Snowman Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Hey ferni - was pipped by a guy in Open Class (O). Means a WRX in full race trim. Slicks etc. I can handle being beaten by that. The classes are for the WRX's in order of top to bottom. O = Open (Full race) SM = Super Modified (Like Tony in the Black STi) M = Modified (eg - Semi-comps, suspension) C = Clubman (Sti's) S = Standard (Stock WRX) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/59520-twilight-club-sprint-calder-park-feb-5th/page/13/#findComment-1197634 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ant97GTR Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Roy just check the lap times.....WOOHOO I broke 1:15 fastest times were: 1:14.7130 1:14.6790 1:14.7040 I'm pretty happy with that considering my crap street rubber and stocky suspn Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/59520-twilight-club-sprint-calder-park-feb-5th/page/13/#findComment-1197651 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Ant, Good stuff mate... Andrews car sure looked the good coming onto the straight, really jumped out of there:) Yeh Adz, on one lap i saw you hanging off the bridge with the camera, so next time around i gave it a bit of a squirt, not too much as A) didnt want to lose it, and B) didnt want to knock the lap times aroudn too much. Was a tops day/night...roll on the next one:) Hopefully Ben can weave some of his majic on the humble RB20, and ill get some straight line poke again...but i fear that there may be something wrong as the car is majorly down on power, yesterday a friend jumped in who owns a std R32 and his car had more poke then mine:( ... what else happened at Winton that im yet to discover? I suppose a compression test is a good a place to start:( Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/59520-twilight-club-sprint-calder-park-feb-5th/page/13/#findComment-1197666 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferni Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Andrew: ahh thats ok then .... Whats class 'A' ? And they also classed all the skylines as GTR's rather than gtsts etc... looks like most of the guys that beat me (besides you and frank) were in open or SM.... only a couple of M ....

Roy Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Roy, only 2 sec quicker than me mate. I managed a 1.17.716.... Yeh, but you couldnt have had near as much as fun as me in the last session where i was reving the ringer out of the old girl up the hill in 2nd and snatching 3rd as the car got light...bouncing it off curbs to get the thing sideways thru the s off and onto the straights...thats what track days are about...giving it a red hot prod:) Out of interest out of the let hander up the little hill what gear were most ppl in, and an approximation of revs would be good, i was coming out at about 6,000rpm in 2nd which is about 80-85km/h...?

ferni Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Troy: think i was top of 2nd, changing to 3rd up the top of the hill... around 110-120 Bec: whos video caught me spinning ? capture it and send it to me Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/59520-twilight-club-sprint-calder-park-feb-5th/page/13/#findComment-1197726 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 I was in 3rd there Roy - with some serious boost so nfi exactly what speeds but I'd guess somewhere between 5,000-6000rpm. I was in 4th before the fast chicane anyways. All I was doing over the hill was making sure the car was pointing in the right direction because turning became a bit difficult as I topped the crest!

Roy Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Yeh i think normally it may be a 3rd gear corner, based on the fact that i was on the rev limiter in 2nd up the hill/crest of hill...but in 3rd the thing didnt rev or accelerate...lol good thing i could bump up the rev limit when chasing Ant, otherwise he would have left me for dead up that hill with no boost in 3rd:) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/59520-twilight-club-sprint-calder-park-feb-5th/page/13/#findComment-1197739 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Yeah at 1st I was taking that S in 2nd and finding I was hitting the limmiter at the top of the hill. When I was doing that I had to change to 4th just after the fast chicane. Once I tried doing the S in 3rd - even though at first the car felt just off boost I was making more speed judging by the fact I had to hit 4th before the chicane.

Ant97GTR Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Troy....most of the time I was topping 3rd gear at or near the crest of the hill wacking her into 4th for the downhill run into the chicane :-) Felt great as the combined boost and dip in the hill really pushed you into the seat :-D As for the speed...nfi....too busy trying to keep her straight as I was getting some wicked wheelspin outta the corner onto the hill when boost hit in 3rd.

PurpleR32 Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 was a great event fellas. I think the twilight theme could really take off. My apologies for two reasons, one I had to leave early, and the other that I could not comete as i am waiting on work to be done to bring it up to racing spec. But you can definely put me down for all the events after PI. I dont think its a good track to start racing on, however having said that there is more dirt traps than concrete barriers I guess I will take a wait and see approach. Also I must apologise to ash. On friday I was giving him crap about not receiving my Lanard and SAU Vic sticker, and guess what pops into my mail box this morning!!!!! NICE WORK GUYS, now i have to get a sticker for ash Rosco Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/59520-twilight-club-sprint-calder-park-feb-5th/page/13/#findComment-1197950 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTRgeoff Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Sorry I missed both the event and spectating. Also I have had to be a bit quiet, had to reinstall XP and the connection number changed on me, preventing login. Was going quietly insane without my SAU Great to hear of so many having a good time, and commiserations on the the tragedy Roy told me of. Hate to hear it. I hope everyone who needed them got the bonnet straps and I'll catch up at the next club meeting.
