Yes a very very under developed car. (second event for me) and the results were fun, counting a close(ish) encounter with the tyre wall. When the rain soaked the track i had a few moments but that's all the part of competing. And learning to develop/improve your suspesnion.
Big thanks and thumbs up to the starter marshall for the day who braved the conditions out there waving people off , hope ya didn't get a cold after all you endured :wink:

It should be interesting to see what my car does around the track :lol:

i just hope you dont beat me

what still has to be done to yor car?

When it goes round corners the right way (when the back doesn't want to swap ends with the front), the back ends too high and just floats on the track. lower in the rear and stiffer front, sort out my flat spot when accelerating , should see a couple of seconds drop in lap times. hopefully.

SCCC are holding a sprint event on the 2nd at Levels.
CCC are holding a ( someone please confirm) event on the 3rd.

as there are a few CCC members posting on here, can someone provide details as to the type/style of event is on the 3rd Dec. i have full intention of prepping the Levin for Levels (if there are spare places) or Ruapuna (if not an actual raceday, only have rally licence), and would be keen as for another blat, especially with over (not under) steer.

Sun Nov 26 is Mt Alexander Gravel Hill Climb,
Yes Speed events is Sunday the 3rd Dec
Also on that weekend is the waimate 50, whatever the hell that is.

I can confirm that the CCC sprint is Dec 3. Dec 2 is RATEC's Hawkswood Rd sprint, and SCCC sprint at Levels. It's a very busy motorsport weekend

Waimate 50, a world famous street race that unfortunately hasn't run since the ill-fated Queenstown street race. unfortuneately, won't run again this year either. :cry:

This is a good opportunity for anyone wanting to know how one of these events runs and to ask questions about starting to race in events, i know a few of you here are up-and-comers so don't be shy

Ah that's a pity. Would've been keen for saturday. I'l try and pop out for the latter part of the day and have a geeze

by **Kahlua** » Thu Nov 23, 2006 11:33 pm

Lol Logan, we should tell them at the next meeting that people do like Saturdays...

I'm holding out for January's Event, although I'm sure I"ll have fun in the pacecar I get to drive (as long as its not in pieces at the time)
