Sandown - Sun 28 June

[Adz]

Hope everybody has a good day. What has happened to Matt and the R34? He was knocking on the door os some nice low times but has had his share of dramas....hope he gets out there and gets a PB!

Yeah I was wondering that too. Good luck to all tomoz. Hope the rain stays away. Is Ryan going if so hope he gives the GTR's hell.

the only hell i give GTR's at sandown is when i go round pulling out wires and boost lines.

Im not entered but im heading down to lend a hand with the DT, there is 12 of them entered...

I enjoyed the day - some really nice cars out there.

Sorry to hear about the GTR whose gearbox broke

[West]

Love the RB26 Z,

What's in that white Alfa GTV? It goes and handle well, looks like an improve production car.

It was a great day turned out to be nice weather aswell so that was good. Which GTR blow up a gear box?

[Roy]

So no Adam, Ryan, Chris, Ray, Datto boys?

[BBGTR]

What a great day for it, the weather was perfect.

I PB'd by 0.7 seconds for a 1.20.5 - It doesn't sound like much but I had to work for it.

Car was strong all day, and was also trying some DZ03 Dunlops - and I must say I really like them. Mid corner grip is excellent.

Was looking to crack a 1.19 as that just seems to be the thing to do at the moment but no joy - evey session was a mid 1.20.

Looking at some data from today it is just hanging on to the throttle that bit longer in some areas and I think I can crack it.

Here is some data from today

[Russman]

Wow. Not much news after a sandown? Wish I could have run. I didn't even make it down for a look.

Well done Tim. A 25 is an awesome time with your car. You must have the cahoona's to go over the back kink with speed now!

I stopped breathing for a moment when the E46 M3 went a bit wobbly around the last corner on to the main straight :S

haha yes saw that, it came pretty close to ending in tears!

I was happy with my 1.23.3, first time out since doing heap of work to the car, was just using the day as a bit of a shakedown.

Split the hose that runs from the turbos to the intercooler so the car was down on boost by more than 10psi for a couple of sessions then we attempted to fix it and only got one good timed session in where it went 1.23, each lap in that session the car was going quicker and the hose blew off with only a couple of corners to go on the 4th lap, felt like it would have done a high 1.22 for sure.

Oh well, at least everything else held together and will try make it out to Winton

what a great day, thanks to all the organisers and officials!!

finally had a good day at Sandown, went there hoping to crack the 1'25s and walked away with a 1'22.5 so I'm over the moon!

BBGTR, what's the data logger and software you're using there, that readout is great!!!

Hi, the logger and software is one of these: http://www.mmsport.com.au/productview.php?...mp;ppid=Logging

Great times yesterday by the way - 1.22's are really motoring.

jusus Sam, where'd you pull that last half a second?!!!

i really shouldnt have left when i did... would have been good to see you clock it.

awesome work! just wait till i get my semi's, then its gonna be ON!!!

that was a classic.

the 330ci did the same thing right in front of me, turn one.

i was happy with my high 1.31, cut two seconds off my previous time.

saw rmode's r35 out the back while on a cool down as well.

[some_cs_student]

Driver training was great, could have definitely done more sessions, there was too much waiting time in between sessions.

Sessions were great excluding the last one, where the small Alfa passed me on the chicane, I saw he was stuck on the track later, not sure what happened.

Oh, and during my last lap my kick panel fell out and my ECU ended up on the floor...

[JAGR33]

Well done Andrew on the FTD, not far now from getting a teen...

Good to see Ben (thebuzz) having a crack, 1:23's an outstanding result for your first time there, must have been the DT we did a year (or 2) ago.

Flying fridge, 1:22 is very quick aswell, have you been to many track days? Trying to remember if I'v seen your car out on track days...

And a HUUUUGE congrats to Tim in the little 32 GTS-T, 1:25 on street tyres puts quite a few other RWD cars to shame, obviously no FEAR in keeping the thing fully tapped....

Oh how I miss going to the track...

[vsute]

Massive thanks to everyone who pitched in to make the day happen,

I had a fantastic day with family and friends coming down for a watch through out the day . Was great to have my older brother come and watch for the 1st time ever and was even better to get the chance to put him in the car .

Times wise Im rapped by getting into the 25s gives me confindence to know that spending some money on it is going to be worth it.

Thanks to everyone for the congrats , muchly appreciated.

Sorry to see russell break his gearbox less than half way through the day, bad luck mate we'll get it sorted

Congrats to Shmicko on a all new overall PB at sandown of 1.27.4 was great to see his times dropping as well

im very keen to catch the briss mans time now ................ very keen

cheers
