Round 9 Bat Florio


kalbfellp

Recommended Posts

The cars have arrived and the Raids and Historic cars have left Park Ferme for the transport stage to Bat Florio.

Two of the raids needed diff adjustment, Rusty's big Ford needed the diff shimmed as the mesh was starting to sound very rough, should be fine now.

AMCC Lancer was needed the rear diff replaced, with some teeth missing from the crown.

The Historic cars were in good shape only needing braids and tyres cleaning.

The WRC cars will start the transport after they are serviced.

Apparently the Ford 9" isn't tough enough for 'serious' racing...

lol.

 

Thanks for the tune up.

Hoping to finish in the top 3 at this stage for a clean sweep of podiums in Raid...

Hoping to finish above the bottom 3 in historics... Damn that Fly motor...

Put your glasses on Phil! That post was by Boss 302's Son!!

 

Track is clean, names are in computer, ready to go. Should get a couple of practise sessions done in the morning prior to arrival of heavy machinery for domestic duties..

 

There will be two 13 lap heats. Callan will do one round for each class and I will do the other.

 

Stand by.......

Here we go.....

 

Did 5 laps to check out the RAID cars this morning.

 

No a great deal between them at this stage and ink they will end up a little quicker

Team red is my favourite so far - handles undulations very well.

Shadow Rusty ute is the liveliest and it will get quicker.

Gas41 suffering from a slight lack of grip but I think I will get better as the track gets "rubbered" in.

 

All in all the cars were better than I thought.....

Just qualified the WRC cars.....

 

There are some seriously good cars in there.

 

Slo1 Subaru is unreal - very smooth and has set a new track record.

Big surprise to me was Ember's Celica. Great car which does everything right.

CharlesX Subaru is brilliant.It will be right there along with AMCC Peugeot. Knealer Peugeot also a standout.

Will post photos (when I work out how) and video clips over the next couple of days

I'm confused. The most common complaint about the VC Celica is 3 legged dog syndrome. Similarly with the JJJ RS200 and yet an occasional driver and track have loved them both. I can't help but wonder what I've done that's right or wrong. The Celica is running on the same chassis as it did a couple of years ago as the SlotCar MAG entry when it was just outside top 10. No complaints of marking territory then.

 

Thanks for the good qualifying positions with both my cars. Will be interesting to see what happens with the longer run.

Computers. They'll never catch on.

I don't know either Embs. Ask the driver and navigator. The car seems to be scaring the daylights out of them. Check their eyes :P:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Car%205_zpsc49ugduw.png

 

Sorry wrong class :ph34r:

Right class Mel. I didn't bother repainting the heads that I grabbed of some random guys in the parts bin.

Great video. Shows the track off well. Love the track BTW.

 

Callum can drive my Celica any day. Nice change to see it do well for a stage. Thanks.
