2011 Clipsal 500

So, you might be able to snare a spare 'access all areas' pass for a beloved SAU Admin? :D

I take it from your sig that the RB27 makes significantly more power now, than the 298rwkw figure from 2007 - given you have run an 11.24 pass. VERY impressive time indeed!!!!! Is that 2wd or 4wd?

[Whiplash]

Andrew,

No pink GTR for you this year, pitty with the twilight races she usually puts on a nice lights show

[NutR33]

HAHA, i wish i could get spare passes, i couldnt even get one for my wife when she went to the Gold Coast round last year with me.

Thanks for the comments about my car, but it still only makes just under the 300rwkw to run the 11, its all about the tyres.

Cheers

Luke

Wow that is an amazing time for that power level - with a 1.61 60' you must really hook it up! I know what you mean it is all about tyres .... back in 2003 I did a 12.74 110mph in my S15 and it only made 200rwkw - but it would do consistent 1.6-1.8 sec 60' times with decent street tyres - and it was my work car that I drove there and drove home at full weight.

[NutR33]

That is one of the vids from the day,

Im the first car on there, with R33 with black bonnet and NUTR33 on the plates.

Hey Whiplash, what do you do with VodkaO, on one of the teams or an organiser?

i will be in a fadded orange Chanel7 shirt that looks 2 sizes to small for me working on the cameras, come and say hi if you like.

Cheers

Luke

[Nightcrawler]

Very nice launches there Luke! Damn I wish we had a drag strip still .... Heathcote is an 8 hour drive - very bad news if you break something on the track.

i'll be coming over and working in the pits for the fujitsu cup. hopefully will get some time to take some grid girl shots too

[Whiplash]

Had a few of the GT cars in Rundle Mall for the display this morning.

Aston Martin what a stunning car, never really had much to do with the DBRS9 before, craftsmanship is out of this world.

Looking forward to being trackside agai this year, but probably only Thursday and Friday. (In the usual spot if you want to drop past)

So you'll miss the fashion shows behind your seats on Saturday and Sunday 1st no Schutzenfest and now bailing on bikini parade.... you changed man

[Nightcrawler]

Wow long time no hear Guy - if you are after a ticket for either Saturday or Sunday on Pit Entry Gold, I am selling some tickets at $85 per day. Or I still have a 4 day pass for $185.

Good to catch up with you today Nick.

They have destroyed our usual shade tent, but the fashion parade catwalk is still there, and the XXXX girls trailer was backed up for a show today.

Back again tomorrow.

Hopefully I get to spend most of the day in the corporate section (again) enjoying the free food and drinks.

Gt twilight race was sick. Had a gt3 rs spin right in front of me. There was coolant/oil mid corner and cars were sliding abut. Good fun tho.

[Whiplash]

Found a Tarmac Rally car GTR yesterday,

took a few snaps and with the grid girls accompanying it.

Got a bit drunk last night so my camera is in some guys wine cellar in the city lol

[Whiplash]

1 hour race was great at night,

From the press release:

GTR I found sitting in front of the GT paddock

Our poor Lambo suffered a lower control arm failure during the race.

Andrew and I apparently stared on the Super Screen today

[Whiplash]

Was chillin with my "old mate" Murray Walker on the podium today, watching the GT race, got a few photo's with him, whilst holding a bottle of Vodka O

Vodka O porsche needs a heart transplant, don't think its normal for the oil to be 30% metal shavings :-(

[Matty 31]

I tried to find you this morning to no avail did pass murray in his golf cart though on the walk down to the GT pit area

Apparently andrew and pete tried to find me, but i musta been off escorting the guys in "yowie" suits around

amazing how far a green uniform gets you in the pit area
