Wow....what a weekend. Its not a cheap deal, but they ran a very,very well ran event. If you ever thought you'd like to go around the Mtn. no holds barred, 2017 could be it for you...great bunch of blokes competing too...didnt really see any dic;;eads at all.
Very sorry for Steve who had the issue, but had a few drinks, chewed the fat,...he bounced back, and returned Sunday and worked 2 lots of magic on my car.
Sorted Tire pressures - took 3 secs off next run
Tweaked Shocks - took 2 further seconds off next run.
I think he should come to all our events and just hang around in the garage!!...who nows how fast I could go with his magic hands.lol. Thanks mate.
Seriously, it was a real shame that he couldnt run, but he helped me heaps.( as did his old mate Gerard who punts a little BMW pretty hard).
That track is just a fantastic thing....some bits just never feel right, other bits are so flowing it just feels like you got it right.
I got down to a 2:55, which is way better than I thought I would do first time.
The car is heaps faster than I am, and I reckon theres several more seconds in it, easy.
The shitty video I got makes it look like a cruise down to get the paper on a Sunday morning, ...it feels heaps quiker on the track....and the poor old speedo thinks its around 6pm all day!.
Mornings were best, the car got hot in the arvos, and I didnt run the last session as I didnt want to stuff it up.
See if you can find the 'Grate" at the top of the mountain - bit of a tip.. you have to get real close to the wall...
Pricelss advice!!....thanks.....give the drain grate a tikle and everything to Skyline just hapens....dont go near the drain, and its a hard slog all the way to Skyline. It looks wrong to go way out there...but it really works. Thanks again Racehatch.
Will post a few vids once sorted.
