Apparently the 2 sub 1.20s cars have been sent home. So p3 now becomes pole on the grid.

Any reason given?

Too fast. Rules were no faster than 80seconds

Rules seem to be changing every 10 minutes up here the situation now is every time you break your time you get a 10 second penalty this includes cars going under 1.20 so those 2 cars are running. Club racing in qld appears to be unorganized and chaotic, wasn't like this when I've done prod sports enduros up here in the past

Well done Nigel, least you guys kept the car together, saad to see it stop at the crossover 5 laps or so from home, but then fire up and keep going!! Well done!! Podium for your Class is excellent!!

Thanks for the 'live stream' info, followed it all the way :wink:

Bit of a joke weekend in the end, we did well considering we were in the boat with a couple of the other cars that didn't get all laps scored (If you look at the times on natsoft lap 49 or 50 was where we pitted but instead our 5 minute pitstop was amalgamated with 2 laps for 1 8 minute lap!) so we were beaten by a class 3 MX5 number 75 which was nowhere near being 3rd outright… Not to mention they decided to change the rules overnight so that you could do faster than a 1:20 with a minimal penalty… But these things happen I guess and I doubt I could do a better job running it, so it was still good fun and we'll be at the next one.

I got to see the live stream and saw the Hydrawash car quite a few times, always there and I too have no idea how #75 got to where it was! If they used the transponders it would combine say lap 49 + pit stop and record a total time as the car went back out onto the track - I'm not sure how they would have calculated the actual pit stop if, say, 4-5 minutes - anyway well done to Daniel, I was hoping they could manage a podium for 3rd outright. Same thing was the #66 Excel, I know he can drive and I know it's fast but hell, how it got there astounds me!

Appropriate number as well '86' on an 86

Question peeps. On the Natsoft results, what is the meaning of the Charts page?

little decks · Postby **little decks** » Mon May 05, 2014 8:58 pm

Its a lapscore chart, so it lists the positions by car number for every lap

Really feel, like I'm coming off a high now, it was lots of fun. The 86 is a great car for the event, it's pretty much showroom with a cage in it. Few little problems with the adjuster on the steering wheel. (Had to hold the bloody thing up for 20 laps) and it would loose the clutch after 20 laps (hyd problem in the slave or master). If we had not had these problems, more than likely a class win would have been on the cards.
But with 3, 5 minute stops. Put your fork in it we were done! The NC mx5 are still the better cars LOL!

On the other note, I though, I was a little left of centre, you should of seem my co-drive, MAD!!!!! I don't think I've laugh so hard!

It was and I had great time and would reconmend, to anyone to have a go!

Felt sorry for t-bro parked up :frown:

Next year?
