Did anyone get any footage for you tube at P I from the meeting on the weekend. Also what were results 1st 2nd 3rd and so on for the 250 twin class thanks.
A link to the timing ite is included on this page also. NOTE: The points show a diference from the club ones as an error was made in supplying the correct pointscore.
Mike, Footage for Race 1 from my kart can be seen here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8_OPdggTIg It was a great race between Warren McIllveen, Gary Pegararo and myself. Seems the extra power injected into my Yamaha turned my gearing too short down the straight! I saw the fastest ever top speed for Phillip Island in any of my 250's. Seems Gary and Warren got some extra mumbo too! I richened it up for race 2 so that the engine would nose over a little up top end to knock some engine revs out of it, the bloody engine took the extra fuel went even faster down the straight, which then made me pay the price for too much/too long over revving on 600klms old pistons.
Anyway, learned a lot and the damage is very minor with the cracked piston.
Sam great footage thought you were going to have a crack at Warren on the last lap that bloody 18 kart you must curse every time you see it ( only joking Warren ) Pegararos kart looked quick as well good stuff. ;D
Can you beleive it, the only damage I did was the spark plug, pistons don't count as they had done all events and practice days since April 09, near the whole 2009 season! Barrel, powervalve and Head are purrrrrrfect!
Hi Sam, Your lucky, it should have been much worse. I guess experience grapped the clutch very quickly to minimise the damage. Did it happen down changing for Honda?
It was 100% throttle almost into the braking area, no downshift. I got onto the clutch ASAP, you virtually don't hear it. The video is at home, I'll youtube the blow up after dinner. Pity because the change made to the chassis for the new Bridgestone in Race 2 was much better than Race 1 setup......if only....
I reckon this class is great. Its affordable and a great feeder to the Gearbox karts. And man Phillip Island is a great circuit...wish I could be racing there too!!!!
