Great times Stuart!!

Did you find the new additions to the circuit they made over christmas improved your time's........or helped?

The only reason I say that, is that the circuit is a little different to when the V8's last raced there.....and your times do not relate to old tyres

And how fun are they to drive

What changes have they made to Wakefield?

[Bozman1]

They have extended the exit's on the outside of Turn's 2 and 5.

I thought these changes would make the track a little faster.

If you include kink at the end of main straight as 1, turn 2 was an issue as was coming on to main straight - so to be honest can't answer - left rear spring pre-load, had a mile of wind off.

Flat tyre feel, too busy looking at everything else and having too much fun, carried on (since sorted).

Over the top loop? - turn 4 - 5 the bumps gone - about time.

Had great runs - best ever down to fish-hook.

Top speed was down a bit, (to skyline) as I had to back off for kink, due to nipping front right tyre - now sorted, due to left rear pre-load issue (hopefully sorted)

When car was flat - carried good braking around 6000psi

Max rev's except 2 stuff ups, one at 8,200rpm and the others a secret - was around 7,200rpm average

After two weeks in the shed, no oil leaks, decent alignment - can't wait

Sorry Zeb and Evil

Car turned up in transporter was unloaded, Terry jumped in and did half a dozen laps - said he was happy - showed me the basics I did 5 laps, came in for a quick lookover went back out and forgot all - did not even cosider camera that we had in the road car ready until on the way home

I was having too much fun guys, but have fitted it for a test run at EC next week - to be sure to be sure - hopefully good coverage of QLD raceway 5th and 6th March

Hi Guys

This is all we got at Wakefield

[zebra]

Sounds the buisiness!

What speeds was it hitting before the kink?

So we are back on track now, with the AU - an official 1.00.9 in a supersprint on old tyres,.

Speed before the kink 18kms slower than the Skyline R33.

Sports Sedan Meeting 18th - 19th June at Eastern Creek - old girl will look like half a magpie (AU) - paint will still probably be wet but aiming for 1.36's straight up, with a few light suspension / setup changes

Looking forward to dry

Cheers
