Track Battle - Calder Park Thunderdome!

[emts]

More video to process. So more to come.

Ah no S14 love!!!

John PM me your address and I'll get your SD card back out to you.

ordering my new gopro today.

USA trip delayed so will pick up a Conture when I head back.

S14 love and Red Bus action come in cut 2 along with more video.

Unfortunately the pit lane camera was only used after the initial sessions, so I have nothing of the S14 on that camera.

Hopefully next time that use both banks, the apron is nasty.

[ssxRicho]

That bank is much worse than the apron, thus the reason for using the apron.

There is the one one bump on the apron that make things very unpleasant. If that was fixed, it would be no worse that Winton or Sandown.

Things are already in motion for next years event ADGP facebook update

oops, didnt work

Australian Drifting Grand Prix BIG NEWS. Spoke with Bob Jane today about the event and he said that ADGP has given them a good enough reason to look at making the outside seating of the Thunderdome usable again. Lets hope it can become a reality for 2012!!! Will help solve the constraints we had with viewing. If you want to see thia happen click like and share this post.

Ye no using the other bank, it is 110% unsafe to be used, hence we are down on the apron area, which isnt actually "that" bad. Just requires a sensible use of right pedal

Good news RE: Venue improvements, very good

I took the inside line and it tried to rip the steering wheel out of my hands and my P/S pump was working so bloody hard that it was overflowing the resevoir. It was awesome

[paulR32gtr]

Good tip thanks Russ to keep left on the big bump there, was much less harsh than further to the inside.

That corner was barrels of fun with my soft suspension.

[R31Nismoid]

^ Ye I was holding nicely around that corner, the bump unsettled me a bit harder than you guys on semis who had the extra grip to turn in.

I ended up having to stab the brakes a little just before the bump, so when i got to the other side it was settled and turned in sweet

[MISS_R34]

LOL! Hmm I honestly dont remember anyone besides the dude next to me. Nathan I think his name was.

At least we actually had a view of the drift ey? haha.

Great view

[KURAUN]

Ended up with a 54.62

Only .75s behind the Tech Sport EVO X. Very happy with the result. Vids are being loaded as I'm typing. I'll link it up soon.

what sort of power was the techsport evo making?

[R31Nismoid]

It's a stroker with around 350awkw

plus it has nutbags behind the wheel

[Russman]

what sort of power was the techsport evo making?

Apparently 375 but Adam said it didn't feel like that at all. Probably around 320 is my guess.

[blah_blah]

Read this thread and just had a meeting with a prominent race event organiser and passed on what was said in this thread. He still seems to be in contact with Calder Park owner Bob Jane his son and associates. Probably turn into nothing but it guess it doesn't hurt to pass on constructive critisim from the public.

[R31Nismoid]

Well given Calder gave feedback a couple days ago, i think they were well aware of the issues already?

[blah_blah]

I'm aware of that but it doesn't hurt to pass on a message verbally in person, especially when the topic is brought up.

[R31Nismoid]

Oh I've just realised...

I dont have my esky!

Anyone happen to pick up a green one with a white lid?

I was 100% positive i put it on the back seat and currently it is not anywhere to be found

[paulR32gtr]

Yeah we noticed that! Helped ourselves to a nice cool drink. Either John or Russ grabbed it... think there was a fuel container there as well - was that yours?

[R31Nismoid]

haha nice - they were there for everyone anyway

Sounds like it's safe!

Fuel Jerry wasn't mine though. I actually had to go to the servo 3 times lol.
