Sir Lord Van Von Vader'ham Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 -2 is balmy. some ppl got air, but you have to really push it. most of the time its just the suspension droop, and most of the time your survival instincts kick in and make you slow down for it... how powerful is your car? you probably won’t get to 4th.

FJ 720 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 They used to do (still might, not sure) a quarterly event there on the skidpan, as far as I'm aware it was never the track though. yep as I posted earlier (I think) they are running a Motorkhana on the vehicle manouvering (sp?) area on the Sunday. Pretty sure there wont be any more spots for that, they had 10 left a week ago. I'll be doing both Oh and picked these up today, will be giving them a run on Saturday Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/395127-s-a-u-n-s-w-texi-the-original-sutton-road/page/10/#findComment-6357404 Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1GTR Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 A few questions after watching that video linked from page 1 for the 200th time: does that bloke get air over the crest at one point in the first half of the course? is the course going to be set up exactly like it is in the video? I'm keen to know if we are going to see enough straight road to get into 4th gear at serious speeds. Forecast for Saturday is looking good! -2 over night...shiver me timbers! No air but car gets light depending on your approach speed. It's up to you how fast or slow you approach it. No cones will not be exactly the same places as that video 4th won't happen on the straight unless you have mega power Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/395127-s-a-u-n-s-w-texi-the-original-sutton-road/page/10/#findComment-6357483 Share on other sites More sharing options...

N1GTR Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 Scott, don't worry so much! You'll live longer There is a slow lap at the start where everyone goes in single file at a slow pace so you will be familiar with the track. By mega power, I'm talking 420rwkw and upwards. I'd expect you to be in 2nd or 3rd for the whole run (of course with the exception of 1st at 7500rpm for the launch at the start) Also that crest is like any crest you see in hilly parts of Sydney, for example the big one in Greenwich. You're not encouraged to go flat out over it and by doing so your time will be slower anyway so stuff that. If it's really bothering you I'll take you to it in the morning before runs start and drive over it myself with you in the car to demonstrate it's perfectly harmless when common sense is used Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/395127-s-a-u-n-s-w-texi-the-original-sutton-road/page/10/#findComment-6357865 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any spaces left? and is there any extra cost to get the appropriate cams license on the day? Yes spaces left. Send the form and money today and you'll be fine. There is no extra cost for the CAMS license other than the actual cost of the license (eg it costs you no more to do it on the day, but the license cost still has to be paid) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/395127-s-a-u-n-s-w-texi-the-original-sutton-road/page/10/#findComment-6358397 Share on other sites More sharing options...
