Queensland Raceway sprints Sat 1st April

FINALLY after 2 years of trying we have broken through the elusive Queensland Raceway sprint ciruit 60 second barrier with a best lap time of 59.84 for the day!! It took until the last run of the day to get there.

that time should be good enough for 1st or 2nd in Class on the day.

gotta love the Z!!! :zlove:

 

Excellent time Pete.

........there are only a very few going around under 60!!!Well Done.:thumbsup:That new engine of yours is showing it's stuff mate.

 

top stuff, pete ... well done .......!!! now mate .. fill we innocents in

regarding the class .. you are looking at first or second in class .. who/what are the other buggers who may try and nick the win .. thinking that we may need fate to do a "HIT" .. but seriously, what constitutes your class for this particular event ..???..

 

class details

class goes by engine capacity and existence of a turbo or supercharger.

so in my class, you have 3.0L turbos and V8s and anything bigger in engine capacity than that. they also separate road registered cars from un-registered cars.

today I was up against some Ford GT40s, RX7s, a couple of skylines, some falcodores, other randoms.

when the results are available on the queensland raceway web site i will post a link.

 

Well done mate. :thumbsup:

Go the silver bullet.
Bloody good steering Pete.
Was that time with your new brake system,
if not, you'd probably be in the 58's.

 

did the 59 without the stoptechs they will be going on next week.

 

*****WOW*******

.........that's even better:thumbsup: You are going to be a very hard man to catch mate I only hope that my Zed will be finished before I am too bloody old to drive it

 

Out of interest......

.........what boost were you running?

 

18psi

 

look forward to seeing you out on the track when yours is done

 

i'll have to come and have a look see one weekend...

i'm usually way too messy though, all weekend long... :s

 

Good stuff Pete well done.

 

yeah you'll have to skip a friday night outage on the 21st which is the

next round if you want to come and spectate. entry is free.

 

Concidering the 59 was on the last run

I think it was the extra weight reduction. For those not there you see pete lost his cat converter heat sheild on one of the last laps othe the second run. So perhaps the loss of about 1kg helped on the last run, Not likly:LOL::LOL:, well done.

 

Thats an excellent time

Not much around in your class that would touch that, good work. My best in the 260Z is 60 point something, a few of us S30 punters are going out to the next Wednesday sprints later this month.

 

thanks Richard, good luck when you head out on your next run

 

Well done Fleet

Where I couldn't taim my BEAST you surely had yours under the whip :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

 

Results are in >>>

going to be tough this year, having to fight it out with Ford GT40s and Cobras, gotta get those stoptechs on and will have to up the boost I reckon

picked up 10 points, fifth in class, full results here:

I wouldn't worry Pete

Your right in the ball park now and with better brakes it will make a lot of difference.
I was making up heaps of ground under brakes at OP on sunday, ( with the auto thats all you have to pull you up)
Running 324 Rotors, gts calipers and race brake pads and fluid,works a treat.
you should have an interesting series, with the competition you have there.:thumbsup:

 

thanks for the encouragement guys, still a few things we can do to

make her go faster, would love to be up there chasing those GT40s!

'zeds are boats' he he, jet boats maybe!
