2014 Sau-Vic Motorsport Championship

[miniwog]

Not a bad day overall, only managed to beat my PB by 0.77 on the very last lap of the day. Seemed like the track was coming good towards the end as many of the best laps were that final session.

I'll be glad if I never hear another VTEC engine and no exhaust (seemed like it) at full song lol

Any other SAU attendees? Definitely missed the BBQ factor

[ssxRicho]

We where scattered all over the place anyway.

Still a good day, just lacked the social aspect a little.

Lots of fun had on track esp when they combine group E and F (why I have no idea).

I just missed the airborn Pirus over the turn 10 exit curve.

[matlowth]

Yeah - that last session was epic!

Really enjoyed following round the R33 (think the numberplates were JDM33), definitely quicker than me down the straights, but I was closing in under braking and probably about lineball around corners.

[FINER6]

Weather was good, even if a little hot. Word for the day is VtechYo

My tyres were shot, so nothing but stuffing around and taking my uncle for laps... Was about a second off my normal pace, so wasn't much point pushing for times...

The last two session playing around with Richo was fun, I didn't get the gopro out all day, was a shame, because I spent a few laps there pissing myself laughing at some of the antics in the afternoon

Yeah wasn't quite the same, nothing like a free feed to get people together hehe

No airborne! Was being stupid and then remembered you lot were coming up fast, looked in the mirrors and it all went to shit lol. Think a few of us cut the grass over the day

Yo, nah Justin & Troy aren't members. Will do my best to convince them to join up though! Haha.

My RaceChrono tells me I did a couple of 1:45.1's, but I just couldn't manage a 44... next time!

[billywhiz]

I've seen posts indicating Calder has been dropped while PIARC round brought in, any chance to get the front page updated to clarify current plan.

Might also want to clarify if prior PI/Winton were a select round

[ssxRicho]

I think the plan is to allow PI and Winton, Calder and PI are in. However each driver will drop 2 of their worst rounds of the championship and not the usual 1 round.

[billywhiz]

So both 26Jul PI & 30Aug Winton and going forwards, you are saying the last two rounds of the championship are in subsequent weekends?

20th Sept Calder

28th Sept PI

[ssxRicho]

They are a week between, that's the only issue I have.

[Odium]

Better than Saturday / Sunday

[miniwog]

Are you making this up as you go Richo hehe

Your plan and dropping 2 rounds sounds fine to me. But whatever the decision, just lock it in now and leave it be.

[ssxRicho]

That is what we discussed over pizza wasn't it?

Edit: You weren't at that meeting.....that would be why.

[Downforce]

lol @ the competitiveness... looks like mod rwd is still going strong Hope you are all coming back to play next year!

Yeah he wasn't there, he was 10mins away sitting on his couch.

But yeah - dropping 2 rounds... Maybe update the first post or something so it's clear for everyone

[miniwog]

Yeah he wasn't there, he was 10mins away sitting on his couch.

In my defence, it is a comfy couch.
