Arriving at Trappers Sunday morning scrutioneering at Wakefield The QLD track boys together again - Fleet, JT , AZA. JP arrives SERIOUS Brakes BLIPMANS Smokescreen
Damn! What sort of camera do you have? They are some of the nicest quality pics I've seen on here ever. Great job! :thumbsup:
John... you change your wheels again? Last I saw they where gold GTR wheels? Nice pics and I wish I could have made it also.... have driveshaft issues so didnt want to risk the distance.
And a few more pix again .... Didn't take that many good pix over the weekend, especially at the track. But here are a few ... On the way up I tried a few "action" shots of moving Zeds. Here is Jack's Z and Blip's hybrid. Ben, you aint never giving me shyte again for running different wheels front'n'back! This one could be another contender for a caption comp ... I know I was tempted to go down a certain path! Lou likes she is in Bliss Land, and I don't think K-Zed's ever seen a girl smoke a cigar. Ben was also seen smoking a cigar, and his car thought it would outdo him ... Below we have a few track shots, Wizard first up, with a couple of Wokburner, then Wykked streaking past. Pete's tyres show he's already had his off-track excursion. At the end of the day, the Yokies looked they had been softened up a bit. This is the left front, which would probably have done the most work out there. All in all a fantastic weekend, though it did start off a bit nervously. Late Thursday night I borrowed and fitted Wykked's original Z driver's seat, just in case mine didn't get passed in scrutineering. After getting under way on Friday morning I realised the seat belt stalk had been removed! First job at Goulburn was to swap the passenger seat stalk onto the driver's seat. Even though my Z isn't up to the standard of the others (one day, he says), it went into the concourse to make the others look good :thumbsup:. Spent the day admiring a stack of Zeds - and counted a total of 49 over the weekend. That takes the record away from last year's Gilgandra meet - although we didn't get all 49 into 1 place like we did at Gil. Track day, and I had to pass on the hillclimb courtesy of a busted first gear - lots of dog teeth came out with the gearbox oil after the last drag day. Dammit, cos there were a couple of nice 180° hairpins that my box would have snicked nicely into first for (wonders why first gear is broken :wacko: ). Did pretty well in the regularity (about 14th out of 80+), with 1 bad lap where someone spun in front of me. The new front pads that were recommended to me were crap, I had clouds of black dust under braking, a spongy pedal, and not a greay deal of retardation - and this was at only 80% pace ... so during the lunch break I fitted a set of older race pads kindly lent to me by Wykked. From now on, race pads only on track days! JP, you could had a sale if the wagon had been stocked! With the supersprints under way I started off with 1:22's in the first session, got down to a 1:19 in the second, and my last lap of the day was my best with a 1:18:52. Not the fastest TT (well done JP and JT), and yes AZA's NA was faster, but a great day. I'm pretty rapt given the stock brakes, road rubber, and mild boost. Now for some bigger brakes (Stoptechs???? - they look the goods), some D01J's or similar in 17/18's, and turn the wick up to 15lb - and hopefully I can get a bit closer to the leading group. Looking forward to Sandown/Calder/Phillip Island/Winton - whatever is next, bring it on! Oh yeah, and bring a first gear on too! Finally thanks to Troy (Lowy) for the pics he's been sending me - I've used 1 for a new sig :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: Cheers, RZM.
