Awesome weekend ahead, the rain will make it very interesting ...
Goodluck to all :)
Re: 2011 Australian Championship - Eastern Creek
Anyway thanks for the updates & bring out the wets.
Re: 2011 Australian Championship - Eastern Creek
Feel free to correct me.
Nationals has been pretty damn good.
Jamo (QLD) is FLYING in the Inters, May (QLD) is firing in the Nat's with young Dalton going hard lookinjg for a sixth, & Tim Philip(?) (QLD) is going great guns in 125 with Reed hot on his heels.
Very mixed bag with wheels coming off, chassis being broken, tyre going flat, and greasey conditions in the first heat. Sunday should be good.
Errors and ommissions excepted.
;)
And PIL?.........like man with two D...s?

Re: 2011 Australian Championship - Eastern Creek
Race 2 had a leaking rear tyre and just made it accross the line on last lap.
Race 4 instantly snapped out into turn 1 for a 230kph backward spin :o.... (I didn't run out of talent, the cause is still a mystery that's bugging me as everything looks fine and I drove it back to the pits after the race)
I've just experienced 10 days of race results where the 6 months of relentless efforts have not paid. The progress is there......just not the fruit. ;)
Seriously, it's the progress that everyone makes that drives us all to excel further. Awesome effort by all!
I'm not touching another go-kart/webmaster till August 18 where I'm putting a new crank in my kart in USA. Till then, I'm actually going to live in the house instead of the garage. ;D
Hello Trace, remember who I am?
Re: 2011 Australian Championship - Eastern Creek
See you both in a month.......and thanks again..

Re: 2011 Australian Championship - Eastern Creek
As a matter of interest, have they done anything to the track recently, looking at Natsoft it looks like lap records were being broken in just about every category today.
[/quote]
Gavin the track was probably as bad as it has ever been I think it really comes down to the quality of the equipment and the tyres

But most other catergories also broke the lap record......so can't just be the new webmaster equipment and tyres.
Track was much better, that's what mostly caught me out.......ready for it....too much grip. :-[
Re: 2011 Australian Championship - Eastern Creek
Must be the power of lycra and big boobs that captures the attention of all you males :o.
And no I will not be changing my outfit to get you to look at me - I hate displaying headlights during the daytime especially when it's as cold as it was last week ;).
PS: Nice to have my Sam back finally!

Re: 2011 Australian Championship - Eastern Creek
i think the biggest thing to come from that photo is the fact that 2 stock hondas are infront of a open 125 gearbox....

Lube the chain, put fuel in it, check the tyre pressures every now and then.
Getting myself another Stock Honda since Trace has taken mine.

Evan,
Is that 4.5sec a lap quicker around the Hills Hoist?
I'm amazed Degan hasn't got on here to tell us I was in fact passing him down the straight.....who would ever remember about his overflow bottle full of fuel.....I don't ;)
I did beat him fair and square in the last race but porky pies have strected so far that I was told on the weekend I was OVER 20kgs too light!
Don't you love porky pies.....hmmm especially on cold rainy days...

Re: 2011 Australian Championship - Eastern Creek
Good footage of Gary getting punted off on the first lap at turn 2. Nothing to do with a wet track and losing it under brakes. Roll on PI.
[/quote]
Did Gary get punted off?
I thought that he ran out of track due to being squeezed wide and dropped a wheel off the edge of the track. At least that's what I thought he said to us anyway. Wether he was squeezed "intentionally" or not could be another issue.
Then again I could be mistaken.
Just imagine where he may have been in the points tally had he have fixed the kart prior to race 2 and had his usual podium finishes! Then again he is a perfectionist and obviously wanted to fix the kart properly and not miss the possibility of something potentially dangerous going undiagnosed and rectified.
Yes, roll on RD 2 at the Island.
We found that we were 4.3 HP down for EC than the dyno session prior to the rebuild and have now rectified the issue (which was something I overlooked in the rebuild prior to EC). :'(
We also have a Kart diet program underway as we always come in at around 227kg post race. ;D ;)
