In Car Circuit Videos

[hrd-hr30]

wasn't really a cut. I dropped a wheel off the inside of the kink due to a safety pump of the brakes. Its there in that video just before you passed me. As I said on the weekend I'll pay for the screen, but its really not my fault they used boulders big enough to dent car's bonnets as fill at the very edge of the track! And before the 'upgrade' there was a ripple strip there... You're not exactly squeaky clean in the corner cutting either...

[Marlin]

hahaha, I'm just shit stirring Harry

[hrd-hr30]

well it worked...

I think we shouldn't have complained about the drop offs at the edges of the track following the resurfacing. As ordinary as that was, it was prefferable to the situation we have now with numerous large rocks being thrown onto the circuit every lap in 2 or 3 places... And Tetly's worried about the puny little rocks from the pit surface getting on the track!

here's some in-car from Aaron's 390rwbhp Escort. Jeff posted this link in a couple of other forums. Aaron's an ex-IPRA circuit racer...http://www.youtube.com/user/trackattackau#p/u/3/u_YFaB9CbT4

[Marlin]

That Escort is wicked in a straight line, and lose as goodshit through the corners, pretty wild to follow it

(Harry, you musta missed my lol in the post re the windscreen )

So what we need is for people to stay on the track, instad of going gardening or playing in the sand pit

[Marlin]

No, I think bringing it up with John would be wise, but how do we do it?

Even someone making a small mistake can lead to them dragging three inch diameter rocks onto the track, and having them hitting your car when following at 200klm/h is not cool. Nor it the loss of grip if you run over one when fully committed going under the bridge.

I had my car painted and new windescreen installed three track days ago, and now the front needs a total repaint again, along with several dents removed and another new windscreen, and the new intercooler has suffered significant stone damge.

The addition of ripple strips would get rid of that problem.

there always was a ripple strip at the kink before the resurfacing.

I don't know what they were thinking using rocks as fill at the edge of the track! Almost every lap you'd come across large rocks on the left hander after carousell (they eventually put witches hats up there to try and stop people droping a wheel there) under the bridge and sometimes in the kink.

unrealistic to expect no one to ever drop a wheel at the apex of a corner on a race track! I certainly didn't do it intentionally, and I'm (reasonably) sure Ben didn't after getting past me

[Marlin]

Haha, no, I remember dropping one off under the bridge with you behind me and thinking I'd live to regret it! lol I find I DO drop one off occasionally if I miss the line a little bit there and turn in too early. In that case I need to drop one off or risk running wide on the exit, which you know, aint cool at that corner.

And yes Harry, every race track i know of has ripple strips on the insides of the corners! Lakeside should to.

Here was my laps from Phillip Island the other week, national super sprint

Bathurst Supersprint Dec 09 in R33

Bathurst Mountain Straight Hillclimb Dec 09 R33 Car 112

[Noddy]

Did you get the Timing equipment at the finish????? Looked pretty close there and must have been an awesome event. Bathurst hill is an event I want to have a crack at one day, Probably in 2011 though.

How is your seat mounted Stu? it moves around alot.

No didn't get the timing equipment - think it had about 2 thou clearance.

By all means give us a PM and will let you know when entries open for it next year - there is actually a round of the NSW Hillclimb C'ship in March - Mountain Straight and Esses hillclimb same weekend.

Entries fill very fast and preference is given to NSW registered competitors.

Seat looks worse than it feels, is on Sparco seat and base.

Nice video's Stuart, I wish I went this year but had other comittments.

Wow that was close on the hill climb at the end!!

3 years ago I saw an AC cobra replica spank the wall there

[Noddy]

this is a link I need to fix. It is a mates George Fury Replica Bluebird hitting a wall ath the top of the Noosa hillclimb. The impact was transferd throught the shell by the roll cage. End result is the shell is now totaly f*^#ed. lucky he has a spare shell or 2 and is in the process of reshelling it.

[phunky_monkey]

Thanks

Heres a couple of good and bad moments in brief from Phillip Island

[gtr jason]

Thats cause it is. Its a logged 3D sports sedan, its well and truely behond being registeered again.

It doesn't actually run much of an exhaust. It has dual side pipes from the turbo dumps straight out the side of the car.

sport sedans do 44s around the short track better go to improved production
