Alot of thrills and spills today ...

A car had an engine failure and spilled some fluids down at the start of turn one ...

For that two of the GT40's ended up in the kitty litter and a Ferrari joined them on the beach ...

The XR Falcon that went through wasn't so lucky and ended up with a well massaged front end ohnoes.gif

In other news ...

Hipowers CRX is now in the 58's smile.gif

In other-other news ...

Garlic Rx7 is still as graceful as ever with his spins laugh.gif tongue.gif

yeah saw the XR6 on my way out....hmmmm thats got to suck.

Ive got exactly the same XR6 (but a wagon, my old car) sitting out the back of my house, maybe if the guy needs a new one hit me up, I might sell it lol

seriously how do you spin on that track, its not that hard....and woot my best time (first ever track work for my spyder/myself) was 71secs, i think i need to go harder next time lol (and buy some slicks).

awww come on, give me some slack, it was only 1 spin... I thought I did pretty good, 67s, less than a second off my best time. I say this is good because my turbo was only providing a restriction on the exhaust... was getting no boost anywhere.

(yea yea yea, I know the saying, a poor tradesman blames his tools... the wastegate really wasn't closing though..)

Congrats to the HiPower CRX, 58s are awesome times. is anyone racing at topgear tomorrow?

Come to think of it, I saw your ride at the Stapleton BP today before I ventured off to the Casino.


How did Mike, the black S2000 go?

Greg one of the GT40's dropped a shitload of something right on the end of the front straight and basically every other car that went trough there drove through it and went off

It was a fairly good day, I managed to get abit of general practice beforehand and Ran a PB of 1:27 on the national circuit and jumped in Dads porsche to run a 1:24. Then I just ran 62's on the sprints, which was decent considering the tyres i was using! some hand me down 205/50/16 dunlop semis lol! Hence alot of drifting during the day biggrin.gif Next one should be great! We all know that CRX driver can do amazing things, and obviously a well setup vehicle as well.... Alot of support behind it!

Is that CRX a bog stock one, with a B16A up front and driven by a former Formula 3000 champion??

Or am I thinking of someone else?

Yep, new engine. B20 now with b16 head. I'm sure Rob can cut his time by at least another second if Ivan would part with a little money and upgrade the stock brakes lol

Was an enjoyable day. a new PB for me too of 61.1

Post #99

Was an awesome day... cooler than the last one. Alot of people going off on the 3rd run tho.

We very happy with the performance of the CRX. Theres still alot of potiental left and 57s actually seems realistic now. We have a new 2.0 engines in the car now (1.6 before) which is great for track, has very wide power band. Was good to be able to use 5th gear down the straights now haha.

The brakes are not up to the task anymore and have to upgrade the stock radiator.

Looking forward to the next one alrdy!

yeah noticed that coming under brakes on the 3rd corner.

Looks like the radiotor bubbled over and got under your front left. Then you limped it back to the pets.

I assume it was just the radiator not being upto the task and nothing serious?
