only 5.7 seconds spread in the whole field, not bad.
no other categories could boast such close times I dont think.

72.44 for first time out, not bad :) can improve, just need to sort camber i think :thumbsup: the brand new tyres are thinning on the outside already!

TIME FOR A VOTE

At this stage the rules dont allow for sway bar upgrades.
One of the cars curently has larger bars, which it had before we started this series.

I think it will probably benefit the cars to allow sway bar upgrades, whats the general consensus ?

you could make a quote from a fellow competitor and spectators point of view.

"well, if you dont like excels this is one hellova great way to destroy them while having an absolute blast at the same time!"

OK guys i have looked into the swaybars and the guys running the bigger ones reckon that they are a great improvement.

SO you can now upgrade to 18mm swaybars front and rear - non adjustable !
I have amended the rules to suit.


front strut brace not permitted.
rear strut towers can only be tied together as part of the roll cage.

Cheers Jeff

Approved tyres.

* Normal road tyres of any brand
* Khumo KU36 (180 treadwear)
* Achilles 123 (220 treadwear)
* Bridgestone re001 (220 treadwear)
* Federal 545EVO (240 treadwear)

plus any road tyre with a treadwear above 200 with a retail price less than $300 is also approved.
but check first if your not sure !

At this stage the Federal 595 RSRis not approved due to it being marketed as a semi slick and concerns about running costs due to the 140 treadwear. We have one car currently running these tyres which he will be permitted to continue to do in the interim.

hey jeff, what does the "treadwear" number mean/relate to?? tread depth?
