Neil

Then again it might be left field. Russ and Mark were spotted having a tour of the Radical Aust workshop at E/C. Russ was quite impressed.

This sounds very cool to me,,,thanks mate. Thoughts from the Handley household?. Neil.

Thats funny,,,Terry told me he was going to run the GTR and to wait and say nothing. So I waited and said nothing. When I read troy's post I thought oh okay it not ready and he's running the R31 as usual. We were always going,,,just to pop in and say hello to you,,,your old man and Terry of course. Now there's an added bonus. Do you have times when the Nissan's will be out playing? Neil.

Oh yea I forgot about her 4 weeks in Europe.

Ha Ha Lizzy had a bad hair day,,,But a great khana day. Fantastic driving babes!!!. Car controlling has it's up sides,,,the smiles on everybodies dials after a run did it for me. Neil.

I hate you Troy !!!. Where should we stay by the way? Neil.

I was just joking,,,massive chance of me going but only if the crazy P.I. people sort out there stupid bloody classes. As it stands at the moment I have no idea which class to enter. Why the hell the rules are not the same as the 1st nats I have no idea. Tons of you vic guy's run there,,,is this normal???. If any of you run supersprints,,,what class would a 1298cc motorcycle powered,,,closed wheeled,,,open top Radical sports car run in???. Neil.

Nah,,,I thought about it,,but I think PI is way to fast for me. Neil.

Hang on a minute, I wasn't the tyre changer. Nower days I would control it all. I was just the new boy holding the wheel bolts and that stupid plastic thing. Where's the footage of me ripping off the front bar after Duncan punched some poor hapless fool up the bum because they were too slow?. And where the footage of wanker longhurst almost running you over Kel?. Neil.

You beat me to it mate. + ME Powerplay have been bringing in these cars for years. Joanne knows her stuff. Don't just look at there website,,,ring her. She's a cool chicky. Tell her Neil with the Radical told you to ring. They have tons of contacts and while a stocker may be hard to find,,she might just have one of her ex-sale car customers interested in selling. Neil.

Well I hope everybody had a great day,,,seems Eric did. A VERY HUGE thanks has to go to everybody that put there hands up and ran the day. So in no particular order:- Adam & Paul for doing the BBQ. Ian & Sam for taking pics,,,hoping to see some great shots!!! Steve-o for all his tireless work all day. Steven & his girlfriend,,,Dave for there timing and calling. Charles and his Son(sorry mate I've forgotten your bloody name) for all your work up the end. Ando what can I say,,,your a legend mate. Duncan and Kel as usual you 2 step up without fail every time. Now I know very well I have missed someone,,,it happens at every event,,,so a massive thank YOU as well. Thats it for the moment,,,I need beer,,,but I have questions and thoughts,,,that can wait. Oh Please can we NOT have a "Texi wrap up Thread". They suck!!! Neil.

Well I got really lucky today and got this brace made and thanks to Australia's great health care system I didn't have to pay for it. I have an appointment tomorrow with a neurosurgeon,,,one days notice and got someones's cancelled booking. Lucky for me my doctor owns a BMW. Somehow I think I'll get pay back. Neil.

Well it was a good night sitting around talking crap,,,everybody laughing at my gammy hand,,,thanks everybody. We waited and waited for Steve to arrive with the much awaited track layout but alas he could not be with us. It didn't really matter in the end because we all had a good time and thats what matters. So after spending so much time getting there and only getting to see 2 tracks I thought I should post 1 of them,,,only because not everybody who was present got to see. So now everybody has a look. memorize it!!!. Neil.

Bloody hell boy's I didn't expect all the medical stuff. Thank you very very much indeed. I'm off to see my doctor again on Wednesday and to the hospital as they are going to make me a splint and as usual physio everyday.One of my problems is I'm over working every other muscle in my body to compensate which has made me sore as shit,,,tired,,,irratable,,,oh and grumpy. I think I'll print this out and take it with me. Oh I didn't mention I'm racing again in 4 weeks,,,someone better fix me fast!!!. Oran Park GP,,,will be the last time I run on it in anger. Thanks again for the info,,,I didn't expect it. Neil.

