Sdma Hillclimb 29th July

[Toddski]

Hi All,

 

Next SDMA Hillclimb is 29th July - should be at least 2 RollaClub members racing. Come out and cheer us on - or better yet, enter and compete.

 

The hillclimb track is at Fairbairn Park on Sutton Rd. Kicks off about 9:30am and finishes about 3:00pm. Details on the SDMA site: http://www.sdmahillclimb.com/

 

I'll be there testing out my newly installed (by ACT RollaClub team) front sway bar - look for the white AE82 Twin Cam with RollaClub & Specialised Trailers stickers. The Thomo Tailout special should be finally getting a run too - promises to be spectacular. We won't mention that a certain AE71 won't be appearing - some lame excuses I bet about being busy and having a family... :wink: Maybe the next meeting will have to be dedicated to getting it ready.

 

Cheers,

Todd

the tail out special is up, running, entered, and ready to be sacrificed to the gods of speed

 

stuck the trade plate on it and drove it round for a few days, no problems... till i punch it round corners :y: I'm so hurting myself sunday

 

had it out the other night for a test and tune (ok.. drift session) parked next to the police at the servo when they came looking for us, i love sleepers

 

 

I'm a bad man behind the wheel and if i don't get something else in my life soon I'm going to get in deep shit :D

Me thinks Thomo is a very happy man - and the Thomo Tailout Special lived up to it's name, but surprisingly only the once.

 

It was a bloody cold track so there was virtually no tyre grip which made life interesting.

 

Thomo managed a VERY BLOODY GOOD 56.20 as his best time for the day. For only his second meet, that is a bloody good time in a 1600cc NA car.

 

Admittedly I handed him his arse on a platter with a 56.01 in a FWD car - and dropped my personal best in that car by .32 of a second - but then again I've been flogging that car around the track almost every month for a year or so now. And that time was a surprise - got it mostly right for a change. New swaybar made a big difference - you can get a FWD to do good oversteer!

 

I'll gloat now, but next meet Thomo is going to cane my arse halfway into next year. If he isn't approaching the 54s I'll be bloody surprised.

 

'Twas a good fun day with heaps of friendly rivalry and Philba there to cheer us on.

Now I wanna see Brett out there, bit I wouldn't be surprised if I get out there before he does :n:

Come on then Phil, I will go out if you do :n:

 

I should be ready for the next one, going to start doing more work to the old bus on Thursday nights if you want to help.

[philba]

If your waiting for me to get out there before you do, you may have to wait a couple of months. I still have a few things on the car to do, and raise money for for things like license and membership fees etc. But I will definitely be out there soon

Can double enter the AE of death if you like :n:

[Toddski]

We'll have to pitch in and get the AE of death ready then as it'd be great to have more of you guys out there.

Thomo got some video footage which I'll have to come and grab and put up.

Hmm, the chance to thrash the crap out of someone else's car. Sounds good to me. Might have to make my way out to give a hand with fixing the car. Where is it, your place or in Hume? And when on Thursdays?

[thomo]

yes its rotting in my back yard, I'm here thurs nights, drinking coffee talking shit, if you can get brett to stay i'll help, you know i wont do it for you unless you pay, but i'll help for free

 

yes I'm a bastard :n:
