Tasmanian Super Series - Round 4. 6th Sept


Recommended Posts

Hey Woolly.

i came out for a look today. i haven't been to a TSS round all year due to not running a crewing for our car this year.

i love the look of your car and the CR Kai's are porn. im very pleased to see some people finaly trying to make a jap car look like a jap car and not using rubbish bits on them.

The r33 gtst has to be one of the most under rated cars for circuit racing. I wish i liked them enough to want to own one because there is some really cheap ones around now but they all follow such a bland Wog spec look.

anyhow was you close to getting caught up in that crash today? any idea what happened.

Hey Damo

Was behind robbie when the crash happened, got it all on the in car camera. I dont think Greg new Robbie was coming through.

Ben, not sure what you mean by "how did my rear windscreen go today" or was that for damo?

Hey. Woolls, you beat me on the track, but I beat you in the points.....by 1!!!! That was courtesy of you Nunny and Finny going TOO fast LOL :P

Hopefully I will get my beast sorted before the next round. Got to take the gearbox out and find out why I cant get it into 4th and find out why I was running around with about 200kws instead of 222. I should of been lapping in the 62's at least not the 4's and 5's. :thumbsup: and even worse in the final.

Either the ECU has retarded the timming etc because there is a problem or when I fiddled with the boost control in the wet, ive inadvertently changed something.

I had plenty of grip with the new treads, but no mumbo!!

I'm not too worried about points. peter, leigh and myself had some great clean racing. (I was wrapped with a pb of 60.8 and taking the checkered flag) :banana:

ps, 62 still isn't going to be quick enough :D

So THAT"S how it happened. I got it too but I was a bit further back and couldnt see what started it.

I was watching some of your video's, it was good to watch myself in one of them :banana:

Well its turns out the points I worked out were wrong and so were the official ones too!! They didnt apply the 1min penaltys' :( I didnt beat you on the track or in the points LOL

And no, 62's wont be quick enough, I maybe possibly could have should of been into the 1's with the new tyres. 62.3 is my PB but since then its been a struggle with one thing or another.

That checkers must feel good, its something that has eluded me so far :(

P.S i sent you a message on youtube :)

will have it on disk next round for you.

well that paints a very clear picture of what happened. that was very untidy. i thought the RX7 cam out of it clean but it appears my eyes were not working as well as they should have been. fec that would have been scary for nunn having a rotor fly backwards into your way.

and that rotor could have ended up a lot worse the way it went through the traffic.

thanks wools.

PS wools you need a far better shift light arrangement. i sagest putting it up on top of the dash as thoes over revs will hurt you one day.

I guess im lucky I wasnt that close to the action! :):( You have to be careful on the opening lap into the hairpin or somthing like that will happen if your not paying attention.

wow guys, i just saw the clip. some core racing. You guys are so lucky to be competing. My turn will come very soon I have just commenced a build of a 26/30 in my newly aquireed R32gtr, I'm not skimping, but will upgrade even more once she is built and my sponsors confirm for the 2010 season. I recently came accross the cams website but when it came time to choose the license i didnt know which one to pick, plus im not affiliated with a club, is the LCCT the club everyone joins in the nw area? benifits are? There is one guy i have spoken with once or twice on here and power cruise when we both competed, the other Damo from L'ton, surely he'll give me an answer? lol, cheers Damo

Your car sounds like it should be a good thing. Targa A maybe?

You need to apply for a provisional circuit license if you want to run rounds of the super series.

I'd suggest joining the Hobart Sporting Car Club or the MG Car Club as both of these will get you a $20 discount on your entry fee each round.

Funny how what actually happened is so different to the story told back in the scrutineering bay... :)

Unfortunately the rotor didnt come off that easy, as it backed over the ripple strip it hit the sump pretty hard which caused a decent oil leak. That was the only reason he pulled out of the last race.

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
