when is this coming back to QLD?

Ahhh that is a sedan I know well Ange
Bring her back up to Sydney for a run -would love to run against it again!
Looking good.
Cheers.

yeah she is pretty popular up there!

my first drive of the car was at wakefield last year,
i did a few 1.11 laps with its current setup

the car is still quicker than the driver though

Oh im an amateur too ed, first time driving on a big track and with other cars....only ever done 2 hill climbs before and they weren't timed.

Name of the game, have fun. Think my skills better suited to hill climbs, that outright speed although a thrill scared me a bit as my car,not set up for it really and my skills at what I reckon would be 200kmh or close too aren't as good as I would want them to be.

Your car wasnt set up, bloody hell... Try driving the body rolling spaceship i did! haha
I worked it out roughly using revs and tyre diameter i was doing around the 180kmh toward the end of the straight, but who knows...

what a good fun weekend!
Got pinged for noise first up, so cut up one of the tow car`s steel mud flaps to deflect the sound a bit. I missed the next sprint, but still had a few goes at try to tame the track!
Had a ball chasing down Zeds!
I had added more toe, camber and rate to the rear for this weekend and it felt alot better in the high speed corners than last time. No PB but fairly happy w times.

Great to meet heaps of the guys from here.

Particularly liked the Sunday show and shine. A more relaxing day and a good opportunity to stop and talk to everyone.
Some very cool cars too!

I might just have to head to QLD in 2 years for the next one!

stock1200ute1,
wow! well done..stock brakes?
u did very well considering ur suspension and brakes were stock.and at 17, u've got heaps of potential mate.
that being said, i have alot of respect to the cars that are driven to the track, and after track racing,are then driven home.
also i haven't had a chance to look at my 1200s, but do utes and coupes share the same rear end leaf spring and shock setup?

You can borrow a vehicle and carriage from work for all of us

For the record I don't like to chew chew..... Just the chuga chugga part

Thanks mate. Yeah the brakes were stock, the only upgrade was the compound brake pads so that it reduced brake fade a bit...

Utes leaves are stiffer than the coupes i believe, as far as i know the ute leaves are supposed to be able to take up to 500 extra kgs, in essence the coupe leaves are a bit softer. (on that note id like to test some coupe leaves in my ute as the rear end is shocking...)

As for the shocks, they differ between the coupe and ute.

Your coupe is in its own league!!

Also i noticed ur car had an inside video recorder.if ur were recording,would you please post up the footage?
