MG Car CLub let you through scrutineering with bonnet vents? What class were you in?

They threw the book at me for that last year. As I drove into the pits in the morning, a scrutineer followed me to my pit and accosted me about the vents before I even got out of the car!

^^^^^^ That kinda shit makes me see red.

It's happened a few times now, and each time it has literally taken all my willpower to stop from ripping their head off and shitting down their neck.

Maybe I have issues, but I like to be made felt welcome when I pay to be at an event. If I'm outside the rules, then sure, come and talk to me, but don't yell and scream at me in front of a crowd.

Ok, lest see if this works...

This is what I make when I get way too drunk and cant sleep, some times. I wake up some time later and with hand in head, mutter those famous words, "Never Again"

Harry, I've had that bonnet on the car for....7 years. Never had 1 scrutiner question it.

Just got done with doing my first track day at Zandvoort, Holland. Good track, with an EPIC back section where you are 6th going over a blind crext into a mega fast 5th right hander roller coaster. This section of the track makes it the goods :worship:

I had booked an R300, which has 40hp more then the Superlight in the vid, better suspension and roll cage...but a guy binned it at Spa on Tuesday on me...and the spare R300 they brought on the trip from UK punctured its fuel tank at Spa :(

Had to buy a GoPro the day before the event and they dont like beign in open top cars. took a lot of effort to get the wind noise as low as in the vid (which is still pretty bad)

fuggin awesome, just went to visit zandvoort a couple of weeks ago with my mate during the week, just epic to see the undulation, mega jelly of you getting to drive it man!

sweet vid russ, car looks freakin fun to drive. nice steer job

Finally have some footage I feel like sharing. This was done at MDTC in Marulan, NSW. Tight little track but a whole lotta fun.

Before you say anything, I don't know why I started driving one handed later in the day. Was doing alright earlier. For some reason started holding on to the gear lever like a 3yr holds his... well you know. I guess I must have scared myself into regression :teehee:

Thanks for the tips on dashware - great little piece of software. Way better than RaceChrono2AVI for this kind of work. Data was collected using QStarz lap timer. Strange was 0.1 difference between the laptimer and Dashware.

im stoked we got you using dashware Eric. very easy to counter any sync issues too.

Perhaps you can build some GTR style gauges to use? :)

Hey Guys

This is my vid from my outing at Lakeside Park on tuesday. It was my first time on semi's and my second sprint at LS, and my first time breaking the 60 second barrier as well. Thought I'd post up here to get some pointers from the guru's as to where I could cut some further time out of my laps and any other hints you guys have to offer as well :)

Thanks Guys :)

good one Ian. Welcome to the sub 60 club! I like the look over at the wall after that warm-up oops! lol

these would be my tips:

1. Carousell - not wide enough in the middle of the corner to get a good exit which is important for the back 'straight'.

2. Turning in a bit too early for the bridge, which is why you end up wide right out at the edge of the road.

3. Hungry - use all the road. you're coming in far too tight. Should be over near the gaurd rail before you turn in.

4. Eastern Loop. Looks like you're coming in too hot and just washing out to no-man's land. Fast line is right the way round the inside.

5. might be turning in a bit too early on Shell corner too (onto the front straight), but that's not a massive problem with the widened front straight.

watch scooby36's vids for a masterclass in Lakeside's lines.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
