Hyundai Excel Racing Series - Track Attack - Evil things are about to happen to Hyundai Excels  

PRO050

Lakeside Top Gear 14th Nov is the next hit out for the excel racers, last chance this year to go racing in the excels. Sure to be a huge meet seeing It's the last one for the year.

PRO050

Great idea on the meeting.
How good was the QRDC meet over the weekend, should have had my falcon there.

Mounfield Racing

In regard to promoting the Class as many know, we had an Excel at Auto Salon and this weekend it will be at Convention Centre for Capricorn Building Society.

Hey,
I want to enter the sprints on 17th of Oct but haven't been able to get in contact with David on [email protected]. Does anyone have any alternative way to get in contact?

If I can't get in contact in the next couple of days, plan b was to enter via queensland raceway, catch up with everyone and take it from there for next time... Sound resonable?

Geoff

scooby36

haha classic vid ! lol.

yea im also waiting for dave to reply to my email at that address..

wasas

hey Geoff. you can enter directly off the track attack website, you should get a email with the correct forms attached that you need to fax back.

He'll get back to you, its been a bit busy by the looks of it.
EDIT
Hope Dave doesnt mind...

Keep saying David is a cardboard cut out lol. Just enter through QR Track Attack points scoring system does not offer 10 days in the Greek Islands if you end up being the highest point scorer at years end.

funnykungfuman

perfect - cheers wasas

i'd take bragging rights from winning a fair comp in my first year racing over a greek holiday anyday

wasas

Good luck with that you'll find the pace is pretty up there, and some of the big guns are showing their experience by cutting 67 after 67.

Mounfield Racing

Let them dream lol. A Greek holiday would be easier to win..

PRO050

If it was easy everyone would be doing it

Mounfield Racing

Can anyone tell me what happened to Track Attack. I had a fear it was on the decline now after weeks of no information I am convinced its dead in the water.

PRO050

Track Attack is alive and well, web site is up to date Dave was there last weekend and is working his way through a steep learning curve.
Top Gear Lakeside 14th November will be the last hit out this year for the guys and girls that want to have a race.
If anyone needs help to get their car on the grid just send me a PM.

GT_88

Hi Ralph,

Sent you a PM.

Anyone,

Whats happening with suspension components/regs for next year????

Mounfield Racing

Have no idea mate what's happening but above post from Paul today was a little reassuring. Have been playing with one of our cars and think we have stumbled on how to make them run rich like the other top runners "with stock inlets" so we will see. As for suspension I would be hesitant to buy any components at this time as rumor has it someone has been trying to do a deal with Pedders or fulcrum as a sole supplier but that may or may not be factual. If that happens, I would likely go coil overs and and major modifications on our cars and run sprints only.

PRO050

Suspension will stay as is, not sure how the strut tops are coming along.
I think the best thing would be organise a get together maybe on the last sprint meet of the year.

GT_88

Thanks Ralph for thr feedback.
All i can say is i hope they finalize the regs out before next year!
They way its looking at the moment is having a lot of cars doing sprints and stuff all doing racing.
How about a meeting on the 14th (topgear)after the racing for all interested parties for 2011 circuit racing????

Thanks,

GT

PRO050

Hoping to have at least 7 cars ready to go for the Top Gear on the 14th, that would be a good start.
GT88 the circuit racing next year will be great, doing and have done a fair few car that are getting ready for next year, we (excel drivers) have spoken to the QR officals and they are happy to let us run the racing any way we see fit. Once the numbers grow they will run us in our own class.
The racing is completly different to the sprints, times aren't as importent a car 1 second off the pace at a sprint meet can run with the faster cars in the racing. We did just under 300km at QR a few weeks back and the slip stream is worth at least 1 to 1.5 seconds a lap, passing is easy with the tow you get from the car in front.
So don't get all caught up on lap times just get those thing on the grid and have some fun.
Cheers Paul

Mounfield Racing

Unfortunately the meeting on the 14th clashes with Noosa Historic Hill climb so that's where I will be and the following weekend is Oakey Street Sprints so if there is something on them I am out as well.

PRO050

Nice work guys 14 Excel entered already for this weeks sprint at Lakside.

Mounfield Racing

Hope you have a great weekend keep me posted on the series

datto510

circuit racing for the 14th Nov is fully booked out, I was hoping to have my car back on the road for that event....

acerace

hope you were going to be there this weekend. its been awhile since we went racing.

Mounfield Racing

Would like to be there in the Hundi, but have the S12 entered for Noosa Hill next weekend and Oakey street sprint the weekend after that. There's well over a grand gone in running those 2 outings.

Hi there,
I am new to this forum and currently building a excel. Not sure what to do about the suspension

Mounfield Racing

Hey good to see another Excel coming on the scene. I have a few cars and we have elected to run KYB stock replacement struts with Dobinson springs developed specifically for the Excel series specification, eg retain stock spring seats and strut top caps as well as capitulated.

For your info I also have a fully prepared and tested car for sale. Its a single cam new drive shafts, radiator, water pump, race seat, 4 point harness, race seat, steering wheel, full weld in cage, exhaust, 5 15 inch mags and tyres etc etc etc $5500

WOOPS my mistake this car is a Twin Cam not single cam.

bigp0_1

Would you know what price and availabilty for the springs and struts.

Mounfield Racing

Struts available at any local distributor off the shelf at maybe $85 each. I can do you a set of Dobinson coils today posted to you for $440 + FREIGHT. King springs also available at very competitive prices.

bigp0_1

Thanks for the info

I'm guessing the Hyundai Excel Is alot better than the Hyundai Accent? http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/driving/j...ticle412368.ece

Mounfield Racing

Well apart from the body style and build date, it is a little like comparing a 888 prepared Super Car to the car described in the VE Commodore owners manual.

PRO050

Top Gear 14th Nov meet is a full house, so the Excel boys are going to run in the Gemini race class, the excels will make their own grid about 30 sec behind the gemini's.
If you would like to get on the waiting list to fill empty spots give me a PM, remember cars have to be up to top gear standard (Min 1/2 cage, 4 point harness, tow hooks, overalls gloves boots and helmet, external kill switch ect.
If not get out and suport the guys that are running and check out the racing.
Cheers Paul
