Twilight Club Sprint @ Calder Park - Feb. 5th

[Roy]

...The only thing worth mentioning is that its a good idea to work out where the pit entry is as a few of you guys got caught out and missed it and proceeded very s l o w l y  around the track  

LOL...busted. But funny thing is, i knew where the pit exit was, and was headed down there. But a silver WRX was in front of me and he went past the exit...which got me thinking "oh, he's off to that place mentioned during the driver briefing to cool brakes...possibly at end of the main straight, as in the drags exit" How wrong i was

A general comment though, shouldnt really gloss over flags etc in driver briefing, and should not assume that ppl have been to the track before. If it had been spelt out in the driver briefing, it would most likely not have happened, plus a few first SAU guys had no idea about flags

I agree with that Roy and ill mention it to motorsport and the club president .

rs73: i think ylwgtr2 is best to answer that, but i'd say a rebuild of the gearbox is in order, or a new one

I think everyone was too worried to put thier hand up to have the flags explained.... as annoying as it may be to the more regular track goers, i think flags and more detail of exits etc.. should be gone over everytime... I've been to a few track days and even i forget what the flags mean

Was good fun, and well run, no time was wasted once we were on the track... pass on my thanks

There is nothing like the hospitality of a Maltese household:)

its not TRUE maltese hospitality until they make you pay for any meal or beverage that you may have consumed during the visit (jk AL )

This was the only flame shot I managed to capture on the Digital Still, but is out of focus.

I watched the video footage and I know that flamage turned out great.

[Snowman]

I look forwards to seeing the video.

Scott - maybe would your old man like to come to the next club meeting with his stuff from both this event and Calder??

I'm really keen to see what pics he has - especially from the night session. Even though that pic of Chris's is out of focus the night pics are so cool!

[Roy]

As long as i was one of the loudest cars going past the camera then im happy, that is if i was caught on film:)

[ferni]

how was that supra, had some HUGE arse turbo on it,it went out in the first practice session then i didn't see it again, was popping its head off.

[Roy]

LOL...i heard a car go down the straight with an external gate from the pits...;aughed to myself as it had a misfire much like i had at Phillip Island:( I know his pain. Hope he didnt kill anything

[Snowman]

That car came on a trailer and left on a trailer. I think it was expected.

[ferni]

it had the show, pitty about the go... but i was still wondering how it would stay on boost with a turbo that big....

[adznight]

OK ladies, here are some photo's. God this takes for ever!

Some things never change ey Roy?

Lots of slideways action here

[Bec]

Gotta say Ferni - Your car looks hot out there!!!

[Roy]

Its Frank right? Low white R33s look tuff:thumbsup:

mmm... a bit of body roll:confused: Might have to tighten upi those swaybars?!?!?!?

Good work on the photos, i suppose the drivers owe the trusty camera crew a few ales:)

Whose that guy whose hair is so fair he looks bald:(

[adznight]

Yeah that photo of you with that body roll is the last one before the straight, a lot of you had a fair bit of speed before that.

I'm still getting used to that camera so some shots and not so crisp but that'll come Enjoy!

[Snowman]

Good pics Adz!

There are some more to be found here - mostly of rexies but give a good impression of what it was like after dark.
