Team Wang Racing Winton Report

[inark]

[INASNT]

nark isent ur cef a drifter not track car??

[inark]

cant see any reason it cant b used for both.

I am thinking the next session which will be good for newbies (or us founding members) for Team Wang Racing could be the PIARC weekend on August 21-22. Saturday is practice and Sunday is full sprint competition. $100 per day.

CAMS will be required. And tackling Phillip Island in August will require a damn big Wang as well.

[inark]

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo i should be able to attend this!

i will have to save for some stuff first tho...

-Joining NDSOC for CAMS

-Cross drilled R34 GTR front rotors (seem be best priced option)

-Brake pads

-Fire Extinguisher (SP?)

-Tyres

what else do u need? bonnet pins?

"Roll call" ... me puts up hand.

How miserable and wet is Phillip Island in August, it was bad enough in April when i was down there.... i think i will bring road rubber as well as comp Rs in case its wet.

Ill be a parrot and repeat myself, sticky rubber rocks and is great, but not having it is no reason not to come along, imagine if it rains and you have just spent $2000 on comp Rs that are no better then normal road rubber in the wet, but are harder to drive on....

rofl - awesome!

[ferni]

inark: you want to waste your semi comp rubber on daily driving?

[ferni]

HAHAHA love it funky!

[inark]

gramma funky... put a comma in between sports and track

other than that... HAHAHA nice one!

[inark]

good point ferni

i think i will just get some good street tyres and use them for both... if i get good enough i'll get some spare wheels and tyres.

Whats happening to this site? So much RICE

I've still got my stock 17's. Might look at some nice rubber for them hey!

[ferni]

inark: thats what i was thinking, but i can't see how any street rubber can compare to semi-slicks, CHEATER TYRES, i want some

adz: good idea, but i've heard you can drive as is, so thats not fair

[Ronin 09]

Snowman - going to do the HSV sprints at Sandown (8 August) or the WRX Club sprints at Sandown (15 August)?

[inark]

i want some too... but theres no point buying em if i cant even do a half decent lap on good street rubber

Kelly is going to kill you when she sees that

[Scotsman]

Go Team Wang !!

As we came into Wangaratta there was a sign on the side of the road with "Wang Races" As soon as I saw it and almost drove off the road in tears of laughter I was ready to whip out my wang for some racing!

Adz you would of had a ball... and your tyres seemed to grip the track at Deca pretty good compared to my 18" potenza's. So maybee just use those. Because everyone now knows that i'm broke!

Note: With some of the pricing I got the was no diff between an 18" and a 17" in a new semi comp. If anything it was only $10 per corner.

Hey Ni, cheater tyres are worth a couple of seconds a lap over street tyres, but practice and experience are worth 10 times as much. seriously. driving on the track is a skill you have to practice like anything else, no-one goes and sets new track records the first time they go out.

Chris: how did you go yesterday? what times did you end up with? your brakes ok?
