Sau Vic 2013 Motorsport Championship Round 6 - Sandown Sunday 11Th August

Yes, if you do get asked by the security guard at the gate, just mention there to see Alpha club day. Generally never even asked.

[blah_blah]

Just had a look at the grouping..

Seems as though all of SAU VIC in group 5

Fun at first but I'd rather not be in the same group as the really fast guys such as Aaron's R35 which does 1:20's

[billywhiz]

if you set off just behind him, he'll not catch you :-)

[miniwog]

Won't help starting at the rear, he'll be lapping my prius in no time. Asking for times seemed pretty pointless.

That said, overtaking won't be an issue if people are sensible as per any other day we've done.

I was hoping to fly past some alfas!

Cya tomorrow guys

[R33-RB26DETT]

this was a great day. Thanks to Neil and organisers. When is the next SAU Sandown day?

[gtr jet]

Very happy with day. What times did everyone run? 1:31.1 for me.

[emts]

what was weather like?

Most times seem to be on the highish side?

[billywhiz]

Would have thought the perfect day, cool sunshine?

[ssxRicho]

Was dry, sunny and windy.

Track temps were very cold though.

[blah_blah]

Good to be out on the track again

All my corner speeds were down compared to last year, so I need to work on that

But spose it was more of a test day for me, and the car came out ok.

I can see for the faster guys it may have been hard to get a hot lap in with so much traffic

Great weather today which was a plus

[acsplit]

Was a good day out,

I Know which club days i would attend in the future......

Tony how did you go in the last session after another 30 minute recovery?

I went 3 seconds fast than last time which is a bonus but still miles off "teens"

[acsplit]

Martin the reason for the slower times was none of the fast guys were out

Recovery didn't take too long actually

Session went ahead prob about 10mins after you left.

Also ended up being my fastest session i think, as there was less guys out on the track

[acsplit]

Good to hear!

Great weather for Melbourne!

[miniwog]

Struggled with traffic most of the day, apparently you need HP for Sandown hehe. That said, still managed to do a 1:35.0230 in my last session.

Richo you were right about the tyres, felt heaps better at 32 hot. Will try 30 next.

Speed or serious lack there of best shown with video of Aaron and the fridge carving me up at warp speed....

[R31Nismoid]

SAU-Vic should evaluate running with Alfa again for a c/ship round. Groupings were... poor. Can't get your monies worth if cars 20 sec/lap difference are all in the same groups!

Good day weather wise though and gotta love a Porka GT3

lol yeah... R35 GTR, + 340rwkw R31, + VE SS, + Stockish Cars + FT86... wut?

The gaps that appeared even during the warmup lap behind the safety car was humorous...

[acsplit]

Plus kit cars,

It was fun racing in the same group as quicker cars but we should have been grouped as per the nomination
