QUOTE(flyline @ Dec 30 2007, 12:46 PM) [snapback]1281760850[/snapback] how many cars are on the track at one time on saturday sprints? xoox Depends on how big the groups are but it's a staggered start so you generally have some time between each other Probably around 10 cars, I'm usually too busy checking who's coming next to count the field  |

Cameron is still yet to get out of this group ... or is that the garage ON TOPIC I think with the numbers your Skyline is putting out you shouldn't be in the novice group for too long flyline.

QUOTE(mosport @ Dec 31 2007, 07:47 PM) [snapback]1281764952[/snapback] its pretty rare not to overtake or be overtaken, even cars that do similiar times have different characteristics that affect where they are fast on the circuit. ok ok is there an unwritten rule in this department.... like does the slow guy kind of move over for the fast guy or does the fast guy have to work for it.... school me! and the entry form on the web site is under construction??? is that the same for every1 else???? xoxo |

Fast guy has to work for it... most slower drivers will lift off the throttle for a sec to let you pass but really they dont have to. You pass on the right and only on the straights. |

There isn't supposed to be any overtaking anywhere but the two straights, but when you're in a competitive bunch it does happen. I maintain my line through corners and move out of the way if someone wants to pass me. Obviously it's their responsibility to do it safely and will be their fault if something goes wrong. Entry form works fine for me for the standard Sprint series (starting in January), however the Top Gear Sprint series (starting in February) still is under construction http://www.queenslandraceway.com.au/entry_...rints_entry.pdf ROCK ON R~R |

QUOTE(mosport @ Jan 10 2008, 10:44 AM) [snapback]1281798678[/snapback] I have found that most cars that are slow through the corners wont move over to let you through even though your going to sit right on their arse through the next 20 turns they dont give a shit. this is what i find too, and i cant pass em on the straight, so i have to wait till i can just push past on the inside of turn 2 or into the 2nd S |

I even had a BA GT Falcon let me go by on the straight even though his car would have been considerably quicker. Will be interesting to see when I get into some of the other groups. |

That shall be frustrating if that happens... Damn it being a paper clip can't give them a nudge down the back of the track without anyone seeing

Well hopefully i will be getting down there in the Z, to break my circuit virginity this year. Am i correct in assuming that the personal safety requirements for the drags apply here? ie long sleeves and pants. helmet is a given. Also what is the go with the license? One off fee and it allows you to race or what? |

One off fee and it allows you to race or what? Correct ... Long sleeve shirt Pants - Jeans, cargos, fat pants, bomber pants etc  Enclosed shoes - Personally I like those which have a thinner sole so you can feel your pedal pressure better You can pay for a single day license or there is another one which is annual ? The other lads will know

or a day license for either $25 or $20... If you buy a day license, you have a month to decide to upgrade to the yearly. |

I like being in the faster groups as my PB's aften come from chasing down a car that is just that little bit quicker
