xr6_prod Member 46 Member For: 19y 10m 25d Posted 22/02/05 11:26 AM Share Posted 22/02/05 11:26 AM If anybody on the forum is interested.This weekend (Feb 26/27) is round 1 of the Australian Motor Race Series at Wakefield Park.Top billing at this meeting is the Australian Production Car category. This is the former Procar production car category (Procar dispanded midway thru 2004).It features 3 XR6 Turbo falcons !! pited against VX SS Comodores, BA XR8, Honda S2000 amongst other.The category will be featured on SBS Speedweek, as well as Foxtel Inside speed.This category the origional production car category, and cars must be raced with minimal modification.For more information about the category please visit www.pcaa.com.auMy name is Nick Dunkley and I race the red number 12 XR6 turbo (see pic), for those that know Wakefield I will be located in the first row of carports. If the schedule permits I would be happy to met members of the forum and answer questions, so feel free to come up and introduce yourself.For those interested in the specifications of the car (No other mods allowed).2003 BA Mark 1 XR6 TurboMoTeC M800 ecuBilstien tripple adjustable shock absorbers (fast bump, slow bump, rebound)We are controlled to only run .6 bar of boostSpring rates to suit individual race tracksYokohama Road Legal control tyreMinimum weight 1735kgFor those of you wondering the brakes are 100% base model standard (apart from pad material), this means the brakes are required to do 18 laps of Wakefield Park in a 1 minute 10 sec lap time. Very character building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xr6_prod Member 46 Member For: 19y 10m 25d Posted 22/02/05 11:47 AM Author Share Posted 22/02/05 11:47 AM I will definitely post results to let people know how things pan out.I will also let people know the exact time of braodcasts in advance.As some of you have pointed ot Wakefield park definitely does not suit the large cars, however to make up for it we do 2 rounds at Eastern Creek and 1 at Phillip island - these tracks definitely do help the large cars - look forward to these later in the year. We also go to Mallala and Queensland raceway, these also suit the engine - however they are real hard on brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind lending a hand if you need a pit crew........or perhaps a spare driver hint hint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
