I had no say in it Allan. It's the number that appeared when I registered. I just figured that I was the seventh persom to register for the event.
Next time I'll request, 50 my supersprint number. Maybe take a bottle of wine down to the track and ask Zan to reserve 7 for Hammer, next time.

From a quick look on the web there seems to be a variety of motors, from big bike engines to turbo rotary. Could it give the R35 a run for it's money...

Ah-huh. There have been a few MNR Vortx running at NSW Supersprints over the last four years. Best Wakefield Park times were:

1:03.58 by Anthony Preston in 2009
1:03.663 by Mark Lowing in 2010
1:04.016 by Mark Lowing in 2011
1:05.050 by Chris Kostakis in 2012

Although in 2012, Marek Tomaszewski's best time in his R35 GTR was 1:02.062!

Anyone know what the noise regulations are for Wakefield park..My manifold cracked and I am in the process of putting a new one on that will require a whole new exhaust.. I thought I might just put one hot dog on for now and run it loud..Will that be a problem....patrick

Is there a noise regulation in Wakefield?

Suspense · Postby **Suspense** » Tue Nov 27, 2012 7:34 pm

Per the supp regulations:

14. Noise
Maximum Noise Limit: 95 dba at 30 metres
Any car found to exceed the maximum noise emission limit will be suspended from the event until the Chief Scrutineer / Clerk of Course is satisfied that action has been taken to bring it within the limit. Any vehicle that exceeds the limit on two runs will be excluded from the remainder of the event. If a vehicle exceeds the noise limit on any lap or laps within a run then only those laps in which the vehicle conformed to the requirements will be allowed for the purpose of the results.

I'm doubtful you would be much louder than the rotary engines that regularly run!

or the Shelby replica I saw/heard there.

They now forecast high 30s for Sydney on Saturday and as high as 41 degrees on Sunday. :shock:

I hope it's much cooler @ Wakefield. Otherwise, I'm going to melt in my racing overalls - I might just have to race with the A/C on.

You'll be right Al. Forecast for Goulburn on Sunday is top of 25°C, partly cloudy with a shower or two.

Suspense · Postby **Suspense** » Thu Nov 29, 2012 7:35 pm

Forecast for Goulburn is still mid-high 20s and chance of shower or two.

Grid sheets are in!

Some fast cars in the first timer grid.

...I'm not sure of the logic putting a GTR35 behind me... I think I'll be letting him pass fairly promptly ;)
