Showdown 2005 - The Chat

[SmoothLine]

We will wait till the start of May. If there isnt enough numbers then we can just all head out to a normal turn up and race Sunday event...

Some poo different poo smell.

I think the writing is on the wall for this day. I will probably cancel the booking soon. I don't see us getting another 30 odd cars in the near future.

If you want to run this event at my other track day on Monday May 9, thats cool. We can integrate the day. I still have heaps of spots free for that one, I have to have all payments for the May 9 day by Monday 25, else it will be cancelled.

Damn shame....... I just can't commit to a mid-week event atm with the new contracts I have taken. Very dissappointing. . . .

Edit:- sorry to hijack thread, i would so be out there for the track day but my gearbox is not up to it and i dont see it being rebuilt anytime soon. otherwise id be out there lookin for a hsv gts to mop the track with repeatedly

You already have reasonable numbers for the day on the 9th of May. Why not combine the showdown with the 9th of May run. Seems to be a little difficult to get people to two runs in one month - so move the showdown forward.

The showdown cant be on a weekday, as too many people cant make it...

[predator]

too many people don't want to take a day's leave to enjoy themselves? some people.. priorities in life.. one day you'll wake up @ 50 and go "so what did i do for the last 50 years? " .. "well I worked"..

[GTRman1992]

Well we could use the lap times from the May 9 run (from those who can make it) as the base line for a challenge for the year.

How about after the May 9 run I start a Sticky thread that has the best lap time of the Skylines on each track at Queensland Raceway. We could then have an awards night near the end of the year. That way as long as everyone makes it to at least one track day they will be entered.

Excellent idea mate!!

[jlnewton]

That would be sweet, with different classes maybe GTR/GTST 30,31,32,34,34. And list the mods for those cars so people can see where they 'should' be spending their hard earns.

[GTRman1992]

Ok. I'll start the thread after May 9. I need everyone who can make it to get behind that day to get it off the ground. We will make it Round 1. (not real confident May 22 will go ahead)

With classes I have also found that track (slick & semi click) vers street tyres makes a big difference. We could have seperate classes or make it the Street Car challenge and only allow street tyres.

How about:

1. Outright Quickest GTR

2. Outright Quickest GTS

3. Quickest R34 GTR

4. Quickest R34 GTS

5. Quickest R33 GTR

6. Quickest R33 GTS

7. Quickest R32 GTR

8. Quickest R32 GTS

9. Quickest R31

10. Quickest R30

What do you guys think ?

Oh yea, it will also have to be an event I time with the electronic gear, as the normal sprints are timed by a guy clicking a mouse button as you go past. Not exacly accurate.

780hp at 3500 rpm?

you sir are full of shit. Ill believe it when i see it. Incidently sau qld is holding a dyno day on the 21st perhaps you should come along and prove your hp claims on a dyno infront of everyone.

Niz33 and I, are pretty sure we spoke to this tard last Sat night and springwood maccas. 800hp, I think not. 300hp-400hp, only due to the fact he was using happy gas spray.

What's even more funny, He openly said his car made "800hp"

Another funny comment was, "Nah not on SAU/Duno about it" Followed by "Whats your screen names"
