Wakefield - NSW Club Track Day 8 July 2006

[bigdog]

And I fondly remember spinning Dave's SP in the fishhook at Wakefield too!!!

Dave doesn't remember it that fondly though... Reckons there was grass stuck in the tyre bead or something like that I reckon he should be grateful to have had such a distinguished test driver

So... who hasn't spun Dave's SP yet?

[StanTheMan]

me.

*puts hand up!*

Sports exhaust and semi-slicks put on the car last night. Went out for a quick celebratory hoon after the game last night. DAMN I LOVE my car.

Can't wait for the weekend, it is going to be fantastic!

Peter,

Just that in certain circumstances the LSD can bite and the rear steps out unexpectedly. Great fun when you know it's gunna happen but might be a bit of a handfull initially on the track with Matt never having dríven one in anger. I'd highly recommend a skidpan day at EC on the wet skidpan to learn the LSD in safety, and it's darn good fun...I still fondly remember driving Dave's SP with a Guru LSD there!

If thats still unclear....the Video where i'm chasing Red Baron at Wakefield is a classic example. Turn 9 doing about 100 in the wet. on the gas....accelerating ....whack the rear just slide away from under me. yippeeeeeee.....

Chasing Red Baron

its about 4min30sec into it. 35mb


'ohhhhn shiiiit....."

[Snowie]

Try a locked diff , now that adds fun. Amazingly good in the dry. Scarey in the wet. A pain to move round the pits though. Obviously no good for a road car.



So looking forward to Saturday.

[Li7hium]

Snowie,

Which MX5 are you bringing?

[irwin83r]

which sticky tyres you end up buyin matt?

[Peter Howe]

OK, thanks Craig.

EC Skid Pan for a training session then.
I've already noticed in the dry, it bites earlier in the turn, whereas it used to slide a bit.

Got a second hand set of Toyo RA-1s, on a set of 15x7 rims.

[Snowie]

Snowie,

Which MX5 are you bringing?

The 1989 track car. The one with the red nose.



It would have had a green roof too, but the camera mount fouls the hard top. Oh well, only two colours... have to either paint the nose silver or every other panel a different colour.

See you tomorrow.

[StanTheMan]

have fun Boys & girls

Only 1 more sleep

Ok, for those wanting to go down to Wakefield tomorrow morning in a group, I will be hitting the M5 at Beverly Hills at about 5.45am. Burrrrr

Pick up point at the crest of the hill after the “on” lane.

Next pick up point will be the Shell service station/centre on the crest of the hill just after Moss Vale (Sally’s Corner). I think it takes about an hour and a quarter to get there from Beverly Hills.

I’ve been going through withdrawals waiting for tomorrow. My last time on a track was Natmeet at Easter.

Hi CB.

What time do you go past King Georges Road exit.

Keep you eye out for a white NA with blue stripes.
