Hahaha. I think the only point where I made that much smoke the first run through the long wang. I saw the finish sign as I was doing about 80kph and didn't realize it was a flying finish, so I mashed the brakes and then the tires in the process.

Very cool photos though!

What a MASSIVE weekend it was.

Huge Thanks to all the volenteers and timers and everybody who helped out at all through the day, with out these ppl we would not be able to run these days.

Its always good to see new faces out there and of coarse the fimiliar ones too.

I thought the day ran really well after some early confussion.

Big appluse for Ryan bec and Crossy for there super human efforts as always.

On a personal side , weekend could have gone better having broken a driveshaft on testing on friday, then driving back to melb at like 6pm to fix the car , only to find the tailshaft was bend AGAIN!!! and that the gearbox is not happy either.

So we patched it up with what we had and loaded the car up again at about 11,30. and then drove all the way back to shep , hitting the sack about 3.30.

But hey .........thats racing

Thanks to all the photographers , expecially Big bird, you rock as always. will speak to you soon about buying some shots off you.

Looking forward to november ,

might put some decent rubber on and try to push the clock, NO promises tho.....

Cheers

Tim,

Jarrod, they're awesome. You even got heaps of my little carsy prior to stacking. I'm kinda sad looking at them. Oh well, can only make it look like that again :D

sorry to hear that you damaged it... where did you come off? I've had a few clenching moments at deca over the years but never hit anything

Long Wang bites again.

It was on the sweeper.

I don't mean to sound insensitive coz I know what it's like to smash a car on the track, but did anyone check if the pole was ok? If it was damaged I should contact Powercor coz they may want to inspect it.

I work for Powercor and they often find that poles fail after a car crash although this one wasn't big.

Probably not a problem, just asking.

were you running anti-clockwise? so the pole on the corner exit? clearly the cars fault, bloody fwd power understeer!

scariest deca moment for me was going over the hill on the mini wang backwards... too much throttle exiting the mini sweeper... fun times:)

Not cars fault, always driver's fault :(

Was only a small dink anyway, enough to spoil a day but nothing in terms of motorsport damage :)

I think that's what caught alot of people off guard Nick - the sharp turn straight after the hill on mini wang. Too much speed and you ended up snap oversteering or slamming on the brakes and going straight into the cones :P

    • H1 is not the Humvee, but is the most road based version. Lachlan (HankScorpio) on here has a proper Humvee. He imported it a few years back.
    • Welcome Thomas! Sounds like you've made some progress. Are you able to drive it and enjoy it a bit now ? 
    • HUMVEE are fine in big open areas, but they are problematic on the street and tight areas As for reliability, some of the  US Army guys I have chatted with have said that when they were working they were fine, but, the do spend alot of time in workshops for multiple reasons, admittedly, they did get a hard time by the boys and girls who drove them I would definitely put them in the "buyer beware" category  They do look tough as nails though 
    • Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.
    • I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.
