Was fun with the rain. Shame the fast cars kept spinning

So who's up for the next one on the 28th October? I know DHC is.

[DHC09]

sure am! :D

Talk bout a steep learning curve on my first track day... had almost every condition today.. dry / wet / pouring down yeah it was funny seeing those car spinning on those semi's into the gravel and dont forget the drifts

Had a great time and its days like this that makes the "investments" worth it :D too bad we had to go when i was getting comfortable with the car/track. hopefully it'll be more stable conditions next time. and photographers!!!! :P

Bump

Jeff, are the new bits for your car something to do with power?

And OzHonda are doing another group I think. I'm not bothering to go in there group again, they will be too fast in the dry on slicks. They were too fast in the wet on slicks

Come on Wei Wei, my stock brakes are still looking new.

[DHC09]

I will be going again

........with upgrades

[Hsien]

looks pretty interesting dave...what are the rules on overtaking and stuff??

[SuperDave]

Haven't heard from you in ages Hsien, you thinking about coming out?

There are no rules as such. But they recommend that it is done on the straights and the car being past is ment to slow to let them past safely before the next braking point. Other than that it is left to how the drivers involved want to deal with it.

Not sure what you mean by stuff? Need to be a little more specific :D

[Hsien]

I've been buried by work at the moment. Research proposal due in and confirmation seminar at the end of the month... :(

I'm just mainly concerned about people hitting your car by accident while on the track and misjudging corners and coming off the tracks and stuff...don't want my new baby scratched..haha.. :P

[SuperDave]

I don't know if QR are telling porky pies or not, but they claim that there has been no car-to-car contact yet. As for scratches, I hear the gravel traps are good for those But if everyone uses common sense, like keep a decent gap, then every thing should be fine. The cars are grouped by experience and by lap times.

[Hsien]

I see...mm..sounds interesting...

[DHC09]

Research proposal due in and confirmation seminar

Sounds like someones is doing a PhD

I did my confirmation in the start of the year..... not fun..

And thats why we're not running with the hondas this time
