Wow

That didn't take long. The vacancy is filled but I'm now taking names for the stand by list.

Danny,

Pssst.

Phil Ashton from NSW (Charlie Brown) has entered as the third entrant in class H with us. He had a well sorted NA 2000cc NC at the last Natmeet and he peddles it very well having nocked a full 3secs of his Wakefield Park lap times since then. You don't happen to know what he has done to enter class H do you? Possibilities are 2.3l, 2.5l because I don't think he has gone down the FI route.

John T.

No idea John, but if you're running R-spec tyres like I am then Phil might be on his own in H-Class. However, if we're all on R-spec and seeing that there are only three of us in H-Class, JBT might leave us there instead of moving us to J-Class and omitting H-Class.

See you Monday week.

Cheers,
Danny

Ensure that Charlie Brown can run on R Spec's I reckon is the solution. Charlie Brown what tyres do you normally run on the track?

CAR53 · Postby **CAR53** » Fri Apr 04, 2014 6:11 pm

I have both R specs and 200 tread ware tyres that I bought for natmeet. The road tyres make Lakeside a bit scary on the limit though especially breaking hard from over 200kph. Allowing group H to run R specs would be safer if Phil agrees.

Phil usually runs Kumho V70A. Though I expect he'll be taking his road tyres up to NatMeet ... just as he did for Canberra 2012.

I've got to admit I'm a bit disappointed to see that I'm the only one running in Class A "Standard NA6". I'll just have to make do with seeing how many scalps I can take from "faster" classes. :twisted:

Like the attitude

Should be a fair few, especially considering the reputation Lakeside has for eating the overly enthusiastic. As long as you're not scared...

I found that too John - it really scared the begeezus out of me - and then I woke up!! :roll:

Bryan, i'd say with 'little reddys' reputation, aim for 1:10, being total standard that would be an excellent time and any better then classify that as excellent!! Regardless, a lap of 1:12 or thereabouts is a total fun lap that gets the blood pumping - see me when you arrive at the track and I will introduce you to 'trackphotos' [Ross] and get the 'lapceiver' organised for you for the day

I'm definitely in J-Class because I don't have a set of 180+ treadwear tyres to qualify for H-Class entry. So it looks like it'll be up to you John. :beer:

Cheers,
Danny

Danny - surely you can get your hands on a set nc rims and road tyres
Otherwise we miss out on Qld points
I have my set of 200 utg 205/15 star specs I used for natmeet 2012 and Wakefield
They will be a bit slower than my 225/15 rs3s though
