BBGTR - Markov did a 1:42.05 according to the time sheets at the end of the day..

Big thanks to Ryan, Gareth and Jarrod for helping me diagnose the problem, makes life easy when you got blokes like you around!!!

Also big thanks to Mav for the accomodation, had a good laugh Sat night...

Al - I owe you a few drinks....

And sorry to all the other cars I broke aswell, it wasn't intentional!!!

New PB for me after new engine 1.49.18 - sorry Ferni - I think that is the extra 20kw I have on you.

20? and the rest ;) I would say i'll beat you next time, but i don't think i'll be able to catch you now... I'll just have to settle that i beat you into the 49's first even if only by a few hours :)

1.49.82 backed up with a 1.49.88 the following lap.

Respect to everyone who is going faster than that, dropping from 1.50's to 1.49's felt like i was going about 20% faster, but yet i was only really going about half a percent faster. No idea how you guys do 46's and 47's....

LOL - If it's any concillation - I don't know how you do a 1:49! :)

I ran a best of 1:54.70 on the last session, however I was hampered by a slow Celica through turn 1 and turn 2... I'm guessing it would have been a low 53 otherwise.

Can't wait to get out in December and give it another crack! ;)

I'll show you mine if you show me yours - I'm at 350kw, apparently you are at 330kw ;):)

I'll post a pic of tyres as well when I get home - there're knackered.

I wish I knew what my Sat times were - we will never know who was first :(

Now i know why so many people rate PI. It's an awesome track.

ditto. I don't know if i went any quicker, but the only time i got was from one session where I had the lap timer in the car and it showed 1:56.8. That lap felt quick but i know I'm not going hard enough through hayshed and into lukey heights so there's a little more there but sheeesh another 6 seconds?!!

I think i need another turbo ;)

HAD AN AWESOME WEEKEND! Panned out just the way i hoped: Sit back, suk piss and catch up with the crew.

Thanks to Mav, for providing the accommodation and to everyone else for their company.

Well Jack hopefully Ben sorts out the issue. Thanks for helping me with my suspension quires, i have already ordered and payed for the CUSCO components required :banana:.

Hopefully i'll be out there soon! Went past EAS and was surprised to find that most the engine bay had been re-assembled :thanks:

Head and clutch are back from the machinist, just waiting on the sump and manifold.

Made it back home last night. Washed some of the grass and dirt of the Slot Car. I got sucked in turning early on last corner onto the straight and sort of run out of black stuff and rear stepped out on me at high revs in fourth, so must have gone off at over 200ks and managed to keep her off the wall which was looking nasty at one point. Yes grass went flying over the car, so yes I really did cut their grass. Blocked the intakes a bit and water temps went to 123c. The in car vid should be good TOM????? Had a great weekend, you guys in Vic and Team Wang sure have it going on done there. Hope to turn it on a bit for you guys when you come up to the Sydney tracks and lets rev up the Sydney guys to lose their hand bag and have a go.

Some testing times for Jack but you made a day of it anyway and sure to be out there bigger and better. Well done to ferni and others who improved. Top bunch of blokes and also Bec, well done being the social director. Yes and Sam's time is awesome and he got my attention, I tracked him down and gave him a call and went and spent the afternoon in his shed out in middle of nowhere on the way home, and I learnt a lot from him. He has an immaculate prepared car and he confirmed some geometry suspension pivot point changes I was looking to do with Akerman and control arms angles or geometry etc.

I have to get the Slot Car sorted and ready for Circuit Battle this Thursday at Wakey.
