re the results that was for the last session.

Unfort a few of us had issues during the day so didn't make it to the end.

(mechanical issues not track based issues)

so add another 5-6 cars in there.

So a disclaimer for my commentary...

in my current seat I have around 1 cm clearance between my helmet and the roof.

SO small bumps become very big ones quickly for me.

(just ask my physio)

plus I was in a crap mood as My car started back firing.

anyhow after this one I have finally cracked the big one and the new seat will def be in for Nats.

Richo had i think 2 sessions of mine on his GoPro, so no doubt he'll upload that @ some point.

There were heaps of other cameras too so hopefully more footage should appear.

Here is one Martin has already done

WORK WARNNING FOR COMMENTARY

I did just lost the plot with a coughing, laughing fit watching the first 45 seconds....nice work Martin. I LOVE the commentary. I guess that was your first session

Russ, that seems to have a lot of pull for 245rwkws.

Dont tell me you have ImayhaveanRB25butitdoesntreallymakeanypowernotrulyitdoesntitsdown50rwkwsbecauseithasoldsparkplugs-itis :whistling:

Nah mate. It's making 285rwkw's now! Since before superlap :) It's nice power haha

is that right? only 5 people in street class and 7 in 'tuner' class? everyone wins a trophy day?

that's just the last session of the day

a few cars did not make it to the end, (eg me)

plus cars like the chasers evo had more than one driver but only one drove in the last session

that said yeah not the largest turn out.

They only did street & tuner outright, street & tuner 2wd and 4wd trophies in the end I believe.

Was really looking forward to my *by default* tuner GTR trophy haha

lol: "the two sweetest word in the English language... de...fault".

bummer, still you can tell people you won the GTR class at Australian Track Battle Time Attack. congratulations. :)

and yes well done to russ and newton too. still bit of a shame only half a dozen competitors in the 2 main classes.

I got the 4WD trophy for street class by default in the end LOL.

The bluebird in my category killed a motor, and the few EVOs that were meant to be street all rocked up on semi comps on the actual day and were moved class :/

still bit of a shame only half a dozen competitors in the 2 main classes.

I'm sure now that people have seen how much fun it is there will be a better turn out in the future. I reckon it would be just as fun to do the drift course. Maybe my drift car will be ready for the next one?

After seeing it up close over the whole weekend, i'll be there next year and so will Piggaz so there's 2 more GTR's to get in Ash's way.

Shame the grip guys got screwed with sessions, WAY too long between sessions vs the intervals for the drifters. Also the morning organization was just a joke, I hope someone got told off for that.

Russ, why bother with the drift car? It wont be straight after the weekend anyway haha. What carnage that drift session was.

I told you two monkeys you'd regret not entering!

The drifting carnage was awesome. Not many events with that level or carnage in Oz, made for really excellent viewing.

It was funny, usually you see the drifters with arms and legs out, doors open and other tomfoolery...

There was none of that shit this time :D

Drift car is allowed to hit walls :) Have you seen our build in build section. Femno started the topic.

Had a good day, was depressed in the morning for sure. With the timing issues we had 4 hot laps up to 2PM. The the poor bloke running the time attack side of things was coping it from all over, he did a good job to keep us all under control.

In the arvo they improved the format after some discussion with us, and many more laps were had.

lol at the cone they put out at the end....Russ noticed it, but I think he miss interpreted which side of the cone he should be going....

Fun day in the end, need more grip cars next time around. You're all a bunch of pansies for not entering. As the track is something you cannot get anywhere else.

- The transition onto the dome is too harsh, the grassed area needs to be surface and will be ok.

- The bump out the back is too large, need cut and smooth.

    • Oh and my rear arms may need some attention too.    
    • Bushings are almost done. Check the date stamp 😂 these are likely the original bushings with 27 years and 243ks on them.     Was too dark to get a pic of the worst one.
    • Porous blocks are a known issue on something like a Porsche M96, it's not really something I've ever heard of on an RB26. It's possible what people thought was a "porous block" was really a cracked block that they just didn't spot the crack on.
    • This is a controversial subject really, the whole power vs fun thing I mean And this is the main reason I got back into a MX5 Of the last few notable daily cars I've owned whilst I have frequented SAU R33 GTS-t: fun, but because I'm a idiot I modified well past a reliable fun car and ended up hating it, although that was my fault because I tried to have a daily cruiser and race car all in one, the family called it the sometimes car, because sometimes it was working, sometimes it was broken, gladly sold it NB MX5: brilliant car, thrashed the Bejebus out of it, but, again, was stupid and deleted the air con, power steering and stripped the interior out, whilst still fun, and reliable, and super cheap on consumables, it was not a fun place to be going on long cruises, I did love it, but basically every family member hated going anywhere in it, sadly sold it 2015 WRX STI: soulless thing that looked like your average Kia sedan and had that horrible boxer engine with glass ringlands, the family did like it though, that thing was one of my stupidest purchases and I still regret it 2017 Toyota 86: 😪 if I didn't crash it, I would probably still have it, it was a fun little thing, even with that horrible boxer engine, the family did like it, the only reason I didn't get another 86, or, BRZ was the boxer engine, I should have learnt after owning the STI, but I'm a idiot VX SS: great cruiser, fits the whole family, and was fast as.....in a straight line, but a big fat thing, so no enjoyment throwing it around corners, the family was unimpressed with the whole boganness of if, but they did admit it was a comfy place to sit on long cruises As for the NC, I feel it is perfect for what I want, or need out of of a car, whether I'm cruising the Hwy, back roads, twisties or peak hour traffic, the Mrs doesn't mind driving it either, or cruising in it as well, although she does bump her head of the roof nearly every time she gets in, which is farking hilarious, and the kids love taking it for a thrash as well So basically, I've had constantly more fun, and way less headache and heartache, both on the track and on the street, in low powered cars,  go figure.....LOL One thing though, the Mrs has stated that the cams have made the exhaust sound much louder, which they have, but it doesn't bother me, in fact, I actually like it, but, to negate any future comments from the Minister for War and Finances I may look at some changes to the rear muffler set-up to drop the volume down a tad to appease her when we are out and about in it
    • You will need to extend the turbo inlet pipe somehow, which could/might be done with silicone/rubber pipe, but might need steelwork, depending on your intake. And you will need to change the pipework on the outlet in teh same way, but this is more likely to need steelwork.
