Oran Park Gp Track Day Wrap Up Thread

[MBS206]

I was at the bridge and waved the yellow after you past by slowly!

You could hear the knocking quite clearly, I just thought damn, that ain't cool!

Aww, I feel special... All this flag waving from you and Chris...

I was very tempted to take it 4WD and cross country it, but didn't know what the infield would be like, so attempted to keep her off the racing line and out of everyone's way...

Half thought of pulling over, but that would have just ruined the session for people. Motor was already f**ked by that stage...

Had to drive it up onto the car trailer this morning anyway... Unfortunately leaving skylines over night doesn't make them self heal...

Ah well, it goes to the mechanic end of July... Then we'll work out what to do, but I'm thinking a cheap fix of another stock RB30 bottom end, and while that's getting murdered, having the other block fully built with a dry sump setup to prevent the age old oil surge from happening.

Was still a great day, and I can proudly walk away saying "I've driven Oran Park GP Circuit... And decimated a motor out there too" LOL

150KMs on that motor after run in... And who was the first person there to inspect how well I'd spun a bearing... Duncan...

Awesome day and glad to see everyone enjoyed themselves... apart from the list of incidents and engine failures... oh yeah and that debarcle of driver briefing... lets not waist an hour of track time again like that!!!! Perhaps a slightly different arrangement can be thought out for future events... ie.. Quick usual 15 min talk for all peeps, then newbies stay behind for the full version, whilst the experience guys go out to get their first sessions done. By the time (30-45 minutes) the briefing is done for newbies, its their turn to get out on the track.... just my 2c....

To those peeps that i jumped in with, WELL BLOODY DONE!!! Really impressed with each and everyone of you! George, Charles, Andy & Ian (think that was it) I hope my ear bashing and dodgy lines provided a bit of assitance to the day!

Stu mate that car of yours is absolutely brilliant!! Was fun chasing it in the failvia and watching you constantly fight the thing for traction... congrats on its first outing and making it thru in one piece! Testiment to driver and builder!!

Failvia held up well and gave me some good practise for our next Round of SSCC!!

Bring on the next one!!! Congrats to all that organised and helped out... the day was a great success!

Chris I was having a ball in the MX5 and I was a passenger so it's no wonder Ando was giggling in the driver's seat!!!

this day was such an awesome day and I can't wait for the next one (but sorry to those guys who have lost engines)

[BezerkR32]

Ah Ben, i love that mentality, but spare a thought for those of us that used more than 4 litres of fuel on the day lol.

i had thirty in the tank for session 1 and added 20 every session, did 4 1/2 sessions and have 10 left at $1.80 a litre. give me a week brus.
