Ontheflipside Posted November 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 (edited) Well, a big day running stage one. There were some unlucky cars that were pushing for a top ten finish that suffered some unwarranted offs. But that is racing they say. Very disappointing when driving a good car and then it goes pear shape. eg: Car 22 (Reek455) Motor popped out, Car 84 (Ianjatwolves) Power intermittent halfway through, Car 8 (Jimmi) Clipped the wall at Hell Corner at high speed and ended up on the concrete floor under the track The series leader car 14 (Alexis) had an off 3/4 of the way through in between two marshals in a hard to reach spot cost 5 to 6 seconds and I didn't do the car any favors in trying to catch up. There is always tomorrow About 4 cars developed poor balance halfway through and keeping them in the slot was very difficult and there didn't appear to be an easy answer, and slowing up didn't help either. So here are the results from today - with thanks to Gazza and Devious Dave for marshaling. Still a long way to go and no doubt more cheers and tears to follow. No sub 30 sec laps today but we got close but track temp was only 22deg C. Stage 2 tomorrow after we have a look at some of the cars that are suffering a little. Gazza took heaps of pics so he will post when he gets a chance.

Highlander Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Mel & all, Thanks for the run, I hope it was fun - top40! Hope the Pig wasn't too much of a pig, though clearly not too fast. After this series, it's very nice for me to be off the bottom rung, even if only fleetingly I suspect. My sympathy to Rokrmat,Syd and IanJ... trust me, I know how it feels! The efforts by all involved are appreciated, lot of work for all of you but hopefully some fun too. Only 22C eh.... snow on the tops here.

There is always tomorrow It seems that even without it my car stood no chance.I expected as much since it raced on the roof.Where i live cars stand the correct way wheels down roof on top .Thanks for the run.

Graham Lane Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Just looked at what I thought was the results for SS2 and saw that I was way down in 55th place.

Ember Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Wow. Back toward the sharper end of things. Seems driver and co-pilot are happy to be back in the country. Congratulations Ben and Monte for the upper steps on the Stage. And 3 Mitsi team members in the top 4. What's not to like about that? Quote Computers. They'll never catch on.

Ember Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Oddly enough, the t-shirt was one of the first things that caught my eye too. Well... it is big and red and fairly near the middle of the picture. The Phoeno-mobile's not quite as pretty as it was when the tour started. Quote Computers. They'll never catch on.

Ontheflipside Posted November 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) Stage two was finished this evening with the help of Mohawk and Teamred. We are using Race Coordinator and it was set up to accumulate time in each of the three stages and unfortunately we cannot down load a spreadsheet until the third stage has finished so tonight I have been adding the scores to another spreadsheet manually (as last night) So if there are any errors ( I have double checked) they will be corrected at the completion of stage 3. Also Race Coordinator only displays the total time at 2 decimal places but is actually timing in 1000th of a second. So here are the results for stage 2 It's late here and I'm tired and have to be at work early this morning so more info tonight. Stage 3 Thursday - Sydney Australia time Reason for edit the above results have been corrected due to a couple of keying errors (late at night) I apologise for any tears Edited November 14, 2012 by Ontheflipside Quote I can't believe that I wanted to grow up Mount Salt Panorama Track Combined Road and Rally Track built near Salt Pan Creek Padstow - Sydney A quick build rally track 2017 WRP Round 11 at Mt Salt Panorama https://i128.photobu...zpss7sqiwfj.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slotcarmann Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) Phew, 9th but still clinging onto 4th overall in this round.... Need a special run and some podium points on the final stage to catch Embs though.... Still fastest lap to date, from Stage 1.... but 6 seconds down on Ben overall. Well done guys, one final stage to go...! Come on Team Mitsi...! Cheers Dave Edited November 12, 2012 by slotcarmann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Lane Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 19th! Not so good. Still, with Alexis only two places ahead of me I can't complain!
