MX-5 CLUB OF QLD TRACK DAY - 9 SEPTEMBER 2013

[MattR]

Tank is full, car has been checked, forms are filled out, cake is in a box, water bottles are in the freezer.
Clothing wise, I take it a cotton turtleneck will suffice? Gonna be bloody hot! O.o
SEE YOU ALL TOMORROW!

Yep, neck to wrist to ankle non flammable, so cotton in perfect.....

Walking stick packed
Mobility scooter on the trailer
Bread crumbs ready to drop so I find my way home
Tank full
Helmet .. well still to see if I can get it on

Guess best go do that now

See you there!

[speed freak]

Have fun tomorrow guys

[015CAR]

Yes have fun tomorrow guys- unfortunately I found some steel belting coming out of the inside wall of one of my track tyres and a small egg to show the point of the de-lamination or fatigue in the belts. Best found before I loaded it up as the front left on the car at speed into turn one...
No time to organise replacements at this late stage, and no desire to destroy my street tyres, so I am out unfortunately.
Again have fun- particularly you Roger- hope the helmet fits on, cause the red mist will come down and you will forget the face hurts when you are out there...

Thanks Richard, it was something that couldn't be delayed, so after two procedures and huge assistance from Kev05 and 'Pirate' [red Corolla GTi] I've got this far! At least I'm 'free until 10/10 and that's only 3 weeks out from Lakeside our last meet of the year, depends what he says then - fingers crossed!

Been feeling crook all weekend, finally managed to get stuck in to the things I needed to get done this afternoon. Fingers crossed I am feeling a little better in the morning but I have sent payment and I should be there.

Cheers,

Tim

I should be there tomorrow and pay on the day (I don't think transfering now from NAB will get in by tomorrow)

I made sure I organised my CTP this time round unlike last few times so I organised it a fortnight ago whether I was going or not it didn't matter.

And now I go to print it and guess what?

Apparently Brother printers don't print when the ink is too low


BUT it's all good I did a dodgy and fooled the printer

[TieNN89]

Gotta love electrical tape

[CaptainNate]

Had a blast! Thanks guys!

If anyone managed to grab the last couple of time sheets for group 4 on the sprint circuit, throw me a pm?

Times for all sessions should be on natsoft, either tonight or tomorrow.

[MINX]

Awesome day again
Thanks to all helpers , time keepers and organisers.

I had a great time.
Knocked half a second off my previous best 'Sprint' Ct Time

Regarding times,
they may not be on Natsoft. Circumstances have changed at QR/Lakeside and they are only planning on uploading 'Race' events, not Club days.

Nate, your fastest run on Sprint Ct was a 1.12.3996

Unfortunately they havent given me a list of Fatsest times of Day for Clubman ct, so i have to go through EVERY time sheet to work out the club points finishing order.
I will do this tomorrow.

Great day!!

Thanks to every one of you that attended, great to catch up again!

Many thanks to Brian, John & Neil for the great job getting us started and also Doug from QR, I'm sure we are Doug's favourite Club doing Sprints!!

I PB'd the Sprint Circuit down from 1:09.42 to 1:08.3 - HAPPY!!!

Has anyone even seen a guy smile as much as Marcel in the TRD 86 did today? He had an absolute ball!! Thanks all for extending the friendship to all our visitors

Great day, lots of fun. New PBs on both circuits for me, not surprisingly since I've only dríven QR once before. 1:10.92 on Clubman, 1:06.7X on Sprint. Phone battery died before I could save the Sprint PB session, so no telemetry Just gopro footage. I had been considering getting an aggressive alignment done in order to encourage my econotyres to wear out quickly so I could get some decent ones... Turns out no alignment is necessary. Only 12,000km and 3 track days since the previous owner fit them, and the shoulders have started to come apart from corner loads today. Will have to push new tyres up the priority list.

Sprint PB:


Clubman, didn't record PB, but this is a tenth slower:

Here is a 'dirty' 62 with rears a bit over heated

[015CAR]

FULLY committed on turn one there Mate!
You are either packing cast iron goolies, or a little bit of poo just came out!
I now know why I'm not posting your kind of times... Well done.
