The track was so slippery, I really miss not using slicks on the track.I got my official warning last night too, I can't go back till I have all the right gear fitted to my car.

Funny that they gave it to you though when you didn't break into 11's, isn't that the rule? Maybe 120mph is also the same trigger.11 runs!!! f*ck, the most I ever got was 5. I do get in late though.

With enough people it wouldn't be expensive & you don't need to worry about the 11 second rule. Failing that just put up some barriers on Roe Highway @ 1:00am BTW looks like the Nizpro forum has shut down. It's been dead for the last few months. Wonder if they'll become a sponsor here or if they are going to start it up again later. http://forums.nizpro.com.au/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest newl Guests Posted 10/03/11 03:36 AM Share Posted 10/03/11 03:36 AM Dont think so Newl, It been living at GG during the day since Ben sold it.Has it still got the red tint?Can't say as I noticed any red tint, no. At least nothing stood out on the rear window. I'll pay attention next time I see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you also had some runs that day with your street tyres.11 runs is good. Did anyone take any pics of pre start skids?TurboFG, from what I hear it is quite expensive to hire the track. Give Simon from Xtreme Ford Tuning a call as he has hired it a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo6FG Silver Donating Members 497 Member For: 14y 6m 23d Gender: Male Posted 10/03/11 04:06 AM Share Posted 10/03/11 04:06 AM They should change the rule to 10s instead, especially for new cars anyway. It's been in place for ages & cars are much safer now. Motor magazine did an article with a Porsche 911 turbo where they got booted because they ran into 10s stock & it had no roll cage etc. It's one of the best handling cars around - surely it couldn't be unsafe. I reckon ANDRA is a bit too nanny.Put bigger barriers up & if people want to crash & blow up it adds entertainment for the crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
