Happylaps - Queensland Raceway - August 17Th


Recommended Posts

I was talking to some of the guys from QR shortly after the death at Lakeside a few months back. Insurance for happy laps is insane for them and getting worse, my guess is that this has to be done to keep their coverage. Inexperienced drivers, no safety gear, passengers etc. If I ran an insurance company I'd be demanding the earth in premiums.

There's always the if you're inexperienced you don't have go out and try and chase the big fish out on the track you spend the first few times learning the track and your car, also helps if people properly maintain their car and appropriate safety equipment like decent brakes or atleast not run rooted pads. I personally go over my car as much as I can a week or two leading to happy laps or any racing event/ cruise.

have paid all ready to go,hopefully they dont police the 110-120 km as talked about,the whole idea is to give your car abit of a wind out in a controlled enviroment,if the organisers get to strict on speed limits,then it will drive people away from these events,and more prone to do stupid things on public roads,which is not what anyone wants,just a thought. :woot::angry:

is this event going to be split up into a couple of groups as have had a look on the supra site and they have 28 coming along,that means at the moment there will be 45 skylines and supras on the track at the same time,talk about hectic,with that many will probably not get out of 2nd gear!!.maybe something to look into for next time,the supra club are a very enthusiastic bunch,haha,good on them,everone to there own.

Why am I giving said cactus a blowie? Shouldn't it be you giving said cactus a blowie?

Because I suspected you wouldn't want to do that, hence the chances of my putting an rb back into it was slim to none....

    • I'm pretty much healed up post surgery so I spent another almost full day out in the shed re-arranging everything to make room for all of the shit that I've taken off the car.  I need to get everything off the floor and away from the car for when I start making a massive mess stripping off the remaining body deadener and then for the the painting process.  Almost got the shed to a point now where I feel I can actually start working on the car again (clean shed clean mind or something!).  Almost 11 years of accumulated car parts, building supplies, tools, junk, etc have taken a long time to get in some sort of order again!  Most stuff is now boxed up and in the back shed if it's not car related.  Most people would still be horrified walking into my shed but it's significantly better than it was before!   For those that saw my separate post the other day, yeah I ordered one.... This version- I convinced myself to stop being a clown, wake up to yourself and realise it will take you 5 weeks to make one by which stage you're over working on the car again...  Maybe I am getting on top of my "mental ailments" and making smarter choices.... $1450 delivered which will take my miserable half-dutch arse a few days to get over having spent that much!  If I don't have a use for it straight away after my car is off it I might even see if there is a "rental market" for them.  See if anyone wants to hire it for a period of time.  $25 a week or something like that.  I'll worry about that when my car is actually ready to come off it though as that might be a while away!! There's now no excuses now for not ending up with an underside you could eat off! Away for kids sport the next few weekends so hopefully can get the rotisserie assembled ready to go for the car to go straight on it the next available weekend.    
    • I always use my Karcher, but it's only a little one that I picked up from Supercheap  The only issue I ever had with a pressure washer was when I was a kid cleaning coaches, they had a hi-po industrial sized petrol jobbie that would strip paint if you got to close I saying this, we have a fairly high power washer at work with a diesel powered heater that sprays water at about 60°c, it works great for removing old wax and road grime on the underbody after some foam cannon action, albeit from a "stand off" distance of a few feet
    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
