Sandown !

Good pics guys. Sorry I missed it.

Feel bad for the REX owners with their smashed up rides. Were they as a result of a multi-car crash or hitting walls?

What the hell has that 240z got under the hood?? Came 6th!

[Snowman]

It has an RB26DETT in a car that weighs about 400kg's less than a GTR.

As quick as some of the cars there were, including the white R32 GTR, Bens car is still registered and has an interior...that simple fact blows me away whenever i think about it. Has anyone ever got in his ear to put a complete cage in it and run some slicks?

Other then the WRX Club ad Maserati who runs days at Sandown. The Sandown day was the best so far because the cross section of cars. Its far more fun when there is a variety of cars, or just cars you havent seen before:)

[RPMZ]

That 1973 240Z has 283rwkw on Racepace dyno. It did 1:21 on 5 year old semi-comp tyres. Had some brakes issues on the day.

Niegel's Supra also did 1:21 and it was only his 2nd time at Sandown.

Snowflake ....... you are going too fast too quickly..........slow down

Can't believe how fast everyone is going these days. Was a good day out.

Haha... that's ludicrous!!!

Good sleeper too.

[inark]

damn there was some carnage.... guess thats motorsport

cracks me up how the top 10 of a WRX day and theres 2 WRXs in there

[Snowman]

I got beaten by 2 RWD cars! I was going slow! Man given a decent steerer the car is easily capable of a 1.20.

I mean Ponozza was only 0.3s behind me and he's running stock turb's, suspension and brakes. Him in my car would have beaten Frank I'm pretty sure.

My true skill's will be highlighted when Aaron finally gets his car sorted fully. I can currently only beat people by having spent more money than them. LOL

But right now Aaron and Chris are still behind me and thats all that matters. I'll have to retire once they get sorted or else learn to drive

[Roy]

I think your selling yourself short...me thinks you need to spend some money making sure everything is doing what its meant to be doing.

Not riding the bumps etc nicely, you mentioned you felt down on power at PI, do you still think the car has the grunt it had at Calder?

And what i was saying about big brakes being great, but keeping the tyres in contact with the road in order to be able to use them is what reduces the stopping distances etc etc. I reckon a couple of dollars on tweaking what you got and your car will be a lot quicker again....and the fact that you get the times at PI as well as places like Sandown, well im saying its more the car playing silly buggers then the driver.

Look at my times, im way off what i think the car is capable of at PI, but at Sandown i feel a lot more comfortable driving the car that little bit harder.

At the end of the day i wish i was doing low 1:22s :Pimp2:

[INASNT]

Snowy coming onto the main straight it looked and sounded like you were only coming onto power once u were past the pit entry, where as that ex gibon R32 looked like it was on full tilt straight out of the corner onto the straight.

Did anyone see what turbos he was running??

[Roy]

He was running a big single. His old car was the red one i was thinking of, he joked the white car is his EVO II as he has taken what he learnt with the 1st car and applied to it this one...lol thats why it basically looks the same:)

[INASNT]

What power was he making?

I heard him tell someone it is only making just over 300rwkw, which i find hard to believe.

[Roy]

Didnt ask, all i know is it was apparantly running pump gas. I wouldnt be surprised if it weighed in around the mid 1300kgs though. So say 320-330rwkws with good grip and low weight...yeh actually that power level still seems a bit low:)

LOL...I dont know, it was quick and it was an R32

[Racingline]

Awesome day all round!

Roy, I ask sam with the 32 and he said 1330kg, and low 300rwks.

Makes ya think that a quick 32 could be had for a fairly decent budget.

Here!

[Snowman]

Marcus - you need to get with the program.

Running with the Maserati Club is so 2004.

:talk2hand

but seriously, I'm an old man.

I'm a 'donkey on the edge' - I may get sell up the GTR, get fat, grow a beard, buy a Jag XJ6, paint a union jack on it (or BRG) and go old man racing with an overall clad pit crew

[Snowman]

I can see some merrit in what you say there mate. And I'm well on the way. I've already got fat and half grown the beard. But I see myself more as an Austin Martin man - maybe a Vantage - or even a TVR, then I can punt around slowly in the corners but then use the cars HP to make it near impossible to get past me on the straights. Especially at Winton.

Oh what fun it would be to not worry about anyone else on the track with me cause I have so much money that I can afford this twaty but expensive car.
