Seeing as there were so many noob's on the track I was glad that Bec was tough on the behaviour. Sets a good precedence for their next track day :)

It's so nice to be able to drive home from the track, in the car you drove there in. And makes for a lot less paperwork :D

The R35 tried to be exciting going into turn 1 on the grass inside the HR31 ... Wakefield staff didn't seem to appreciate the excitement either, I thought it was most entertaining :D

I wasn’t planning on finding the grass at 210kph that is what happens when another driver does not see you going up the inside of them and moves over on you. Just got a bit sideways and went on the grass to avoid an accident. All was ok the other driver did apologise after that, they did not predict the R35 gains so much down the straight and didn’t think I would be there at that time. Did make for an exciting ride and entry into turn 2 trying to pull it up.

More photos of the day would be good to see....

I believe it happened twice to you, the other time it was me coming out, they said go and I did, I then got on the brakes hard as soon as I saw you coming.

I think it was a 35, I was kind of focused on staying as far left as I could and clutching my seat with my arse cheeks.

Artz, just think of all the little mementos that you'll get from under the car when you get under there!

At least the tow truck did some skids pulling you out ;)

I'm loving how fatz is in Class D, Race or heavily modified road cars in his massively worked 32 GTR. 3rd fastest time in Class B

Would have thought Dennis Resi GTR would have been a heavily modded road car, and fatz would be in the road car class dose not effect me at all just would make more sense from the results and make them look closer.

My boat maybe should have beed in "D" as well, my first run was in group 2 but I didnt have the pace (read:skill) to keep up with the fast guys so I jumped to group 3, still a fair few of the cars in "B" were "highly modified"

Maybe tyre classification would have been better in splitting the class ?

Call me "Capt Hindsight" or an Idiot, I answer to either !!!!

Is 380 kw and no cage heavily modified?

As the rules for the event were very lose I would say, "who knows when modified becomes heavily modified"

But going by the CAMS provisional rules and regs I would say yes for mine, they put me in Type SV.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
