WRX Club Rnd 5 - Sandown - June 12

[Snowman]

Nope - he was 0.1s slower than me.

The 1.08 was a 1.08.95 apparently. And the 1.04 never happened. The car had gearbox problems and of coarse as people do (see Brisby) they said "If the car was running I reckon we could have got a 1.04". (Yeah right!) It was an un-backed up boast thats all. The GTR was fastest and the Supra was second - less than 0.1s behind.

It is the full track. Last year the best time posted in this comp was a 1.13. I told Nige he should be aiming for a 1.10 before he left.

Well like i said then, its an awesome job to do that time around the full circuit. If the GTR is quicker again with its T88 then again that is a brilliant job.

A WRX time of 1:04 isnt impossible, but knowing the sort of mods the car would have had, id say its very unlikley. Hats off to the Supra and the GTR, they are brilliant times considering the problems and the amount of track time they had. Even with perfect prep and plenty of practice they are still brilliant times.

Anyone have secondhand tyres(17s) that even diametter all round for sale? I now have proper rims for the GTR but ran out of dosh for the rubber .

Mr Brisby if i can get rubber in time i'll go harvy with ya on that magic drum ( if Inasnt car is not in that is ).

Love to run on Sandown since its near my joint.

Can anyone tell me what a reasonable time would be to put on the application form for grouping. I will have a standard R33 with RE55's.

[Snowman]

I'd suggest somewhere between 1.30 - 1.35 depending on how confident you are feeling. But then I find it's better to be in a faster group than a slower group.

I'll drag the new car down there and race you troy with the fuse pulled on a couple laps to see what the gtst could have done with bigger turbos. Will that put me in rwd modified as well as 4wd? It sould be a good chance to learn how to slide a gtr around because after almost crashing it at over 140k on a turn after owning the car for 5 minutes I don't really trust it on the tighter corners going fast. The back goes out like the gtst but the front wheels pull you into the corner so you have to correct to oversteer as soon as the back starts to loose traction which I guess just means I can't be as lazy at driving. See you guys there.

LOL...im so pumped about this day. Its shaping up to the be the first track day since getting to Melbourne where the car will be sorted without a problem with tyres, brakes and tune all sorted:)

Thing is i want to throw on a new turbo but fear this will eman another few wasted track days until i get IT sorted...decisions - decisions:)

[Snowman]

Gareth - good to see you've learnt that driving a GTR quickly isn't as easy as some Hill Billy's like to think. We've seen your not afraid to punt a car hard and you already know Sandown so I'm real keen to see what you can do around there.

No need to pull the fuse either as Roy now has more than the required 3 RWD Mod entries to compete against.

[Roy]

Do I, lol..is the ICE Supra an SAU member:(

Roy if your car doesent get towed off during atleast 1 session then it just wouldnt be right!!!

[Snowman]

Yep - Nige is an SAU member. Member #053.

You also have Denham and Wayne anyways in RWD mod. So if Nige comes (btw - he has confirmed he is coming yesterday) that makes 4 cars in RWD mod at this stage to the best of my knowledge.

[Roy]

I reserve the right to ignore you as my sh1tbox is quicker then your "all flash and no dash" R33:)

[R32Big_boy]

Gotta miss this round, epa and police conspired against me by taking my money etc. I'll be down there to watch and maybe score a few laps in a GTR, Chris? Snowey? and your monster too troy.

Is this ur first time at sandown?

[Roy]

Did a 1:36, a 1:32 then a 1:30.06 then it rained.

3 hot laps, LOL on the first hot lap i went off at turn 1 and flat spotted the front left tyre which left me with a horrible vibration all day and a tendency to continue to lock that tyre:(

At the end of the day i was doing 1:31s in the drying conditions:)

[Snowman]

Just over 4s faster and a keg will be all yours then mate!
