Cams Supersprint Championship

[PSI Parts]

Couldn't find any threads pertaining to this, please direct me if there is.

Just interested to see if anyone is involved with this event in NSW? I should be at the next round and always happy to have a chat and share ideas about anything car setup related.

Hi Dale,,,there are a few SAUers who come out to play. I'm surprised no one has posted.

I'll be out running later in the year.

Cheers

Neil.

Just found out there is a few hiccups in the engine build and it won't be ready for Round 2

Oh well, should have a chance to go to an Off the Streets day and do some testing before Round 3. Hope to see you guys there.

ay do 1 or 2 rounds this year just for fun

Hi Dale,

There was a thread started by Duncan for last year's comp.

I competed 8 of 9 rounds last year and had a blast. It's a bloody shame Oran Park has closed. Now we only have 2 tracks to fang around.

However, I didn't hesitate to enter again this year, it's a good comp with plenty of fun sensible people involved.

Last round on 26/02/11 was a bit of a shocker and the hosting club had some delays in the morning which cut our sessions down to only 4 for the day. We usually get 5 sessions, but 4 is still ok.

I'm in the white S13 Silvia, come and say hi when you get a chance at one of the rounds.

Cheers

Mark

Well, well, well, I have come back from obscurity and entered round 2 of the championship at the Creek.

Don't expect too much on the first outing but hope to have a blast and catch up with some of the fellow drivers.

Hope to see on the 10th.

Twas a good day indeed but the rain shortened the prime track time!

I got 3 sessions in and set a new PB of 1:44.95 and 15th overall, 3rd in class.

First time I tried Kumho V710's and they were fantastic.

They are kind of a slick but have two grooves in them. I loved the extra grip and might even try not braking through turn 1 next time when I grow some bigger kahunies!!

Pics of the S13 in action attached.

I popped down to support a mate in his white evo. Looked like some good cars down there. Hopefully be able to race at the next event.

[evil_weevil]

[nismoman]

Thanks Chris, slowly chipping away at the times but still just want to go faster!

We've been missing you mate, come on out and say hi when you can.

Anyone coming for round 4 on 22nd May?

I need some competition close to my pace, all these hardcore plebs are way too quick for me..!

Hope to see some stockers out there..

Looks like you and I are the only ones that read this hey Mark!! Our own personal web forum, how good is that!!

Peace out..

Ran well, new PB so what more can you ask for? Only problem is that now I want to go faster...

151.10 is as good as it gets till next time...

[PJF]

I'll be there tomorrow, black R33 Gtst. Car 17. Probably the quietest car there.

Pete.

[evil_weevil]

some bloody quick times out there yesterday!!

wish I went

[grippy]

The R32 ran well yesterday with a new PB 149.89. Good to see a few Nissans show up and run well. We are pretty much out numbered heavily by other makes of cars but we are still mixing it with the best.

Good to see Nismoman PB with a 144.19 in the stock engined S13 and Wayne punch 1.51.53 in the very lightly modified S14 until the track slowed that put him into the 1.52's for the rest of the day. Zoran in his rocket ship 180sx was on track for faster times than 146.90 until he tragically flat spotted a tyre that ended his day. Even Peter in the stock as wet sock R33 was respectable with a 201.13 ripping into the cars around him.

Hope to see more Nissans in the future as wee need to knock out some of these "hair dresser's" cars that people with dubious sexual preferences drive.

Results of running wide at turn 1 are posted below. Victim was ok, Ford Fiesta not so ok. Support the cause for a tyre wall to be installed on the inside of Eastern Creek turn 1.

Peace out..!

hope your not referring to MX5's!

[nismoman]

^^ haha of course mx5's!! But anything that's not a Nissan! lol!

Seeing how this is "Skylines Australia" don't forget Marek in his R35 GTR and setting a new class record with a 1:38.62

Fastest Nissan on the day and 3rd outright is an excellent effort.

This competition continually gets the lap times to tumble at EC and Wakie. To give you an idea on how close the competition is, 2 seconds covers 17 cars, from the 1:46 to 1:48 bracket.

If you can lay down a 1:50 (which is a very respectable time) you would've placed 44th out of 97 competitors. It's getting expensive to keep up!!
