The tulips you'll learn to respect most are (well for me anyway) are the "ON C", ie, a grading and direction on a crest, where the middle of the corner is close to the peak of the crest. Thats where alot of slower guys tuck right into and hug the corner to be safe, only to drag gravel onto the fast line, all for you to come up and onto the crest with a bit on, to find lovely marbles there trying to wash out the car..... I'm always extra careful on those, rerally try to apex those ones late so you have a little extra room on the back side of the crest.

LOL @ Roy you tossa I don't know how to get the proper graphics used on here but I'll try. OK, /o is read over crest, it's normally adjacent to something like an /o into or R4/o, whatever. oo/ is read and I like read as striaght over crest, flat crest can be a little dangerous and misleading. Some guys say "flat over crest" but that can end in tears. Typically during recce we look at it, and if it's safe, then we say "flat over crest", and make a note on the notes like, FLAT, GO!!!, and the Nav will say again, "yes it's flat" if he has time. For instance on say, South Rianna stage, there's some long straits with blind crests, and they are indeed flat in 5th (with a little lift to settle the car for landing), but later in the stage there's oo/ then (then being about 100m) into L3, so you don't want to be flat. Thats the time the nav needs to be well aware and reading those notes together, and they should be underlined to ensure that they are. I hope thats not confusing, I have trouble explaining things without my hands! lolol Edit: And it doesn't reference the shape of the crest, ie, yump or jump, it's purely the direction of the road.

Benny, good to hear mate Did Russ get a hold of you?

Plenty of flex-aid going into the paint I hope Snowy? They bounce back good with flex-aid

Where's the wank factor in something like a 911 GT3, GT2, or even a Turbo? imo, all outstanding cars, and can cop a flogging all day, every day, without raising a sweat.

ok, I have a friend with an interstate trucking business, ranging from flat beds to a race car friendly B-Double that can load seven cars and all their support gear, including very low cars. The sooner you work out what you need sooner we can solidify it. I'd suggest contact Giant, he loves towing especially in his new 'Cruiser, but he may want to add two cars into the fold? Ad maybe Harry, Evo Cam too? I'll leave it to you guys

Indeed it does. I was shattered to hear this news on the stezza this morning, not good

Roy, I've seen the light, and I reckon you'd love it Next year I'm teaming up with a mate to do the Kart Enduro Championship for fat farkers over 85kg. Twin engined 4-stroke Karts, totalling around 13hp. Nine rounds, races between two and 24hrs duration, longer races requiring ring-in drivers to get the team to three or four strong. There's a Lake Macquarie round, I reckon you'd be keen for a skid.

lol.... Hey, if thats the judging, 'ole Fanta pants is a sure fire winner. Irish has spent the summer lapping the 'Ring in his modded 33GTR without touching a wall, so evidently, he's a panzy. Irish is back in Feb, so if Team Bigtime can have it sorted by then he's a starter

lol, Hollywood's already got the 33 earmarked for my Irish mate Could be a good tussle, Aussie Ginger versus Irish Tosser.

I have a good connection, how many cars you thinking? Mine's out as I'm F1-ing.

Hey Russ, put a muffler on that thing and lets get it sorted at Lakeside Mark looks like he was walking on glass in that vid

Yeah I don't see any problem with single plates for 32/33's for this type of competition, but the 34 is a pain.

Yep... not nice on a 34 GTR flywheel with that stupid vulcanised rubber centre. We had to have it welded up etc, great until it failed and smash the bellhousing to bits

Well done Mark

haha, must have! Either that or you're not the rapist I first thought you were? lol

Thanks Benji Down here? Antarctica?

Reading the latest CAMS mag I recall there was an article re disregarding the ruling on seat expiration and also lengthening harness expiration

I'm torn, don't know whether to get Hards or "R" compound, which is between meduim and hard. someone make the decision for me?

Unfortunately if it's on F1 weekend I'm definately out too.

Gearbox woes my butt! Busted 5th on one, that's just wierd, then I was sold a dud one which crapped strait away. Got a good fresh rebuilt one in it now .... me hopes lol Savman, peirce orf and go crash somethin will ya!
