Fri 14&29th Oct Drive Day, At The Creek $120

[Beer Baron]

yep, it was a nice day. Neil I though i saw your car there, as i rocked up i saw/heard this little rotor powered Sports Sedan cruise along the pit apron (i was on the other side of the garages so only caught a glimpse). maybe your missus was out for a day of fun without you?? can you account for your cars whereabouts on friday?

my friends timed me for a few sessions but i wasn't really happy at all with the tyre grip or the brakes and the missfire was sh1tting me too. but i still was a second or 2 quicker than last time, which was a little bit pleasing considering how 'green' the track was and how much traffic we were driving through. certainly plenty of passing going on and i was very impressed with Aaron on his first day at the creek, good to see some experimentation with using different gears and braking points paying off.

i had a great day!!! thanks richard and paul for all the tips they really paid off! besides running out of brakes and distroying my tyres i was very happy with how my car held up.

very keen for another day but not to sure about a saturday though

damn that sucks yogi, what hapenned?

[yogi000]

basically had bad front tyres and tried to go alittle too hot into a corner and i plowed on straight into the tyre barrier.

Felt like a moron! but anyways

[Duncan]

damn that sucks normally Eastern Creek is pretty safe from a low speed off, I guess you visited the same place as roy, outside of turn 9 (hairpin coming down the hill?). Hope its easy enough to fix

[Neil]

Ouch yogi hope the cars okay. Bloody wet grass wouldn't have helped either.

Beer Baron,,,I wonder if Mel's been holding out on me and has a spare gearbox hiding in the dogs kennel.

N1GTR,,,cams has a turn around of 6 days on licencing so you will have in time.

Neil.

[yogi000]

i think it was corner 5.....if it was corner 9 i wouldnt feel some bad

[OZ GTR35]

Yogi came off between 4 & 5, it happened right in front of aaron and myself. He drifted out wide on the exit of 4 and attempted to re-gain the line into 5, keeped the power on a little long and over steered off the track into the tyre wall. Baddly worn tyres were the contributing factor I think.

Yogi, let usknow how the repairs go.

[Abo Bob]

That's my favourite corner. Hope the repairs are cheap and easy.

Dog box in the dog kennel perhaps? makes sense to me!

oh, on the grass note they have been tidying the track up for the A1 GP and have laid bits of astro turf on the outside of some of the turns which is nice. bit more room there for those 'OMG i'm running wide at the exit' moments. grips better than the concrete bits too i reckon.

[Duncan]

Ahh yeah I had a similar event there one day but was lucky enough not to keep it off the wall. That moment when the tyres get their grip back can be nasty

EC don't charge specs on track days buddy,,,not like that crap-hole oran park. You gotta love the ARDC. Make sure you pop into my garage and say hello. It won't be hard to find me,,,I'll be in the noisey rotor powered Capri.
