[Liz]

wouldn't have a clue

all i know is most of them were HSVs with big fat semi slicks on them... and mullets to match

Well I arrived at about 1pm, once again another half field of cars at Oran Park.

Liz was the only Skyline with a few HSV's, WRX STi's, Merc AMG, BMW M3, Ferrari etc. It was a well run event, just half the drivers I was expecting.

From the sessions I timed of you Liz they were all pretty much 58-61sec and very consistent (except for the laps with traffic). The session you did with the instructor he had you braking heaps better (harder) which was very noticable. I'd say with some decent rubber you'd be down into the 55-57's.

[Liz]

thanks ben.. yeah i was much happier driving along after the instructor made me get ontop of my braking!!!

[evil_weevil]

Liz,

speaking of brakes - what are you running now?

[Liz]

[evil_weevil]

Yeah me too, need some advice on how to best handle my beast, plus i wanna blat v8 boys!!

I dont - I just want to at least keep up with them!

[Duncan]

ahh its ok the v8s are beatable just need a bit of practice.

Liz....you need to bleed your brakes, easy and makes a big difference to consistency adn performance

[Liz]

yeah i just got a bit lazy that week.

to be honest though, I expected to notice a difference.. but not as much as I did.

I'll be changing brake fluid religiously between track days from now on!

I'll get these v8's, one day!

[OZ GTR35]

What were the fastest HSV's doing?

[Liz]

What were the fastest HSV's doing?

sorry paul, I have no idea.

It wasn't a timed event.

[benm]

They werent far behind Liz, at a guess they were doing 60-65sec.

A problem that 2 HSV's had (ute + monaro) were front brake pads (standard) were being destroyed by early afternoon. Coming into turn 1 they were just a shower of sparks out the front.
