Well, after seeing these great pics and hearing all the stories, bugger it... count me in for the next one!
Add another V8 to the champion team. I'll settle for the skid pan in the meantime.

jabba · 25-04-2006, 08:33 PM

I agrea with you both it is all about have fun and enjoying you machine first and kicking 6's butt second(or is it the other way around).... I am shaw every one gains from these meets as a driver and they get to know what the car can do....

Hey Ken, I will be the first to put my hand up to be a time keeper at the next round, providing I can still get out and run my timed laps(I have to keep the 6's honest,hey)...

By the way... I have been talking to Mike from Total Driver, now if anyone is interested
from the club (numbers pending) Mike will hold a club High performance drive training day at Lakeside (again pending the venue will be running, we all will know in about 2 weeks).......if it goes ahead he is going to arange it for XR Club members only (again pending numbers)

By the way after our win I think the club should change it's name to the XR8 and xr6 club in light of our proven superiority.

Close, I think this is how it should look
XR8 and XR6 club of QLD

vegabass · 25-04-2006, 08:56 PM

Jabba Im sure the extra 2 pots are compensating for lack of displacement in other areas!

:

I had fun, and me thinks (ali g style) by december I might be in a different car to the quick EL. Might be in a AU might be in a BA but I might be in a BMW.

Can we hire this timing equipment? Im sure with Herrod Motorsport as a event sponsor they will be able to help out with connections and the cost of this equipment. just a thought.

Come on 6's we all know we have the goods! lets just have some fun toying with the loud Henrys!

Jabba, (I love stiring you up) i think with you recent win and the size of you ego/head we should change the club name to Jabba & Others Club Of QLD

lightninGStrike FPV · 26-04-2006, 07:45 AM

Lakeside.
Driver training, I need all the help I can get. :nutsycuck
I'm in Jabba.

rob_liss_lms10 · 26-04-2006, 08:13 AM

I dont know if they would let me on the track because of the noise restriction?? but otherwise I'm sure Rob would love a go
How and when do they determine if your just tooooo loud? It not just you V8 boys who rumble like thunder! :eclipsee_
Liss

vegabass · 26-04-2006, 11:28 AM

Price for lakeside? I know pending numbers but maybe a ball park number?

My latest mod should be finished by then!

Penelope Pitstop · 26-04-2006, 11:35 AM

From previous experience I would say around the $100 mark give or take.

TotalDriver · 26-04-2006, 06:09 PM

G'day gang,

Re: Lakeside

We'll work closely together on this one as we get closer to the time.

Firstly, we have to win our tender to get the track permanently. That will be advised to us in May sometime.

As for noise restrictions, we'll have to adhere to what the EPA designate for the zoning. I can't quite remember what the db reading must be below, but it is measured using a db measuring thinggy, set a certain distance from the track.

Well, enough technical jargon - wish us luck with Lakeside, our plans for the area are nothing short of astounding!

Chat soon,

vegabass · 26-04-2006, 06:16 PM

I cant wait! keep us informed!

Bighitter · 26-04-2006, 06:37 PM

Morgan Park my first club meet 11 out of 10 bring on December.

Anyone with photos of white xr8 please post.

Jabba have got a dvd of the day if any one is intrested please contact me.

Dvd is not done professionaly but it will do till next time.

Thanks to all involved in Morgan Park.

Chat soon,

Are you going to be responsible for monitoring the noise levels ??

Or will you just have to take the council at their word that it is being exceded ??

bwhinnen · 26-04-2006, 07:54 PM

All photos are now up in their own gallery which can be found here.

Cheers

The photos leading up the that shot and the commentary between you two was great, made my day worth it as well

All depends on when the skid pan is, and if I can get a leave pass (or just bring Vicki and Braden along

)

Thanks all!

No, we have to provide our own measuring thinggy.

I guess it has to be available to them should they wish to come and inspect it.

JAS000 · 26-04-2006, 11:53 PM

Thanks For Great Photos. Morgan Park Was Fantastic. Cant Wait Till Lakeside Will Be A Good Day Count Me In

Is Any One Having Overheating Problems With Ba Xr8???

JC · 27-04-2006, 12:10 AM

Those cars all look great on the track, and the day was closer than the numbers suggest. If you take the average of the best lap time for each of the cars, the average for the 6s is 1:25, and the 8s are only 1 second faster at 1:24. Looks like a fun day was had by all.

The first Morgan Park my temp when through the roof,,, Thist time round I added Wetter Water to the coolant system. It help out a little, cost $28 a bottle, You only need one, add it to the exspansion tank. I also was told to run with the Heater on. I did not think it would do much. Boy, was I suprised when my car on the track was running at the same temp as it does on the road (1/4 on the gauge)

jabba · 27-04-2006, 05:47 AM

Thanks Brett,, Those Photo's are great.

lightninGStrike FPV · 27-04-2006, 08:06 AM

Brett, your a legend great photos.

Thanks for going to all the trouble and time you have spent getting them up on this site.

Can you PM me your bank details and I'll slip you a few for your efforts and get you to put on CD at hi res for me (if you still have them). I'll give you list of file numbers.

Cheers,

Heath.
