NSW Club Track Day @ Wakefield - 4 November 2007

[Craig]

My mechanics adjusted the position of my rear sway to deal with issues that I had with some oversteer that I have been experiencing. (At this point in time, I am unlikely to complain about oversteer again.) This caused massive understeer issues, as anyone who followed me over the hill could attest to.

WTF have you done to my car...it was neutral when I owned it...must have been that sex change you gave it that ruined it, loosing it's balls must have changed the weight bias!

Dad and I did the sensible thing, and changed the sway bar back to the previous setting, but in the process of doing that, as I tightened one of the D clamp bolts attaching the sway bar to the chassis, the bolt sheared off.

Whilst the end result did mean a tad less understeer, it was still significant understeer which lead to no new PBs this time and a best on the day of 1:15:89, 0.67 over my PB. And now I have 104 days to stew on the situation

So my 1.14.32 still stands on baldy old phucked RA1's then Mr Guider, whilst your new tyres enabled you a 1.15.89! Tsk tsk tsk!

Was a very fun day, weather held off and after avoiding some water seepage the track fully dried up and set some good times. My listed starting PB for the day was 1:18 something because of how early I signed up and paid(I think this is atleast the second time I got the #1) and I was in lucky last Group 6. By the end of the day I was chasing Casey in the SP in G2 and failing to catch up but atleast keeping in sight. Managed a very good 1:13:66 which was eerily exactly the same as Irwin to the hundredth

Also big thanks to Mike Hicks for letting Me, Irwin and Lithium have one last round

Looking forward to trying to chase down CB next trackday.

Ahh - you were the guy in the red NB8B that came screaming up behind me on the cool-down lap into the pits. I thought you were going to try and overtake along the pit entry a couple of times

Pretty impressive times - I'd need a longer straight to pull any sort of a gap on you

edit - why did we only get times for three laps in Run 8? I'm sure my last lap was a 1:12.5

Yeah I was fiddling with tyre pressures after doing a tyre swap during lunch. So was coming in as hot as possible to measure the temperature variations from centre to outside edge after each session....Also just a hoon....
