Queensland Raceway - 18th June

[locutus_of_bris]

Quick thread - as indicated in another thread, I'm old . Not really but me and names just never works.

Who from the forum was at the track day on the 18th June(club track)?

I was in the silver 33 right at the far end of the covered parking with the abomination of wiring flapping around in the passenger footwell. That said it went really well other than one small software bug, so new ecu will finally allow the more serious mods to be planned.

Nice to have 3 other ricelines all in a row and at least one more further down. Also interesting to see the conversion on the 33 and how well it ran, most impressive.

For interest my best for the day was 1:06:14 running standard boost (another story in iteslf) and some new advans

Thanks anyways,

D

Bummer, Hello stranger, haven't seen you out at QR in ages. I have heard all about the tricky ECU business though. I will be out there again soon.......just waiting for the finishing touches on the GTR......

Nice time btw...... Good to see the silver beast is still going strong...... And no more trips to the gravel trap

[locutus_of_bris]

Thanks Glenn. Was nice meeting you guys and getting all inspired again to seriously do some work to my neglected car.

And Jlnewton, yeah it's been like 18 months since I have been out there, strangely the same amount of time I have been working 6 days a week. But with the new ecu the designer was pushing me to get out there for a tuning day so I guess that's all I needed. Was great to be back on the tarmac, and with the new tyres the gravel was never looking that close (not as close as last time anyway). Will be great to see this GTR of yours, and even more so chasing it around the track. Please send me a PM when your heaing out - it's not something I'm going to miss

Cheers,

D

which circuit are they running at the QR days now? the clubman? or ye olde sprint circuit?

[jlnewton]

woah, they are all coming out of the wood work now hehe

They have level 1 & 2 sprints on the sprint layout and this year have added sprint days on the clubman layout. It good variety. And if you are lucky enough to get time off mid week, the private track days are even better.....

[GTRgeoff]

This sounds the goods. I'll be self employed when I get there so midweek will be great. Hope to be meeting you all soon.

The more the better, we have struggled to get any good numbers of the QLD SAU people to come out to track days, its a little dissappointing. We need to establish a team trackday here in QLD too .

The privately run track days are the go, all day, plenty of track time, and usually run the sprint layout, clubman layount and the national circuit.

I think a Darlington park and a Morgan park day should be thought of too. And Lakeside if it ever gets through the red tape struggle. . . . .

[GTRgeoff]

:On bended knee: Please reopen Lakeside...Pleeease. Bloody councils.

The choice will be GTR33 or GTS25t with RB25DETT. I can't wait.

Hey 46n2, great to see around, not literally of course. Still having fun down south no doubt

Oh yes, please reopen lakeside - a good 2 minutes up the road, just a touch closer than QR. That said, QR is a bit kinder if you do head off the black stuff.

Why aren't you guys in the QLD Time attack challenge results?QLD Time Attack challenge results? Is that sprint circuit the same one that we used to run on in the olde days? is the sprint circuit the same as when I did my 1:07? weren't you guys all running 1:03's and 4's around the sprint circuit last i was there??? :confused:

Hey 46n2, great to see around, not literally of course. Still having fun down south no doubt

Hey dave good to hear that your back on track

We'll be in town for one night only (Sunday the 10th / Mon 11th) on the way back to the land of freeze (sub 2degrees C this morning :chairshot ). I think the stopover will give us a chance to "re-climatise" from our holiday in the sun.

PM me your mobile numbers (i've since lost most of the numebrs of friends from brissy :Oops: ) and we'll catch up for a beer if you guys are free

This sounds the goods. I'll be self employed when I get there so midweek will be great.

...and when i get back up there, I'll save up my sick days for just such occaasions
