Wakefield track day 05/04/04

[myr332]

Hey all !

Yesterday was the Rexnet forum's track day, which I tagged along to enjoy the beauty that is racing around Wakefield park. Great day all in all.. A couple of casualties:

A 180sx with an electrical fire under the dash

EVO6 with a siezed engine

1 blown turbo

Other than that a fairly good day.. Everybody had a great time and us Skylines showed the Rex's a thing or two about real racing with rear wheel drive.. A lot of good drifting and fast times. Hat off to Frankie's R34 GTT which proved to be the real monster of the track. Great sound from that exhaust!!!

Here are some pictures from the day... Most are of my R33 at stages.. Note the picture with a dirt cloud up the top of the screen, and my car around the bottom corner - caused by one very wide drift - oops

What times was Frankie doing? Nothing sounds better than Franks R34 GTT screaming past when you are sitting on the fence :headspin:

Next trackday is on the 16th + 17th

See you there

[franks]

hey giles! good to meet you down there, i didnt know you were on sau? i thought you were a work mate of damo's?

anyways, yeah top day, as per usual!!!

next trackday for the rexnet guys will be the 27th of august...carlo has a trackday on the 17th and there is something going on on the 16th too...i think a UAS day.

thanks to 2 people from sau! andrew (for the photos especially) and duncan for their unrequited love and support i even managed to get some private driving tuition from the master himself and i experienced, in my own car, some of duncan's driving talent!!! :headspin: with smoothness comes quicker laptimes!

benm, i think i dropped into the 12's, but thats hoping....

[Duncan]

I think Merli might have more tho

[franks]

nice work dunc, thanks for the pics! and your effort in uploading them

damn, do i have that much body roll!?!?!?!?!?!

[benm]

Work it baby work it !!

[Duncan]

Actually I reckon that car of urs is a very nice steer you've gotta expect a 1400kg car to roll a bit no matter how much spring or roll bar you have.

You were having a good drive out there too, its a shame there was so much traffic in some of the sessions, I didn't actually get a time on a lap where you weren't held up so I'm not sure what times....damn quick tho....

[Duncan]

Sorry Giles, I seem to have missed your car altogether in those photos :oops:

You should come along on the 16th and 17th, they will be 2 big days out

[franks]

yeah rightio. fat bastard the car is, even with my weight in the driver seat its rollin that much! hahaha what a bus!

surprisingly it only really got busy when the track was open to all categories in the afternoon? aside from that, i thought it was perfect? only 7 to 8 cars on for each session...

[Merli]

I didn't know you were on here either!

[2rismo]

So I guess you got the clutch fixed, Giles ??

Adrian

[myr332]

yeah of course I am on here - I'm a mate of damo's and the guys from rexnet, but do remember - I drive a skyline and have some good taste of forum's, hence why this is my main place to be

nah, clutch is still f***ked but I ran low boost on the day so not to stress it out too much.. what an awesome day...

merli - awesome pictures man... started off by saying that you didn't think they were great, but they turned out fantastic. i asked if you would do my wedding day, but i don't think my future bride would be happy with getting married in a drifting skyline down Wakefield's straight...

and franks - awesome car - i think you heard me say it about 17 thousand times; but the sound of it at full throttle.... wow! if i were a chick, i'd root ya..

definitely have some good idea's of things I would like to do with the car after seeing some work that the other boys in skylines have done to their to get the type of performance... unreal show boys!!!!

Giles..

[franks]

wow, what a compliment! but im not into chicks who dig my ride only

heres some movies from a mates incar video mount. sorry about the exposure but the camera was obviously setup abit incorrectly. i've ripped them to wmv9 so you should be able to set the video brightness and contrast down a little.

[Duncan]

that was pretty brave stuff, you guys did about 1/3 of a lap side by side....

[mist]

heheh go the Eric & Franky battle!

[franks]

heres the vid with me and the integra going side by side and damo filming from the rear...

[dacow]

what integra was that?

[franks]

dc2 typeR with a 2litre toda kit in it.

i believe he was doing 1:11.5's which is damn quick for an NA!

i had boost set to 0.7bar on the track though.

[dacow]

ahh I think I know the one.. was it jase's dc2?
