Roy Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Troy - I'd do it, but i'm to scared of your car, it just randomly spins for no reason! The reason is the tool behind the wheel was doing a whole number of things wrong. From driving a car with bad suspension too hard, too not paying more attention to overfilling the gearbox, not paying someone like Racepace to maintain the car... to well just driving like a tool. Thats what the carrot of a 1:22 at Sandown does to me. Imagine how much trouble i have when a shiela gets her kit off in front of me.... I'm way too exceitable Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/153125-2007-dutton-rally-series/page/5/#findComment-3142197 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 James isn't allowed to punt the Aston hard or else he'll get fired.... Still - there's worse things in the world than being paid to drive an Aston around for 3 days even if you can't drive it 10/10th. There is a new "Teams" competition this year and I think we'll have to form Team Racepace in Vic Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/153125-2007-dutton-rally-series/page/5/#findComment-3142289 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Can someone front me the 30k i need for brakes, engine and suspension. ?

Roy Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 With the new shocks in im hoping to be the first to get into the 1:21s in a std engined RWD car. After that im not sure im going to bother with the new motor. Easier to throw an RB20 at the car every 2-3 years.

phunky_monkey Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Very true mate, and that's how I originally was going to go but I began to worry about all these SR's and how old they were getting and thought it may not be as easy as that in the coming years, so I went the new engine route. A 1:21 will be awesome for a gts-t, let alone a standard engined one!

Snowman Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 Well after day 1 James Ward leads Class A for co-drivers and finds himself 4th outright on handicap points. Not bad for a hack. And as expected giants R32 GT-R is slaughtering the field in the main competition.

Jamezilla Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Wooh - trophy on merit! Trophy on merit! The Aston did a great job all weekend. Never missed a beat and looked and sounded great every day. I won Class A co-driver and came 4th co-driver outright handicap (I can handle being beaten by Russ, a GT2 and a Carrera RS). Great event - Eastern Creek Sunday was a standout - and as always, great people involved. Car is filthy and I'm knackered. Time to put a report together for the boss...

Snowman Posted May 27, 2007 Author Share Posted May 27, 2007 Congrats to Mark and Russ on another awesome performance. GT-R's finishing 1st and 3rd as well. Not bad for cars designed in the 80's. Although I still can't believe Mark got beaten at all the track events. That GT2 must have been awesome with a handy driver to boot. And well done to the Hack King James for winning his class in the Aston Martin. It seems this last 6 months of motorsport has turned you into a bit of a driver.
