Lakeside.... That place needs radios, its run by he same people, same rules for both tracks.
Maybe next year If there is a lot of blokes coming up, I could get my hands on 1/2 doz radios for the out of towners? I run with the outlaw class up here, I'm sure they would be happy to help out. PSCRAQ would of had a few sets going spare to lend out, just a thought?
I shared mine with my co-drive, just plugged and un-plugged the head phones.

Agree 100pct. It will also make people disregard the flags over time.

We have to remember that the Queensland people also decided it was ok to run a Ginetta in Prod Sports class B, that explains a lot I reckon...

They also accepted an entry for an R-35 GTR into an event with a 1:20 time limit...

That particular car and driver are regulars at QR and have plenty of Natsoft history of well below that time, so much so that during the race on some laps they were breaking more than lightly on the straight to stay over the time…

I would be the last one to say that NSW prod sports is any better than QLD, they have all been getting it wrong for a long time....
Let's hope the QR people learn from this and improve the way they do things, hopefully next year it wil be at Morgan park.

As QR and Morgan park are different promoters it won't happen. The 300 will be at QR. The Prod Sports one hour race may or may not be at Morgan Park.

I know Neil is looking at ways to improve the race and looking for feedback so would be well worth emailing him with thoughts and ways things could be improved, without having a general whinge about how you got ripped a lap or someone went too quick or their pit stop was too fast.

Even though I only got to drive about 20 laps over the whole weekend I had a ball and will be back, whether it is in Scooter if Tbro wants to run Scooter again, or in my car, hopefully with Tbro co driving.

For a first in a few years QR did a cracker of a job in giving us the opportunity up here to have an enduro for club racers and the few little niggles that happened will be improved upon I'm sure.

So how hot can a BP get??????

So I reckon it's slightly flocked, Hopefully cams are ok, reckon the rods and pistons might have gotton a wee bit hot, but it still turned over so the Kendall oil did it's job.
Found the reason for the blowjob, one very closed thermostat causing the small hose to split.
Now to remove, strip and start on another engine biuld, so will it be back on the track or is Tezza going....................................................................................................................................................................................

:shock:

E30 M3. Stay tuned. Holy fark it's a Prodsport car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Be nice to race with some real power for a change.

Bugger, hopefully it's not too bad inside and can live to fight another day.

At this stage we should have a plethora of cars to choose from for next year's 300, what with the M3, Scooter and the S14 all ready to go

Would be a good look on the Friday to take them all out to decide which one is going to work best and have the others lined up just in case......

I may plan for this in 2015 if I can start to get some decent QR times.

I wouldn't worry about your times, better off getting out there and have a go, no point standing on the outside looking in. Saying I wish I had ago.
I enjoyed my self and I'm a pretty average peddler.
If you worried about been quick enough, just by a evo :mrgreen:

Sooooooooooo, could this be my new 1 hour car??????

I wonder if it could be a prodsport car, prolly not, after all its built in a car factory. Its an original 968 Club Sport factory supported "Firehawk Series" car.

or maybe one of these, bloody cheap,
