Awesome, my brakes are TOTALLY gone, full braking and my car just eases to a stop....that, is not good

But seriously, even though I got no food (was this spose to be in the price) it was well worth the $150 . Well done to the organisers, well done to the cars that beat 62 seconds

Topaz R32 GTR best time was 63.1 seconds B)

[Topaz]

Oh, yeah, whats the web site that has all our times on it?

[7yphon]

I had a blast cant wait for the next one.

Also it was tracksomething wasnt it?

My best time was 1.07 I came 22nd out of 24 cars but I think thats pritty dam good for a GTST

[kermit]

i broke the 62 second bracket but couldnt improve as brakes were gone ( maybe they are with my tyres which are also missing). the absolute best time i have ever had.. cant recommend enough!!!!!!

easily worth the money. topaz the food was there but you had to grab it. my wife told me this important piece of info just after the last hotdog was taken. wished i had grabbed some too.

Congratulations to all the organisers for the great effort and for making the tuition fun.

I hope this event takes off and becomes a regular occurance.

My brakes are fine combination of the Brembo brakes and slower velocity

The "compliance" Hankooks may not be be too good when I have a look

Would like to find the guys from six months ago on this forum (eastern staters)who told me that 35's were not a real Skyline and that they were slow slugs.

I'd like to shove a 63.3 ( I think) up there noses :lol:

Only hassle for me was towards the end I was finding places to better my time but kept getting baulked. Something I'm sure the organisers will address for the next event.

Nothing like standing in pit lane and watch/listen to those GTR's zoom by

Can I send my deposit for the next one Brett.

Heres the lap times

I know (at least) the WRX STi and XR6T times in 2nd and 3rd were done by instructors very late in the night.

So it was an R32 GTR One Two

I did better laps during the dark hours....plus I had no instructor for my last 2 runs out ; ). Number 8 and was 8th overall

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

And the Evo 9 too.

Went from running in the 1.08's to a 1.02

Thought about getting an instructor to drive mine but I'm a bad passenger

The TT Supra was an instructors time also just above yours, so you jump another spot

All in all was a great night, well organized, with great timing equipment (From the V8 Supercars) and is highly recomended to anyone considering it in future.

Myself well I had a great lose at the hairpin on my 2nd lap inspired by Kermits lose 1/2 a lap earlier , probably 100kmh sideways as we hit the sand! if you had a bucket and spade you could have made some great sandcastles with the sand from 'inside' my car.....Seriously!!

The off Seemed to Stuff up my HICAS however as the dash light is now on and Steering very heavy, only did few laps after that but still managed fastest time of the night a 1:01.1, my 'very first' lap of the night was a 1:02.2! I reckon if i'd stayed out longer I could've scraped in a high 59

BTW, The Glowing brake discs and 'Sparks' from my Brakes was a bit of a worry as they were coming thru both open windows but would've looked pretty good from the outside!

They also mentioned to us as a reference point that a HQ holden Lap record is a 1:02, and a 49hp Formula Vee a 57 I beleive which is sobering news, the short track especially is more about neatness and holding speed thru the corners than outright power

Anyone get any pics of the night, or links to....?

This is all I have....waiting for my instructor....dont think anyone wanted to ride with me after my errr 'Little' off

(Notice the electronic timer taped to everyones front bumper)

Heres some video footage of Kermits and my GTRs, very dodgy Quality footage, but the cars sound Great B)

BTW, thats your Mrs laughing in the background Kermit, she is very unsympathetic :lol:

[Topaz]

Hey nice, so if the STi, XR6T and Evo 9 were all instructors I got 5th overal; B)

Go Me!

I think though, the Supra TT was the owners lap time....

[7yphon]

Hey dude I saw one of the cars had a cam on the top can we see the footage from that?

[Topaz]

camera!. I thought it was the timing sensor

[kermit]

thats some cool footage mate . after that "unusual "line through the corner i kept braking too early which i felt cost me probably half a second a lap . so nice to hear my wife laughing as i spin off the track.

i knew i was in trouble going down the straight as soon as the instructor went " oh shit !" . then went in to a gracefull spin made even better when PSI GTS11 went off at the hairpin half a lap later.

not bad times though as i also thought that the STI and XR6 Turbo were being driven by the instructors which make me second fastest and i have never run a car at the track before.

instructor also ran my car for a few laps and i beat his time by 1 second.

i love my GTR . it took everything and smiled back at me although it was scary seeing how high the oil temp got after 4 laps.

i now need rear tyres and brake mods before the next track day.

kermit aka mark colborne

[RadiuM]
