  1. It's great practice for the track. Gear changes and throttle control play a big part in 1/4 mile and show massively in your ET. Transfer those skills across to a 2-4km circuit and you can see how much time can be gained/loss just in gear changes alone.
  2. I agree Nick you need to work on your 60's. Back in the day (before my flywheel turned to dust) I was doing 1.6's on worn out Nankangs with less power. You have a solid 0.25sec ET to gain just on improving your 60's.
  3. the weather the other week that caused all the blackouts, is predicted for tomorrow arvo. Provided that its a down wind, it may even help your ET
  4. don't bank on the weather, supposed to get very ugly in the afternoon.
  5. I was quite surprised at how well the "2 days for $65" worked at the v8's this weekend. Great value if you go for both days (as I did) but I didn't think many people would go on the Sunday for $65. To my surprise it was way more busy today than Saturday (took me 1.5hrs to get out of the carpark) so I guess it all worked out. You are right about WTAC having almost zero on track but lots of pits entertainment too. The Pro class really needs some changes to the format to get more cars out on track each session.
  6. not sure if it has been mentioned somewhere else but what is the expected release date of this dvd? 2-3 mths?
  7. A couple of pics that my friend took from T12....
  8. i'd throw all of them out and replace them with the Royal Purple womenz....
  9. im competitive and like numbers so install 'runkeeper' and use it to improve your walk/run/ride. Disclaimer: the furthest ive gotten is installing the app
  10. I agree that watching 3 cars do 3 laps in each pro session is annoying, Cut it down to 1 group and make it 5mins longer or open it up to 30 spots so that we can actually see some cars.
  11. looking at the (lack of) steering wheel work i'd say thats more so a well sorted chassis/suspension setup than just pure aero....
  12. Forget about what the weather is in the city or along the coast, totally fine day in the west with no rain and hardly any wind.
  13. I had my 2.5yo ute detailed yesterday, the best $180 i've ever spent. It now looks in better condition than the day I picked it up from Holden. Seriously, with the amount of money people on this forum spend on mods, take a months break and get it detailed instead.

    Good Tow Cars?

    Brilliant use of the trailer mud guards, im quite impressed!
  15. I'm a maybe,possibly, unsure.....until 5mins before I get home due to work.
  16. Or they could run in the class they entered in but just be excluded from the results.

    Go Pro

    I use MPEG_StreamClip to edit out what i don't need and to convert/compress to another format. However my video's compared to PezHeads are like night and day so use whatever he suggests

    Go Pro

    Get the double suction mount (way better stability) from here: http://www.camzilla.com.au/products/suction-mounts and get the GoPro accessory from here: http://www.camzilla.com.au/products/mount-accessories
  19. So do you know where you found the time up Mark? Straights, corners, braking, bigger balls in general?
  20. Good job mlr, didn't know this day was on otherwise I would have come out to cheer you on.
  21. Fatz doesn't need a competition to give those..
  22. Like Apple, GoPro have the bigger marketing department
  23. The video quality of all 1080p cameras is generally very similar, all of them have sh1t sound so you will need an external mic plug (Contour+ has this) as a high priority. The standard mounting hardware for the GoPro is average at best, too many arms and angles required to get it where you need it and if you only have 20sec to get it mounted (multiple cars in line at an event) it can be quite annoying. I'd suggest getting an aftermarket mount from camzilla I use the double suction mount with the swivel arm it does every angle imaginable from 1 point and is rock solid.
