By the looks of the video footage I have seen, it was more of a powercruise cruise session rather than happylaps. Looked like quite a few were just trying to line people up to race them down the straights. Also saw people overtaking in corners and going 3 wide on the straights too, no way in hell will I be taking my car out on track with others being as stupid as that.

I was guilty of the power cruise line ups as I didn't realise this was a no no, but more to the point as my battery clamp shit itself was about all I could do for fun as if I cornered hard it would fall out. If this has pissed anyone off I'm truly sorry

Who would been keen for karting at Kingston in a couple of weeks time? I got a rally experience voucher from the boss for Christmas but am too tall to fit into the cars. However I am able to swap the rally voucher for karting ones at Kinston

Definitely keen for this :)

Lining people up is ok as long as you are sensible about it and don't hold up everyone else.

Geez you guys talk a lot of sh1t in here. Did you get home alright Brian.

Yeah got home alright thanks tony didn't get as bad as what it was engine is stripped down ATM lol do new coil packs this week and get covers painted:)

Ah ok, my mate begged and pleaded to come out on the track but in his hella hectic flush wanker celica that's as slow as my diahatsu it definitely would of held everyone up

The celica with the hella locked diff? Slow cars aren't a problem as long as they stick right out of the way on the straights.

Haha yep the silver celica with tons of camber. He owns that cammed up ls1 in a silvia... If he can behave himself ill invite him out for the next one :thumbsup:

When I'm at QR I drive fast. I don't pay $50 to cruise around at 60...I can do that in Toowoomba :) And when ya have 20 people driving fast there's bound to be overtaking and people a couple a breast at some stage. That's what we go to QR for....to let of some steam and have some fun.

There's nothing stupid about it.

Now harden the F up. Argh!

And for the record Chris, the most dangerous part of a happy laps session is the driving through tooowoomba part ;)

Pfft the dangerous part is having your battery fall out :P

As far as the laps were concerned I never felt endangered at any point, I braked long before the corners so I new I wasn't going to plough into people and i Kents the sideways action to a minimum and new where everyone was around me... Great fun :)

Yeh lol I still reckon you're lucky it didn't all come undone and need a tow back in :P

Yeh same here - like I said, it was the best happy laps ever! The last one I spun out at....and at the top gear sprints I pushed her too hard too, but this time round things were freaking awesome. Couple fast laps....couple normal ones....keen for the next 1

Last hap lap I did Martin shot past me at 175 whilst I was in my wagon.

Bit of common sense prevails on these things. I may bring the 31 out to one at some point but once the 32 is complete it won't be going anywhere near a racetrack. So there are two of us that feel that way.

Already in. Just as long as I'm not interstate or Nat gives birth early...

My bro and I would probably be up for it Chris....

Gents, I've been to Kingston - those carts are pretty decent and it's all outdoors...plus, you get to upgrade to their really fast carts (twin motor) if you run good enough times.

So much awesome.

BTW Chris, you missed out on a farkin very happy, happy laps :) It made me quite happy indeed lol...if you don't come to the next one you'll be dead to me. :)

It was a three thumbs up Happy Laps.

Come down next time and you can ride shot gun. Or steer, if I'm feeling generous.

As long at his 4wd dosent kick in he'll be fine lol

I hate it when that happens.... Or when you compression lock 2nd.

Pfft the dangerous part is having your battery fall out :P

BOOM! Self ownage!

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
