S A U N S W Texikhana @ Sutton Rd Wrap Up Thread

[DaveO74]

I was thinking on the way home last night about another place I have been too in Sydney that is similar to this and it just came too me.

Has anybody been to the H.A.R.T driver training centre on Mona Vale Rd at st Ives??

It has a little track down the back similar to sutton (but without the jump) if Sutton ever becomes a non option maybe the nsw execs could sus out if st Ives is a viable option????

I'll post up a pic later

I ran the whole day with a Vac line off my BOV

I still raped the shiite out my car though and had a ball, need to raise the front end a little, doing 40 over that hump so I didn't scrape ruined times

my last run of the day, needed quite a bit of steering input as i hadn't been bothered to fix it after the jump...

Yeah "Oops" wasnt the word that came out of my mouth at the time...

Thanks to everyone for organising and running another awesome Texi!... I really hope we can do it again next year and the year after and so on, I love that track!

P.S. I'm glad to see that Federal's new FZ-201 R-spec tyres took out the top spot on the day!!... Thanks Duncan

Haha thanks Ian...you beat me to it!

what the F is with that Micra? Looks faster than the silver R33 with the dark bonnet.

It's turbo and it weighs nothing!

Bah ha ha ha ha ha.

For everyone who hasn't seen Tats team name, get on the natsoft site and check it out.

I think it's a great name.

Just.... wow. What a f**king unreal track. I can't believe this unloved corner of NSW has been hiding such a gem for so long. Thanks to the club members who organised the day but most of all thanks to the volunteers who sat around the circuit and helped to make it run as smoothly as possible - you guys are legends. Much better than the jerks at the start line who changed my team name on Natsoft.

7th in the overglorified cressida on proper street tyres - invest in semis i think next time, chase that pesky Cass coupe down....

P.S. anyone who doesn't come next time is a raging homo

hmm it says you got a 3second penalty on that run? In fact the final results on natsoft includes all the fastest times without penalties applied, so if one were to plough through every chicane and do a 1:15 they would be 1st on the results sheet. Who is gonna volunteer to work out the real final results?

However was significantly slower than the N/A micra that had 100 extra treadwear points on its tyres!

Yippie, that makes me 2nd. Still 5 1/2 seconds behind Duncan though.
