[Roy]

Oh and its now official, im not unlucky...my car is just a bucket of sh1t...for a while there i wasnt too sure, but i think the panel of judges have rendered a decision:(

[Downforce]

aww damn, sorry to hear man... seems like one problem after another with your car!!

[rs73]

r u gonna repair it?

[Al]

What a GREAT weekend, one of the best on record! The only down side was the unfortunate damage to Troy's car. The Victorian circuit Gods are cutting him no slack , or maybe his car is just home sick and refusing to co-operate. Was really disappointed to hear of you mishap, hope all will work out nest time.

On the other hand, my car (and myself) performed beyond my own expectations, for a offical track newbie. Personally i think these fun days are possibly more dangerous than the offical CAMS events. Don't get me wrong, i really had the time of my life, but you get some dlcks in the beaten up pieces of shlt, trying to prove a feeble point and going beyong the capabilites of their cars. Or you get some a55holes who have specially set track cars, treating it as the Bathurst, and cuting you off, pushing your car to the outside, etc. At times i just had too much to loose so i just slowed down and let them pass.

Most the time everything was cool, my tyres kept a great grib to the track, but i still managed to do more than a few 4 wheel power slides . The suspension preformed remarkably, but will be speaking to Centreline to see if i could dial out some of the understeer, not sure if i can because at times i was getting oversteer.

Meet a few more new faces today, sorry if i didn't socialise much , just too hectic trying to fit all things in. Hope to catch up again soon.

BIG thank-you to Bec and Chris for organising the cruise up and some "modern" accommodation. Thanks to all Wang members , who made the night b4 an unforgetable one and to Adz for cooking up a mean barbie

PS: Photos from both days would be great, so don't be shy and post 'em up .

And dont mean to be a tight a55, but in light of what happened today, i may have to hit you guys up for some coin for the booz i bought, all up it was $110-120...it looks to have been an expensive weekend:) i hoped that the booz covered my share of the BBQ?

The old Motor Inn went off on Saturday, ill post up some pics later...im amazed those old ladies didnt abuse me when i kept walking into their room instead of ours:alcoholic:

I reckon that it was a good day....heaps more cars than the last one......waiting 45 minutes for a run wasn't good and I agree with Al in that there were a few fools out on the track with something to prove

[Ronin 09]

oh no Troy what happened?!!?

story please...

[Ronin 09]

is that a volvo hassling the z?

[hellrazorette]

Geeez if you ever want to give me your car Adz.. niiiiiiiice.

Troy I think you & your car are just getting too old for the track Seems like it's not meant to be (joking)

So whats the tally on the damage? Need -another- engine??!

We were thinking of cruising up this morning... but since we didn't get home til 12 last night, there was no way we were going to be on the Hume at 7odd

Troy wheres the 'action' shots?

edit: Nevermind, there they are!

[hellrazorette]

Troy: Michael says "now a dodgy seal on your caliper is the least of your worries"

Lucky that Michaels car is sorted now, so he has his weekends free..

He also said something about 'a whole new meaning to the phrase - drive it like you stole it'..

Anyway glad the car didn't blow up/interior catch fire etc & you're alright.

[Roy]

oh no Troy what happened?!!?

story please...

Bloody terrorists:) I think i ran over a land mine:(

The bonnet lining either dropped down and touched the turbo, or it got so hot that it caught fire. So another freakish fark up has kicked me in the boss cags:)

But if you want to know what really happened...well at a certain speed there is so much friction / heat from the air that things can get red hot, sometimes even ignite...ever seen a space shuttle on re-entry, well same thing with my R32 down the straights:)

"Team Wang Racing - We bend em and burn em...."

LOL...no fear:)...perhaps it should be two balls and rocks in your head?

[hellrazorette]

let us know if you need anything troy.. (like a lift to the meeting on Tue)

After looking at that pic I think I may need to reconsider this 'swapping' cars thing

[Roy]

Yeeeaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! Suck piss and torch cars:thumbsup:

And the most important thing about a Team Wang weekend...

How YOU doin?

This is some good sh1t

Wangs happening night spot

Its important to stay hydrated the night before a day at the track

Devastatingly handsome chaps

By stumps some were feeling it more then others...check out the stubbie holder
