T2 MSW Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 (For info: a Supra owner called Baz used to promote the series on here quite a lot, as he was a co-organiser. I think he got bored of telling us about it and everntually stopped as no-one seemed that interested in taking part.) I recall Baz promoting it, I for 1 was never intrested as i did not have the car to do it in. Now can get abit more serious about doing some of this stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now can get abit more serious about doing some of this stuff Alex has posted a lot of good links that people will hopefully find useful and informative, I just didn't want them to go unoticed as it seemed the thread was starting to lead people down a totally uncessary train of through/set of actions.

Scooter Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 (edited) AlexM, what have you been up against in the over 1.6L naturally aspirated class and what seems to perform the best of them?

Kirk Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 leaving that aside for a minute, what have you been up against in the over 1.6L naturally aspirated class and what seems to perform the best of them? going off what he was telling me, stripped out type r's and tegs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 going off what he was telling me, stripped out type r's and tegs It will be intresting to see how a full weight supra fairs against some stripped out NA's. Ive never been out in Alex's car but I bet that does not hang about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 well bare in mind mine wont be totaly stripped! its a street/track car so some things remain behind. you will find me getting lapped constantly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 leaving that aside for a minute, what have you been up against in the over 1.6L naturally aspirated class and what seems to perform the best of them? Err... Celica.. Celica.. Celica.. another Celica.. and.. I think there might have been some more Celicas (though only 4 ended up being regulars). Jeff Lotts performed won five rounds in his Celica, with Craig taking one win in his V6 converted Celica. They were all running track tyres, with various stages of interior stripping, and.. I don't know a great deal about Celicas to say anything more on them. going off what he was telling me, stripped out type r's and tegs sorry alex i didnt ignor your posts on purpouse, i just can read so anything with more than 2 lines i bypass. Best scroll back up then, there's some videos up there. It's very unlikely you'll hit a tyre wall, or anything as solid (unless you or your car are.. pretty bad), but you will probably clip the odd cone.

Not so sure about that, that wall at Rockingham looks far too close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did clip the tyre wall on the other side of the track though. (Which was my own fault, I didn't want to brake). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveL Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Thats more like it guys, you don't have to do all of them so people who just want to try are welcome. I did one round in its first year and it was great fun. Everyone there was very friendly and helpfull, especially when I needed a hand and borrowed some tools! Alex has obviously had fun last year, and Baz has tried to get people interested in the past... lets make something of this and get a good group together to show supra's can go round corners!

T2 MSW Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 (edited) ... good man Paul, what do we do next to get the ball rolling on this?? All get signed up to the sprint series website I guess and register intrest in next year. That will be fun and take a while as its a nightmare of a site edit: This is a good start when trying to sign up, I seem to recall this is why I lost intrest the first time round Edited November 18, 2009 by T2 MSW (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Sign up for the forum rather than the website. I agree they're not the best, someone is apparently working on it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
