Irace At Oran Park 15-16/1/10

[Duncan]

Hey guys, Irace have a round at Oran Park on Friday 15 and Saturday 16 Jan. This is genuinely the second last chance to race at Oran Park.

It's Irace so essentially no rules - even my car can't run in production cars (more than 5 years old) so it is running in "muscle cars" where I will get slaughtered.

Still - its about the last chance around.

To race there you need an Irace logbook, and a CAMS or AASA race license, thats about it. http://www.irace.net.au

I'll be there pending fixing my cooling problems - who else is in???

I'll be in for pit bitching if you need a hand Duncan.

I need a cage before I can race race...

[evil_weevil]

Im trying to be there....I really need my car fixed and sorted before - but all workshops are closed over Xmas

I'll be pushing for time..

[Duncan]

Matt let me know if you can get out there, we can always use a hand.

Chris I've got a shitload to sort before then too (eg I can only run 3 laps before I overheat ). working on that tomorrow and next monday when the radiator hopefully turns up - but lets face it this is the 2nd last run at OP (and I don't know the deal with the last race meet) so I will move everything I can to get there.

Anything I can help with? Is it critical to fix before then? I can try and sort a shop if that will help, I have organised one for my car tomorrow

[evil_weevil]

Duncan., yeah dude that would be tops, if you know a shop that could help and knows a wee bit about mx5 1.8l that would be great.

I'll even put their workshop name up in the timing part for natsoft so they get some kudos! heheh

Its got a really rough idle, slight oil leak and is down in a bit of power, Im hoping the motor isnt goooone LOL

Exactly, thats what I dont want to miss out on this event!

Have you got your log book done?

[evil_weevil]

unigroup to the rescue!

Yavuz went into the workshop and got my msg on msg bank and email and called me asap - car is booked in for the 11th Jan

[evil_weevil]

if you do come for a look cone say hi in the control tower!! Will be doin race control

[Duncan]

sorry to hear that Chris.

looks like I'm right to be there, car is at the workshop but should be back tuesday.

happy too have a hand (hopefully won't be needed) or just drop by and say high.

unfortunately I am banned from production cars because the car is more than 5 years old which is utter crap as far as I'm concerned - the car is otherwise compliant with their production car rules, and other guys I race in NSW state champs are allowed in prod cars because their taxis are less than 5 years old.....so I have to run in open class instead. I'll give it a go but unless it's great I won't be back with those guys.

[evil_weevil]

Thats horse shit Duncan sorry to hear

I guess the taxi's knew when you came back that yyou would win again! (what was it, 4 wins from 5 starts?)

yeah f**k them.

do Irace and MRA - prob much cheaper too!

[Sinful]

Hey Duncan was it Rod that your were speaking with???

I just had a chat with Garry Willmington and brought up what you are saying..

Go and see him on friday morning before qualifying and have a chat he will more than likely put you in production group... I told him you regularly run in Improved Production...

They are just unsure of new drivers and there times to suit there catogories entering the series They probably think you will be too fast for the Proddy cars

Garry will help you out just go and see him

Hope you have fun and will come down and say hi on saturday!!

P.s Good Luck

[Duncan]

Thanks Jess, I'll have a chat to Gary and make sure I take the prod car wheels I'd be much happier there since that's what's it built for.

Chris it was Irace that weren't letting me run in production cars (only because of age). I still can and will compete in the NSW Champs in Prod cars.

[Neil]

Jess,,,Druncan runs Combined touring not Improved Production,,,which makes it all the more silly. I will remind early on. Thanks by the way.

You better come down and say HI or we will come looking for you girla,,,we know where you hide.

It's a massively big 3 days for us,,,Duncan Friday/Saturday and me on Sunday. We will be stuffed come Monday.

Shit hope I'm quicker in the car than on the keyboard.

I'll be at OP on Sunday assisting Duncan Forrest.

I have a huge library of wma files - about 20 gigs (they all are from Napster) and I can successfully listen to them on my home PC.

Now I bought a car mp3 player so I need to burn all my music to MP3 disks to listen to when I drive. And, of course, I can't do it because files are protected. I've done a brief internet research and found many progs that claim to convert Napster wma to mp3. I've tried some of them, because if I pay for the soft to use MY purchased files - I want to know if it worth the price. I think this is what I need. wma to mp3 (drm-removal.com or whatever, ask me - will find it again) What do you think?

Would you folks recommend me something?

I recommend you listen to them all while your ban winds down?

No worries always here to help

so sorry i get confused with who runs in what at the moment cause involved in so much lol

i told Garry that duncan will be coming to speak to him in the morning...its more about times and stupid quick cars in the wrong group and the racers not getting a fair race... He will watch your times and then choose right group for you...

Garry runs his meetings a bit different to others but loads of fun and awesome cars turn out..

Will be at OP on sunday as well...Neil I got to steer Fricker Radical around Oran Park last sunday and it was insane!!!

Good luck to the both of you see you on the weekend...

[Neil]

Love ya work babes,,,It's all understandable,,,thanks again.

Ben,,,you better get out of bed really bloody early mate.

Sunday just got a bit longer,,,check this out,,,

I have been asked to let you know that NSWRRC has applied for and received approval to increase the number of cars permitted to run from 100 to 125. No registrant that did enter before last weekend will be denied a run.

Obviously the increased number of cars has been permitted because of the immense number of entries for the event as I had predicted in earlier emails. This will be the last competition ever held at Oran Park.

To accommodate the greater numbers there have been some changes to the day as follows: -

1. Instead of finishing at 4/4.30pm the day will finish at 7/7.30pm.

Everyone should get sufficient runs.

2. Scrutineering will start at 6.45am

3. A full apparel check will be done at scrutineering. So drivers should turn up at scrutineering in full race apparel (Suit, shoes and helmet) or at the very least they should all be in the car. I have been told by NSWRRC that if there is no apparel there will not be a pass a scrutineering.

Notwithstanding this, I would hope that everyone makes the scrutineers job as easy as possible by doing the right thing as we do need to make the day run as smooth as possible in view of the number of competitors who are running.

We are going to be dead on Monday,,,glad I'm the 1st group.

Neil.

I get up at 3.50am for work everyday, Sunday will be a sleep in