I have a current problem with my right hand be partly paralized ie very minimal movement of my fingers and wrist. The doctor said I must have slept on it and damaged the nerves. I should have told him I race a high-lateral-g race car. My physio chicky has other ideas after viewing my vids. So I thought maybe a hans devise will restrict my head movements as my necks is always sore after a full day going roundies and this is where the nerves travel from. My currect Bell Vortex Helmet doesn't have hans posts and here I'm thinking I'm going to get reamed hard up the tucker shoot,,,getting some pro to install them or worse having to buy a new helmet,,,I e-mailed Revolution Racegear and here's what I received in reply. hANSaNCHORiNSTALL.pdf Seems you can actually do it yourself!!!. Now I have no idea if this is legal,,,but I'll be doing it anyway. Just thought I would share this info with you all. Neil.

I have to disagree,,,I read this as a real advertisement and I think you should pay SAU to advertise your skills and know-how like everybody else. Neil.

Peter you may well be right. I stuffed around for like an hour working out how to get this Pole stuff sorted. Yelling at the bloody puter and monitor actually didn't help either. To the old farts out there in SAU land,,,I didn't add the talk-backs/AM stations only through frustration and the fact I thought I would be the only one. Neil.

I'm just wondering at this stage which radio stations you all listen to. We possibly might advertise on one of them but it would be great to know who listens to what. Please lets not post questions about the SnS in here,,,that can all happen later in another thread dedicated to it. Thanks for all your help,,,in advance. Neil.

Russ,,,check out this site,,,or have you already done so???. http://www.radicalsportscars.com/index.php and then go look here http://www.racecarsdirect.com/searchresult...rchtext=Radical You know you want one. Neil.

Troy,,,I've done a late 39 there,,,so a high 37 or a late 38 would be my limit. As usual it's all about money. I'm almost always on used tyres and this time with a shit motor. That said I don't really care,,,I had a ball. If early 40's are where I'm at then thats cool as well. Evil,,,I'll never ever get my head around why you guys are not doing the state rounds,,,remember I'll be doing the day/nighter. I was the quickest in the dark last time. Ben,,,I wish,,,I don't have auto blip,,,I only have no lift shift up through the box. Neil.

No you lunatics,,,no turbo kit,,,no way. I'm happy with what I've got. Neil.

Well what a fun and interesting day,,,It didn't start very well,,,but it ended up just fine. Lots of work to do,,,I have a list a mile long but we got through the day and we went quicker basically every session. I beleive the "Raceworx" hoodoo is now null and void. Massive THANKS to my pit crew who worked tirelessly all day. The 1st lady who as usual polished the whole car,,,cleaned my helmet ect and looked after me and our tummys all day. Kel and Duncan what can I say but a HGE thank you. I even got in trouble for trying to refuel the car and spilling it,,,Sorry Kel. Congrats have to go the GTR's,,,Mark,,,Stuart,,,Duncan and Marek,,,all in the top 10. Well done boys. If it wasn't for that pesky Radical SR8,,,Mark would been outright winner!!!. If you need to know what an SR8 is running,,,heres a quick little run down:- 1/ Basically two Suzuki hayabusa engines mated together to make a V8. 2/ Dry sumped of course. 3/ Paddle shift with auto blip down the gearbox and the same as me flat shift up the box. 4/ Basically F3 rubber,,,tyre warmed,,,thats sucks. 5/ Weight,,,if mine is 510 kilo's then it can't weigh more than 650. Oh what about the camera work,,,nice indeed. Looks like the new camera set-up works a treat. Neil.

What time should we get there Ando,,,I'm having trouble working out if a should walk of get a lift. Neil.

Did I just read BEER,,,?

I'd prefer if it happening to YOU. Neil.
