Who is racing on the 4th. Im about to do my entry form. Its been about 3 years since i raced.
I'LL BE RACING!!! It's been last year since I'd raced! They'll have to put me in the noob class.... lol!
Good to hear you'll be out Bobby!!! Look forward to seeing your car finally! I'll be the green civic getting smaller and smaller in your rear view mirror! haha!
Good good a familiar face. I'm try to get Paul (4orgd) out and my room mates s2000 out. Hopefully the weather is nice.
oh damn i'll definitly be out if you's are going out... someone take me passenger round the track XD
Been helping a mate of mine out on the weekend put a motor in his car, Should be a good surprise for people who go out and watch. 2 really loud civics.
thats not pauls ek your talking about is it??
i'm definitely coming now
I didnt say that.
i was just asking :p
i'm still coming out i wanna see your car go round QR
YOu going to be on semi's i'm guessing
Cancelled my entry for today. Judging by the amount of rain we've had, my car's going to need floaties to get through the dippers! It's the 3rd time this year I've cancelled going out because of weather!
Oh well... bring on May 23rd!
yeah i was gonna drive up and watch today but i dont think its worth the hour drive from the gold coast
i dropped in for a looksie, some very nice cars out today.
was a good afternoon.
damn shifter bolts :p
Yeah, had bad luck with the gayness shifter, made me forfit the 3rd session and get a tow to the pitts. Wasnt much water on the track, only cross over had water on it which ment some sweet civic drifting onto the main straight. 63 was the fastest i could manage, it was had to get a run without getting held up by traffic. Paul (4orgd) beat me by .4 with a low 63. Next time should be good, hopefully get put in a group with faster cars.
Alex, did you hear old mate in the xr8, he was like lucky your civic is turbo charged, thats the only reason you beat me down the straight. Then he realised it was NA and went red faced.
I did hear that, I had a little chuckle.
Both the civics looked the goods out there. You could hear everything Paul was doing with his feet the whole way around the track haha
geez that wouldnt have been a good sound!
Had alot of fun out there today even though the traffic and "QR pool" was slowing things down a little,made turn 6 into a drift comp..Bobby one that..aha
you won the fire bug, setting the grass on fire between 1-2 on you spin out, i left half my traction bars on turn 1 ripple strip. The traffic was the big let down. Its hard to put down some solid times when you are always getting held back. Normally its torana's.
haha puts a big grin on your face though when u pass them on the straight though..everyone on the pits.."wtf thats a civic"
Great seeing two well built cars out on the track!

It was great watching a greatly built fluro yellow eg 4 wheel lock up into the grass and set fire to it. Meanwhile the driver had the biggest smile on his face! classic.Quote:

you can cut ur times down alot with practise, 63 is a good time for a first time out there. i noticed u can slash alot of time using better lines around some corners. o well hope to see u out there for the may event to :D
blah missed paul out on track.
any photos/footage?
check his build thread
they would of went faster because the track was wet and a big puddle on turn 6Quote:

btw for the record the track itself was dry but the puddle in entry to turn 5 put water around turn 5 and 6, rest of the track was able to be done at full speed
just trying to point them in the right direction. would be good to see u guys out again in may dont see many hardcore hondas out there
HAHA :cool:Quote:

Your cars should be able to run the sub 60's if you set them up right :thumbsup:
End of the day I'm out to have fun,not sit down and study the track.my track lines were shithouse,my smile was big.
Circuit racing is more addictive then drag racing once you get into it ...Quote:

Ps. Constant sub 60's is enough to win Road 4 class at QR ...
Unless the Birkin drivers starts using S2000 engines :zip:
nah im not spending anymore coin on the car,got too may other things i want to achieve.
I saw it pointless to use all that track when i couldnt get good entry speed into turn 6, why look like im driving fast when im not. Im in the same mind as paul, Had a blast and not to concerened about times. Went out to enjoy what i / we had built and i believe that was achieved. Maybe over the next few sprints i will or even we will put more attention to driving lines and being a all round circuit dog but for now smiles and enjoyment.
LOL, I still haven't been able to use the full width of turn 6 either.
Even when drifting. nub cake T_T
And the bumps leading into turn 1 are messed up. I've been told to brake after them......:|
well i did say there was a puddle thereQuote:

anyway who cares they drive how they wanna drive
thanks for the advice aza
The track is insanely addictive, once you go, you will never turnbak, most fun you can have in yor car IMO :)
Its all about having fun. Well done guys.
Plenty of real estate on the exit of turn 6 to use ...Quote:

70mm exhaust?
I'm not sure, its the full toda racing one with a cat. But i did make a mistake, i had to change into 6th as i entered the straight to keep the noise down. Must have been the weather, because 3 weeks ago there was no problem.Quote:

anyone got some post quality points on offer?:D
Set a new PB in the Lakeside Street Sprints yesterday.
59.82s
Been trying to get sub 60s for a while now, time to aim for the 58s. Love the track!!!
That's getting down and dirty :D
Honda's seem to love Lakeside, I remember a silver EG that went there years ago use to get sideways going up the left hander to the hill; Hungries ?
hey guys new to site. hey tim thought i would throw my times up
91 green crx,b16a, slicks, 1.51 qr sprint track
is your time right there brendan?
Its called hungry because it catches cars/bikes/sidecars/karts from the high speed left before it.....not kidding. I was so lucky to come out with no damage. On that same day same corner 3 went home on trailers. It is a very unforgiving track, but at the same time, it is a very challenging and fun track. Looking at the 'track attack' comp they ran on sunday the same day as us, the fastest time was 63s. I'm sure the 'track attack' entrants have done better times.Quote:

hey brendan, what have you changed on your car. i haven't been out there since the first one this year when you had the slicks on it. give us some details.
hey gtrv like i said above it is a 91 model sir crx, b16a
the tyres are the second hand ones of the mini challenge cars. they are dunlop slicks215/45/17.
hey kyle how you been mate you need to get back out hondas are getting big out there. i have not done anything to the motor still using 2 litres of oil a race meet. just spent a lot of time on car set up with massive camber front and back.
also did a 65.60 clubman track.
Are the DUNLOP's you're using a full slick or a semi ?Quote:

yeah full slicks.
thanks speedcore
will my car get on the list.thanks
I think this needs to go to a general vote.Quote:

So given that, should full slick times be posted on the board ?
i thought i saw him in the top gear sprints??
Am i really reading this, at the top of the page on my computer it says i am on oz honda not queenslands raceways page. in saying that what does that have to do with putting my times on oz honda. Is there a problem with a shitty looking car doing his own thing while doing quick times on here.Quote:

eg5civic yeah you would of seen me there to.

I hope i have covered all the sprints events, personally i run semi's in all those events. Semi's work out at about 5-10% cheaper than slicks on average. The big thing is that you will probably only get 2 meets out of slicks, whereas semi's you will get somewhere between 4 - 7 meets.
In theory, slicks should be giving you a fair bit quicker time. Looking at the 2nd hand slicks that brenden uses, you can easily see why his times with new semis where almost the same. The rubber on the slicks was hard and shiny, totally stuffed, but they still had rubber left on them.
I guess as long as the tyre used should be recorded in the records. And i do think that it can be a good indicator of the diference in track time achieved by using slicks. Most cams events will not let you run full slicks unless you have a harness and a roll cage. AASA don't have the same ruling.
In the future, if i continue developing my DC5R, on some meets, I will be running full slicks. Fresh ones though. At this stage, there is no sense in running them as the camber is not correct to do so, the slicks would be wastes. Once the camber is sorted, then they will be used.
