Kumho Lap Battle Championship Round 3 - Date & Location Change

[AndyMac]

That would have been 1 big bad R34 and one mostly stock R33 (now upgraded but not attending). I wouldn't worry about the straight as long as you can hold the 1st corner

Turn 1... Easy as, I just have to load the EC map into the Evos computer and it'll figure it all out for me....

[gregor]

do you even need to be in the car? surely the evo will be faster without an extra 70+ kg?

If you guys have any nissan owning mates feel free to get them to enter. I can take sign ups on the day for anyone needing club membership and cams licenses.

[The Bogan]

Bloody Emo,s better keep out of the way of my RWD boat, the driver assist options might get all emotional and drop their show bags mid corner when the fat heavy RWDFTW boat is all over them.

LOL.

[The Bogan]

Question, will the tyre rule be used to divide the classes, ie if I run Dunlop direzzas ill be in street but if I run Khumo V700 I'll be in club ?

Regs just say no full slicks if I'm remembering right.

Thanks

1week to go, might have to clean the car.

Ok for the tyre rules - as far as the kumho lap battle goes yep the classes remain the same, so semis = club. I wouldnt worry too hard though unless you are at the top end of the points. If you've got semis go for it.

We've got an exemption from the no slicks rule for the existing open class guys already running on them.

Now we still need a few more Nissans. I can help you with getting an L2S on the day if you have a current club membership. I can sign you up to RENEW on the day as well if you need it or if you apply for SAU NSW early in the week I will validate your application with Eric. I'm really not trying to step on toes here with membership but I can't take SAU NSW club applications on the day.

[The Bogan]

Alignments done, I even vacuumed the carpet, now that serious, hope its dry.

[gregor]

I'm waiting on a couple of confirmations but I'll post up info on what time to arrive asap. Also there should be some official communication from the WRX guys soon.

For scoring the championship the following will apply:

If we have 3 timed sessions they are rd 1,2,3

If we have 4 then the 4th if not your slowest will replace your slowest from session 1, 2 or 3. For most people id imagine the 1st would be the slowest.

If we have 5 we will count them as s1+s2 = rd 1, s3+s4 = rd2, s5 = rd 3

If we have 6 we will count them as s1+s2 = rd 1, s3+s4 = rd2, s5+6 = rd 3

It's most likely we will get 4 timed sessions. Given the uncertainty I thought it better to put something in writing so it is clear before the day.

[The Bogan]

Sweet, I'll be happy if the oil problems have gone away and I get to do a few sessions, not to worried about times at this stage, well see how I feel after my first session though, I might get possessed by a speed demon, LOL.

[XKLABA]

sway bars and front strut brace are in, tune done last night, sub frame locking rings go in tonight then just have to bleed 4WD, A-LSD and brakes and the 34 is good to go, though vacuuming it sounds like a good idea.

Now lets hope none of the AWD guys are doing rain dances and it should be a good day

[benm]

mark i dont want to see any dropped oil because im coming out with my Contour+ & PerformanceBox timer for you to play with...

[dnissi]

i should probably bolt the turbo back on and get ready for this LOL

Only one person mentioned rain on the evo forums. I reminded him that AWD cars have more grip but my RX7 is worth around a quarter of the cost of most evos. Same goes for most of the RWD 32 & 33s. Who do you think should be more scared of rain?

Oh one other thing about the scoring for points - it will only be people with an existing connection to the event or SAU/RENEW that are in the point calculations. Should stop distortion of the figures.

[XKLABA]

I'm thinking more for lap times then bining, my car is similar money to a new emo or rex so bining it would not be ideal.

any ideas what track we are running on, "full track" or "north track"

[gregor]

ive been told many times now that it is the full track. I am really hoping thats right, either way we'll find out in 2 days time.

[dnissi]

wont be happy if its not the full circuit although would be good to be one of the first to experience the new track

have we got an updated entry list yet?

[The Bogan]

It was advertised as the full circuit.

And finally don't forget your helmet!
