Wreck to Race.

[Jarred]

Neat improvement!

Hopefully i'll prop down and say hi on sunday

at sandown that is

[Peter Jones]

Thanks to all that popped by to say hello today.

New setup is paying off at Sandown, new PB of 1:39:02

Racing was very well organised by the Fiat Car club.

Very diverse field of entrants form $100 Coronas to no expense spared BMW M3s and GT40 replicas.

Great weather and the car was running well.

The race format was a bit odd,

• Practice, 1 Warm up 1 flying and 1 cool down lap
• Round 1 & 2 - 1 warm up, 12 minutes flying and 1 cool down lap.
• Round 3 & 4 - 1 Warm up, 3 flying and 1 cool down lap.

I think they realised they wouldn't finish the day if they kept doing 12 minute rounds.

I thought it was all going to be 3 flying laps, the first round felt like an enduro! I thought they were going to leave us out there all day!

CHeers Guys,

Official results are up already. http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/re...04/04/2010.SAN

Timing was by Dorian transponder which should be a little more accurate than my in car setup.

Dorian had me pegged at 1:39.0052 a fraction quicker than I thought.

The M3 was in class 3-6 (Racing cars and specials >4500cc) He was running in group 3 so he should appear in runs S3,S8,S13 he went home after that.

That M3 ran a 1.16.69!

Thing was screaming. Unbelievable

[Peter Jones]

Yeah, but he didn't buy his car off e-bay for $800 and build it in his driveway

[16v_kid]

Thats right!

First video is uploaded now it'll be available shortly once YouTube has converted it.. This is the first 10 minutes of Round 2 in which I cut my fastest lap.
