Hey lads I'll be on tonight for the race, might not make it until 5:45 or so my time (8:45 EDST). Haven't done any running at all, but should be a heap of fun
These little buzz-boxes are awesome fun. White knuckles and gritted teeth at 90 km/h trying to keep your speed up. It's brilliant fun. Hope your connection can hold out this time.
Sorry lads, late notice, should have posted last night, but after some testing the mediums have been canned. We are now running with comfort hards. The cars feel much closer on hards. The Minica remains a mystery, it is either horribly slow or devastatingly fast. Really weird?? But BJ can do what he pleases on car choice. I have put some lap time targets in the point system as well. Can I just confirm those times though Serge and Ads, it was the low 1:50.xxx's we were running last night?? BJ what times did you end up getting on the hards in the end?? Musta, you and I will have our work cut out with a gaggle of Div 2 guys in a faster car trying their hardest to dodge alien testicles.
I think I got a 1'50.9XX at some point but mostly running in the 51s or higher, but that was only after I got rid of the baby car seat and the spare tyre (and rolled up the windows, turned off the aircon and painted it red... Lol)
It would seem my Tuesday night is not so busy now! - short notice as always but has anybody got a car spare?
Yeah, I can send you one Joe. Won't get it to you till around 8 tonight though. You'll be fine. You'll be using either the Cuore or MIRA TR-XX AVANZATO R 97, both identical little Daihatsu buzz boxes.
What gives?, how many seconds a lap do the hards add, I have done some prep on Mediums but will have to go in cold on Hards. Is this an enduro? pit stops? I'm getting an eerie feeling about all this.
Hards add about 4-5 secs a lap. We were having some inconsistencies with cars on different compounds, so Anon has decided to move all to the same compounds and given BJ a faster car to keep up instead of softer tyres. The racing (even though we only tested with 4) is very close with this arrangement and will be an absolute cracker I think. Just drop 10 km/h on entry speed and you'll be about right.
Your going in cold?...i don't even know what the car looks like let a lone know how it rolls until just before the race..hehe...gonna be interesting for sure!
Boys, running a bit late, and wife has to duck out and grab some flu med's for daughter. I'll be on as soon as she gets back. 15 mins.
Tough when kids are sick...goodluck. Don't send the car Anon..your busy enough. thanks..but it's 11pm here and i'm fading fast..sorry
