"?

Stupid commonwhore loving yobbos.

Interesting to read the V8 take on the race

Funny how there was no mention of this GTR being a 20 year old, mostly driveway-built 206KW *nugget* against a couple of workshop backed 300KW+ almost brand spanking new taxis

[BezerkR32]

yeh, best of both worlds, i am torn.

But yet you still chose their motors

[Kel]

Now while we've been having a little bit of cheeky fun with this thread I should point out that there is always brilliant, skilled racing in the CTC category, regardless of the badge on the car.

Should also mention that most of the commodore guys seemed genuinely pleased to see Duncan FINALLY finish a race, and finish it well.

(and yes, I am still in trouble for posting that pic)

[phunky_monkey]

bloody commodores are already wide enough. at least we can rely on wakie not being hot and dry. I'm loooking forward too it but I would rather a couple of sprint races than one enduro really.

yeah the mount I got was from RR as well. they are cheaper on ebay though. it is attached to the rear passenger window, gives good in cabin view for my use in reviewing laps but not great for mounting it maxmising external view thru the windscreen. the best mount I've had for that is from the passenger side roof at the a pillar - these cameras have very wide angle heads so you need to mount them right forward. this is from that spot

Thanks Duncan. Is yours the suction mount, or the window mount version.

These seem like a pretty cheap option: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...=tab%3DWatching

[Duncan]

yeah mate its the same one in that link. I just paid 3x for it It holds a light weight like a camera head easily and firmly. not sure how it would go holding a whole camera though, and as I said window is not necessarily the best place for in cabin shots.

[phunky_monkey]

I want to try mounting it off my cage as I had a cage mount put on for my Handycam... waste of money that was!

But I also want to try mounting it off the window and where you mentioned near the A pillar also. I just wasn't sure whether to get one like the above, or the 'Ultra Clamp' type from Race Recall http://racerecall.com/mounts__cases.html Can you tell me how the POV head mounts to the screw type fitting on the ebay clamp I listed? I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed

[Strik3r]

Dan came up with a pretty good setup for recording track time on my car. Spy pen, zip tie + numberplate ftw. Might not be applicable to race-style events as the camera might get crushed if you were to give the car in front a Duncan-style love tap, but for time attack where you dont have to worry about contact, it's pretty secure.

the spy pen was like $80 and can do over 5 hours of continuous recording. Plugs straight into pc/laptop and the files are already in avi or wmv format.

some proof this is a proper driveway built car!

the shelter came out when it started pissing down this arvo

D is still out in it getting the poor old girl ready for the 1-hour race at Wakie this weekend (and I'm guessing still cursing we won't have the 3 car + hoist shed built until June at least)

[JAS-25T]

do you know what time the race is on sunday?

[Kel]

do you know what time the race is on sunday?

So does that mean you're coming down to help change a tyre Jase?

[Neil]

Oh yea,,,forgot about that little oversight. I'm at Oran Park this weekend,,,so Duncan needs help. 3 heads actually,,,1 to hold the car (no touching) 1 on the jack (also the wheel swapper) and 1 changing the wheel.

Ha Ha I could use some help too,,,but Duncans racing is a lot harder than mine.

Neil.

[Duncan]

sorted thanks mate.....we have 3 trusty volunteers doing the glory tyre changing job this weekend.

[JAS-25T]

*puts hand up*

I'm going WSID tonight in the golf, I'll try not to snap my hand when that torque steer starts pulling the car.

[evil_weevil]

I would help out Duncy but Im in Mudgee for work this weekend

[Merli]

some proof this is a proper driveway built car!

Hey Duncan,I'm thinking about becoming a paid up member of the club for amongst other benefits being able to go to race tracks on track days and give my GTR 33 a run,just wondering if you can tell me what's required of me before I can race on the track or even do solo laps to avoid hitting or being hit,as I don't want to damage my baby just want to have some fun legally??Cheers Grey Pearl.
