xr8 Posted August 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 Qualifying as follows guys at the Farm Fcc 6.591 Littlehales 6.680 Suttle 6.851 Manimal 6.871 Anthony 6.997 Davnic 7.011 Newso 7.016 Tazracer 7.048 Osbidith 7.103 Pmc356 7.197 Ronan 7.214 Lenny Broke 7.257 Gzminiz 7.291 Dan S 7.318 Hoffy 7.409 Mark D 7.415 Sports Racer 7.461 Xr8 7.563 Some cars are a bit loose in the rear and some cars a very noisy BUT all in all they are all great in different ways. I have enjoyed doing this so far as everybody has a different way of car set up and some work fine and some are difficult on my track. Favourite car to drive would be the Littlehales car as it comes out of corners very well. Whilst the FCC is fastest it isn't as nice to drive. All in all a educational day of qualifying. PS All cars qualified on the same lane. Quote RUBBINS RACING SO HARDEN UP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

first corner crash Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Good luck to all the drivers and have as much fun as humanly possible. Great to see Ians (suttle)car qualify so well. It was my favourite car handling wise when i drove it at six pines it just needed a few more herbs. First of the non ortmann shod cars and has a slow motor so goes to show that a great neutral handling car can be really pushed. Quote 4x national champion 6x national runner up.

xr8 Posted August 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 (edited) Sorry its taken me till sunday to put the scores up but I haven't had a day off in the last 12 and I have a another 9 to go till a day off. Great night and lots of laughs and all cars have been blown out with airgun and lightly oiled and packed ready to go to the next round. A couple of surprises on a twisty sort of track. We all liked Suttles car and if it had the grunt of FCCs car, watch out. This was the best car to drive and we all fought over it to drive. FCC 105.8 MANIMAL 103.2 SUTTLE 102.7 LITTLEHALES 101.5 NEWSO 100.7 HOFFY 99.8 GIMINIZ 99.3 RONAN 98.6 OBSIDITH 98.2 MARK D 97.8 DAVINIC 97.4 ANTHONY 97.0 L.BROKE 96.7 TAZRACER 96.2 DAN S 95.8 PMC356 95.3 SPORTS RACER 94.6 XR8 93.1 Run and won and a couple of surprises on a twisty track and it was a lot of fun to do. Dale And thanks to the guys that gave up there time to come and help on the night Edited August 15, 2010 by xr8 Quote RUBBINS RACING SO HARDEN UP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Thanks for the run Dale,and for all the guys who helped out on the night. Again FCC's car is too good but the fight for the placings down the list a bit is very tight,I think a few points seperates 4 cars,no podiums in store for those cars ,but interesting to see if many spots will change,especially now as we are getting close to the end of this series. 5th for me,got to be happy with that,although when you made comment about the sweetest car to drive,you may have mistaken my car for Suttles',both Ninco Acuras' and in the same colour scheme,his is a great car to drive,here at my place it was the sweetest car to drive. Bring on the next round! Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gzminiz Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 I am thrilled to be in the upper half of the pack! Rounds are running smoothly and we are far ahead of schedule. Lesson learned so far, allow for more time on shipping to tassie, not as much needed for others. hehe. will post up standings shortly. (maybe tomorrow, i will try asap) Quote The Duke - 2nd Routed Track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xr8 Posted August 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Hey Terry,yep I checked the box and it is suttles car and ooops I seem to have misplaced it hehehe Dale Quote RUBBINS RACING SO HARDEN UP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antony Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Thanks to XR8 and all who helped in running the round. Congratulations as always to the podium, FCC, Manimmal and Suttle. My car in this series seems to qualify well then drop back in the race. Must figure out a way to build in some consistency in future. Thanks again to all involved.

xr8 Posted August 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Anthony your car is ok but after some laps the tyres go off, so dont be too hard on yourself as these cars by round 7 have done some laps. Always next year. XR8. Quote RUBBINS RACING SO HARDEN UP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antony Posted August 18, 2010 Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Anthony your car is ok but after some laps the tyres go off Thanks XR8, I think the car's problems are predominantly tyre issues. I had intended to fit Ortmanns but somehow or other, don't ask me how, I sent the car off with a set of Ninco tyres on. When I get the car back it will be interesting to fit some Ortmanns and see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
first corner crash Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Thanks for the run and nice to see the car go well on a twisty track. I really thought it might be a bit too much on a technical layout. Nice that Chris's car has had its mechanical issues resolved and is again in the mix. I love the scaleautos and have recently got me a radical so the speeed quest continues. Good luck to all next round. Cheers Trevor. Quote 4x national champion 6x national runner up.
