You sound very cut Glenn.......
'Cut'? As in drunk?!
No.
But until you're a "Doer" you'll be a "Gunna". And gunnas don't get much magazine coverage!
Glenn,wtf with the mag coverage,ive never ask for it.Ive acheived something you will never acheive Glenn and thats building a proper racecar(Doer)and been on a racetrack!..."Gunna" is a bloke like yourself that strive to put peoples acheivements below your own standards.
There was mention of magazine coverage - maybe in jest. I've made comment that the aim should be to get the car onto a track, not in a magazine. Sorry if I intepreted a post or thread the wrong way
You've built a 'proper' race car? Well, that's good. I look forward to seeing it on a proper race track. One day.

When you quote somebody, please make sure your comments are outside the quote area, its really hard to find what you are saying amid all the quotes. JVL, please come along to Valla and race then you will shut all these wallies up.
you better all stop bitching and get some quick VW's out to the track this year .
I want to see if any tintop comes close to the lap times my sports sedan was doing around Raleigh 2 years ago with a normally aspirated type-4 engine . Was 3 secs a lap quicker than any other tintop back then and also 2 years prior to that .........
Just get out and have a go and have fun..........

Maybe I miss the point of racing - isn't racing all about having fun (unless you do it for a job)? Remember there are always a lot of "lurkers" watching in on these types of threads - I can't say it creates a supportive atmosphere for newbies wanting to give it a go.
I won't be there; unfortunately I'm double booked:
There's a Porsche Club NSW Supersprint at Oran Park on Saturday.
Good luck to all those racing.

I thought tye Yokohama ute racing at Philip Island clashed too but it doesn't. It clashes with the next PCNSW round on 20th August. What a mongrel month.
There will be a few of us from Newcastle including some mums having some fun - one in an open wheeler and me in the orange beetle - trying to beat my husband.
well, there was plenty of angry driving up the road from Valla today. the feild was turning over at a rapid pace, with a sighting lap and six timed laps for each competitor, squeezed in over a three hour period, WITH a 3/4 hour lunch break!
just some teaser shots for now, i literally had my hands full after the flag dropped, so sorry, no action shots yet.
a sample of the field....
and the all important times!!! ( yes Craig proper beam timing:P ....normal start line position, with the finish beam at the top of the hill before the tight downhill section that leads back to the former start finish line)
Occasionally down here in grubby Wollongong, the Kembla Grange Kart track has a corporate relay day. Not sure exactly how it works but I think you have teams of drivers all doing stints in the car for certain periods of time.
This would be a blast. You could have a hellbug team, a durie team a pobjoy team, old and bold, young and dumb, queer and no fear..... any teams you want. Not sure when in the weekend you could fit it in, but I'd most definitely be up for it.
Thanks to the VRA and the track officials for there effort on both days in running the even as smooth as it was. Thanks to the MC for his sometimes colourful comemtary i have only now found out what he was saying after watching the video back 🙂 .
Will post up a few pics soon once i sort them out.
