Everyone is busy preparing......

....their excuses to post here on Sunday.

Paul....interesting part of Luke's history to post. He has had lots of great performances, but holding the lap records for a very poorly attended production car series which only lasted 1 year is not really the highlight. Especially when we all know the trick to winning production car races is picking the fastest car in the first place. The BMW 130 was definately the car to squash those pesky mangas and pulsars.

Wow that was a shot across the bow Paul. Love the Marina bit, yes he is a fellow silor and smokes a pipe wears a cardy.

Where is GTR Jason's entry, or is it a late grand one???

I am going to Oran GP today for testing and bed in new tyres, I hope to try different springs with Sydneykid this afternoon.

all I see is hyundai this, and magna that.... :) lol, I remember when folks in that field used to just drive their road cars there to race. hardly a shock that searles team who were very professional and strongly supported beat their brains in. but credit where it's due, they went there to win and made sure it happend. :down:

Thats exactly what i was going to post. He is no doubt a good steerer, as he has been around for a while running many sorts of cars.

The only reason i remeber Luke is years ago in the 2L BMW touring car he started on the back of the grid because he missed qualifying because of shabbats or something???

The other thing which will be interesting is to see how he goes behind the wheel of a car with some grunt and weight:)

That may have been taken out of context...Duncan is a very active member in the sport here and i was surprised to not see an entry from him. We are all in the same boat (no pun intended John) at the end of the day and to see Dunc's fronting with only words on a forum is a bit of a shame. I am aware at the lack of respect he has for me and what we do...thats just something ive learned to live with.

Got a two car team fronting to give this a real shake in both classes next year...this year we will be just finding our feet.

Well, we all cant be blessed to afford days like this. I mean the entry was enough to make it even more difficult to enter, not to mention that track time wise running may be less then other track events.

But it will be good competition and a good event which is why i am feeling the loss for missing it. But that said, i like the idea of being able to afford laps at Silverstone, Brands Hatch etc later this year so :)

Yep sure will Luke has driven my car only around the streets but he is amazed on how hard it pulls. He has never driven a GTR with power before. So hopefully after the first seesion he should have worked the thing out. Be very interesting to see how he goes one thing for sure is that he knows oran park like the back of his hand. So i think ive done the right thing letting searly drive my car. Im a hopeless driver & would probably end up hitting the wall.

Personally the only reason i would let someone drive me car in place of me is if they were paying for the whole show and that way i could sit back and see how the car goes without having to pony up with the pennies. If i was payign entry, tyres, fuel etc there is no way you could get the keys out of my greedy little hands :) So hats off to anyone who is letting other ppl pilot their cars...

    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
