Superlap 2010 Ramblings

[zebra]

Apparantly someone used bad language at a petrol station and its been noted as a possible terrorist attack and travel advices now say to restrict all non essential travel to Australia So the Yanks are staying home

Sounds about right lol

[elrodeo666]

I'd like to see the Hi Octane 34 win the day but being a betting man Id be putting my money on the Tomei/Cusco WRX.

I've seen this thing in japan and it did win at Tsukuba last year and Tarzan has had plenty of driving outside of Jappa, so shouldnt get flustered by a goat track.

Will be an interesting couple of days.

Good luck to those competing and heres hoping this is the start of World Time attack tour !

No other yanks other than Sierra Sierra Evo.

Penlingtons ZED is out as well, as there was just not enough time to fit the VQ30.

I seriously doubt the other USA teams even got loaded on a boat. I would think they wouldv'e withdrawn from the competition before shipping the cars some weeks ago.

The superlap website doesn't mention anything about withdrawal of the teams, but if you check the entry list in Pro Class, there is only one USA car - i.e. Sierra Sierra Evo.

Perhaps Superlap organisers felt it would hurt their ticket sales or event turnout if they announced any withdrawals??

Having said that, I know in motorsport things don't always work out but would think overseas teams pulled out weeks ago.

I hope not, they can be sued for false advertising but who is going to do that when a two day ticket only cost $60? Bah that scion sounded like it was made up anyway and the nsx couldn't stand a chance.

But John's 300zx looked like it could play catch...its still going to be an awesome event.

[giant]

i was told the NSX lunched the donk

[SRS13]

I was at Unique two weeks ago and John mentioned then that the car probably would not be ready.

Its been advertised on the radio as Japan v America v Aussies... bit of a letdown that only 1 American car has made it.

[nismoman]

Still will be awesome regardless. I still can't wait to check out all the other hot cars!

[Huy]

Bugger. Disappointed that i won't see the NSX!

[badhairdave]

Make sure you pack your rain coats kids, friday/saturday aren't looking good

[NZM.031]

ahhhh yanks... who needs em anyway...

not good to hear bout the zed... was really looking forward to seeing it out there mixing it up.

hmm... rain eh? maybe i shouldve got some vip tickets..

[zebra]

A bit of rain might close the groups up which will be good to see, but the cars with hired drivers will have a rather large advantage over the average punter in the wet.

[Marlin]

If anyone wants to sling me a few bucks I'll gladly drive your car if it's wet.

I walked the infield when I was there a few weeks back and have worked out where heaps of time can be shaved.

I'm assuming having a navigator in the car is ok? I'll need someone to open the gate.

[fatz]

i have been laughing at johny for 4 months that he wont make it

lol

just like my r31 road car will be running next week

lol

to all drives look out for cans of wild the sphincter of the universe on turn two

ive got my throwing arm in good form!

[Sydneykid]

You've just set me a goal

Hey, I'll be stoked with a 49.....

[zebra]

Hey, I'll be stoked with a 49.....

Wow look who is back from the dead!!!

[Messiah]

Right... the suns out... only a few shower forecast.

Now no one was their car, if it rains it will be all your fault.
