Guest DIRTgarage

Well done Duncan and the boys from BSM, I heard there were a lot of accidents on the weekend!!

Did Jeff Fear from SSS race??

The DP's/DIRTgarage formula ford came a creditable 15th place in only its second outing...i think there were 26 starters. We nearly got taken out on saturday by the vodaphone entry, but some evasive action by Darin kept the weekend together.

Duncan also neglected to mention that Saturday night saw him come down with a nasty cold which has kept him home today!!! Not a bad drive Sunday for someone with a head full of snot!

Bad luck on the clash with the Voda drivers Paul- we've had a few run ins with two of those drivers in the past when they used to race a different class!

gee thanks for sharing the head full of snot info kel.

I just looked at the sheets again and saw that Walls RX-7 did a 1.12 in the race. no wonder he shot past us on the straight like we were standing still. d'oh.

1.12? fark.  I want slicks.  Production sports cars are cheaters :(

haha, that's what they say about your AWD. Even my mate Alan in the birght yellow 1974 911 is lapping quick enough to be second on the grid in improved open class, and he is running in class B prod sports!!

Anyway, enough of my useless comparisons. any word on your engine yet? are we looking at new hose or new plug?

Also, Spencer said if you need any brake fluid let me know as we have heaps now and he got it pretty cheap and will happily sell you some at cost. He went a bit nuts and bought 24 litres... It seems to handle the temp much better than the brembo race fluid we had and it's less than half the price. noice.

it looks like we wont be racing at wakefield as rob's not to keen. also not a good track to take such a nice car like the GT3 as it's often just one big carnage fest. I may come down with you guys though. I reckon you should be pretty competetive at wakefield.

Go Duncan, is this likely to be televised?

Unfortunately I don't think combined touring has paid it's TV coverage fees this season for this round so I don't think it will be.

Prod Sports will be though :rolleyes:

It's a shame that some of the combined teams I think weren't willing to pay or didn't pay on time, something like that. I'm sure duncan can elaborate. It's such a great category to watch too, i'm sure it would go down well on the telly.

Actually the TV coverage is an "interesting" deal.

We put in place an agreement with AVE to televise the year at a price. They then came back with a price 20% higher 4 weeks later and said take it or leave it.

We called their bluff and left it.

However each of the first 3 rounds various competitors including BSM came up with the money for coverage, I did not hear confirmation if this round was done.

It will also get coverage in Motorsport news next issue :cheers:

Richard I had a chat to Spencer, can you grab 2 bottles I'll give it a run at wakefield ;) Will give you a shout about logistics once I know the deal with the car...I have to decide whether to enter tomoz too :)

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
