Woo on 2nd trails Newmans by 10 seconds after stupid 9 stages of dinky dye motorkhana crap today. Sunday will bring the mountain, the Skelta looms large behind!

They have motokhana stages?? I need to do this rally one day!

I always thought Lake Mountain could have been an epic Rally if they put a motokhana style challenge in the carpark at the top.

It's the one thing I really miss about Dutton event is whacking the handbrake everywhere! :)

Well, it wasn't really a motorkhana as such, not tight enough to require the handbrake.

It was a 1.1klm loop using part of the V8 Supercar track.

Would have been an excellent Prologue and sponsor ride course, but hmmm, to travel 1,200klm for one day of it? Not so sure.

A perfect world would have seen friday arvo/night passenger and Prologue there, and up to Mt Stuart for Saturday/Sunday

Mt Stuart is an awesome challenging piece of tarmac. :)

that was fun to watch team Woo.

the key to that video for me was the commitment. at one point you are accelerating upto and over a crest that is then followed by a 8 right into 8 left. from the incar you cant see where the road is going over the crest but if you was reading the road (bad thing to do) you could see it was going to go left. its that commitment to keep accelerating where the average punter would go screw what the idiot to my left is saying im gona lift off that wins plastic.

Also did anyone elce notice the clutch kinking, sideways action, wheels in dirt action that was closely followed by a crowd of people or fluro vested photographer? :blink:

Thanks guys.

And yes, big congrsats to Russ and Sarah, I'm very very proud of them both. It really was the perfect outcome, couldn't have asked for anything better to be honest.

Well, actually, it would have been a lot better if Coop didn't spin it and bang up the GTR again.

Our 4:09 run, quite different from Russ's 4:09 run :P;

Huge well done to Timmy, Russ and Sarah, Coop, Wade, Gary, Peter, we had lotsa fun, and it wouldn't be the same without the fantastic NQ hospitality :D

Nice one mate. How much time did you shave off from your first run to your fastest one out of interest?

First run, Russ/Sarah, Woo/Me and Coop/Wade all did 4:20's thinking there wouldn't be much more in it, maybe a second or two would be fast.

Second run up the hill Russ/Sarah did a 4:11, Woo/Me did 4:10 and Coop/Wade did 4:16.

3rd run was fastest with Newmans and Team Wooster doing 4:09's

Yes, interesting question Snowy.

I was interested too to see the difference. First run we attacked as we would any other tarmac rally stage that we would see once, and we did a 4:20. So that's a little over a second a kay slower. On subsequent runs, we still drove purely on the notes, I wasn't trying to remember it, but of course you kind of do anyhow, plus you're 100% confident with the notes after a pass over them.

The 4:09 run was our 3rd pass.. Other runs were consistant 11's and 12's.

One thing that came out of the weekend was our writing of notes, we only had two passes over the course, wrote the notes, and they were spot on. We gave a copy to Russ and Sarah and they proved the notes were quick. They had different notes last year and mangaed a 4:12 in the time machine R35. Very happy with that :P

You tempted to write your own notes for targa now?

Thanks Harry!

Nothing wrong with John's notes at all in my eyes mate (in fact they're superb), but if time and money were plentiful, then yes, writing our own notes would be awesome. That will have to wait until Tim and I secure a factory drive which would allow for a few weeks writing and checking notes.

I know damn well if I was a Tassie local I'd write my own. :thumbsup:

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
