There are so many people on here running that this deserves it's own thread.

Round 2 was run today, and the SAU class was won by Duncan(LSX-438). Full results are here: http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/results....03/2010.ARDC.S1

Other entrants in SAU class from the very large 113 car field:

2 1 Duncan Forrest ARDC Nissan GTR 3800 4D 9 2 1:41.0871 0:10.6473

6 112 Stuart Inwood LDCC Nissan GTR R33 4366 SVD 18 11 1:43.0491 0:12.6093

12 41 Neil De Pau ARDC Radical 1298 5D 17 17 1:46.7807 0:16.3409

27 551 Mark Smith ARDC Nissan Silvia 1998T 4D 19 3 1:49.5123 0:19.0725

31 55 Brian Bugh NSWRRC Mazda R100 2616 4C 18 16 1:51.1492 0:20.7094

also special mention to these guys who *should* be on here: :P

46 310 Nicholas Larcos ARDC Nissan Skyline 2800 3C 19 7 1:53.9150 0:23.4752

67 114 Brock Heydon MINI CAR CLUB Nissan Skyline 1998T 2D 11 6 2:00.1461 0:29.7063

Brock probably thinks I am a wierd stalker for giving him the thumbs up at top ryde when I passed him on the way home.

speaking to Duncan he was very happy with how the car was running. Stu had missfire troubles and was not having much luck going faster (sounds to me like time for new tyres). Neil had a prick of a day with motor problems but at least all of the gears were in there this time unlike Oran Park. Looked like Brian was coming to terms with the new car and going OK

Sorry if I forgot anyone on here!

Was a good day at least there was no rain... Had a few dramas with the old R100 front brakes were not really working that well, rear brakes are coming in hotter than front. So need to find a better front brake pad. Also after driving the GTR around on the street getting it ready for super lap then jumping in my R100 on Sunday for the sprint really wish the Mazda had RB power. The R100 gets to 6500rpm in fifth gear on the straight and just sits there at least turn one was a quick lift and turn in and back on the power. LOL

Hope to make a few changes for the next round was a bit of pace all day...

Ha Ha,,,i walked out of the garage in the arvo just in time to see you doing a lovely pirouette Brian. It was worth an 8.5 in my book.

Big congrats has to go to Duncan,,,1st place is a job very well done indeed. :laugh:

Mr Handley,,, a big thank you for looking after my sadly sick car yesterday,,,not forgetting you ribbing the shit out of me all day as well. Your day will come tiger,,,at least I made you work more than usual. Yes it's off to the dyno next week.

The only positive I took away from yesterday was the fact that I had crap power which forced me to brake way later,,,throttle on way earlier and smooth out my driving style. Maybe it was a blessing in disguise.

11th was just rubbish,,,especially considering just how good the track was. The track condition was the best I have ever experienced there. Well done ARDC.

Looking at that list you posted Duncan and every other Nissan/Datsun entered,,,Imagine if we were all SAU NSW club members entered. We would be in the top 5. Sorry but I've been a loner for the club over the years and have jumped ship.

What a day, congrats to Duncan, Jason and co

Issue after issue, firstly tow car flat battery, forgot dorian first run, then misfire in R33 for 2 runs, had 2 red flag runs (one lap only) finally on the second red flag after confrontations with starter and control we got a re-run then split oil hose on catch can, then melted hose off catch can - then did water hose under the back of the head (its easy to fix, just pull starter motor out, brake master cylinder etc, etc)

So if you are having a crappy day like this there is nothing like topping it off with no grip - enjoy :laugh:

Great thread Duncan! Thanks for mentioning me. I didn't think anyone could match up my nickname to my car and all! (nismoman = S13 Silvia) Well done, good detective work. :no:

I had a ball as usual and the track was in awesome condition. I love turn 1 evey time. I somehow managed my best time of the day in the first session, and then tried to beat it every session there after without success. I thought the ARDC ran a good event, I ran 5 sessions which was excellent considering the amount of entries.

This NSW Supersprint series is very popular isn't it? They said at the briefing they have a record number of entries for the series; 140+? More volunteers and officials coming back to support the series as well. Can only be a good thing for grassroots motorsport in NSW and Australia for that matter.

Congrats to both Duncan and Stuart. You guys are damn quick.

Hi guys - bit quite here - so bring you up to date, as you might know, it took 2 weeks doing water hoses behind the head on R33, new belts and radiator hoses at same time. Took it for a run up the road and bugger me, busted top hose out of radiator tank. Got new radiator and bugger me, had a miss - two weeks later - new fuel pump, fuel lines, new ignitor, new spark plugs, following re-gap all good.

New brakes are great, just fitted the weirdest rear diffuser I have seen - hoping it works, also (look out Duncan) new carbon boot (doesnt fit real good) and wing (looks good)

New mower blade on front after EC (moment), if I can get the fuel tank back in the bloody thing will see you at Wakefield

So theres my goss, everybody else must be keeping it a secret (lol)

Good stuff Stuart.

No news here, driving the thing to work everyday so can't go too wild.

Thinking about a race seat though.

Will be good to see the car with no problems at Wakefield Stuart...

After some poor times at Eastern Creek with the Mazda have changed front brake pads to DS2500, changed front springs from 400 pounds to 450, made a new rear sway bar now 13mm only, was 19mm but had it disconnected. Will see how it feels at Wakefield hope it makes it easier to drive as its quite a handful at the moment.

Oh and will have the Hoosier slicks on to now there bedded in.

Neil did you end up sorting out your car on the Dyno yet?

Nice to hear some updates. Was keeping things to myself, but OK I can't resist.

Latest gossip for the S13:

I had side exhaust pipe made up and fitted to the Silvia. It starts from the end of the front pipe where the cat should start, then makes an angle towards the passenger side of car and exits before the rear wheel pointing downwards so I don't burn the side of my car. Looks fat and mean!

I reckon I saved about 10kg in weight and hopefully gained a handful of kilowatts. I know for sure it cetainly sounds heaps different!

SR20 sounds more like a tractor than ever before now!

Looking forward to Wakefield, it's been over a year since I last drove around it.

How much time do you generally get on the track at the Super Sprints? As far as I can tell it's one of the cheaper options to get onto Eastern Creek

With sprints you will get about four or five sessions (one out lap and three hot laps each). So you will get between 10 and 20 laps for the day. An easier way is to get your L2S CAMS license (if you havent already) and turn up to an ARDC practice day. About $100 for the day and you will get a lot more track time vs a sprint.
