Sounds kind of OK... Maybe I'll be there... WITH BIG BRASS BELLS ON!!!!!!!!!!

 

Wouldn't miss it for quids. :) :) :) :)

[Tim Tyler 2]

Oh yeah. I forgot to mention. I just have to be there for the chance to try and beat Shane. When you can compete against the premier model car racer in Australia on the premier track in Australia, you just have to do it. I might fail, but it's the ultimate challenge.

All teams are filled now for this 2015 scaleauto endurance championships now.

 

The only chance of a drive now is if any drivers pull out............and if the team wants you to replace the driver.

Hi Guys,

 

This should be another great enduro and I am sure everyone is looking forward to it.

 

Cheers,

While shane and garry's teams fight out the battle of the big guns, i will watch with great interest, the thunderbirds club racers fight it amongst themselves. they have a lot of good talent spread out over 4 equal teams. this is gonna be a good race.

[axman 24]

Yep, I agree JP. We should all band together, My strategy is simple. When Phoenix and NSR order a burger at the counter we substitute the beef pattie with a hash cake and watch them happily crash out of the race. They will really enjoy themselves.. and so will we. Heh Heh

[jphanna 22]

Axman, People need to appreciate how lucky we are, to have you as one of our leaders of our beloved hobby. talented track builder, comedian, and all round nice guy. will be good to see you again. bring your HASH burger recipe.

Hi John

Just remember that the Dream team at the Model Nats didn't win the Slotworx Endruo

every team has One Car, Four Drivers Anything can Happen

[BigMick 5]

Two of those Hash burgers please!!

Hope they last for 8 hours, I might need three

Be careful what you wish for. There is at least one driver i know in one of those teams that drives very well after a choof. Teams are filled now but if someone pulls out let me know.

[axman 24]

Sorry guys, I'm out. I have been on the waiting list for a long overdue knee operation and it clashes with the week of the race.

I'm sure with the calibre of racers you guys have this is probably an advantage to the team I was racing with.

Have a great race weekend.

[Guest jazzbell]

Kim we could have organised a Zimmer frame,even the model with the seat. We even have disabled car parks and you know the venue has wheel chair access everywhere

 

Not long now only a few weeks to go. Looking forward to the event and catching up with everyone again. Haven't had a race since the MCN so I'm itching for a drive now can't wait.

Looking forward to it see everyone there

No Mick it was a 6.3 that Shane did in the end.

[Springbok Racer 7]

Hi Ray and Mick,

 

Just had a look at the final results post for the 2014 event and Shane stated in that, that Team NSR TQ'd with a 5.7 - so why is he so slow this year.....LOL

 

Have fun boys, it will be another humdinger of an event!!

 

Cheers,

 

Jan

[BigMick 5]

That was a typo Jan NSR TQ with 6.7 hang on a a second you were there you bloody joker!!!!!!!

The only car I have ever seen in the 5s was one of your LMPs mate driven by Shane I must admit but I dont think I have ever seen anyone else get a scale auto down under 6.7 except Ray the other day with the car we are driving on Saturday Ray???????

Mick

[Guest jazzbell]

I'll tell you why I'm so slow!!

 

It's called lots and lots of testing. The difference between my testing is that I drive stop,change something,drive stop,change something.

Over and over again. When I watch others, it's just lap after lap after lap without touching a thing on there cars other than put some s#!t on tyres and off they go.

 

I can say I hardly ever put a car on the track before any changes. I haven't been to the club or touched a car for 3 months. But the lead up to this event I've been there 3 weeks straight with every opportunity I get. As for the rest I've seen 3 people.

Kim

 

You'll be right Kim,

 

I had mine done last week, total knee replacement, now at home already walking around without the stick, I'll be a little while doddering around , just want to get downstairs to work on a few cars to take my mind off things,

 

Terry

[Springbok Racer 7]

Hi Shane,

 

So the rest of us can expect you to get slower and slower then....LOL

 

Looking forward to see how the TQ goes in 2015.

6.3s with a scale auto is slow!!!!!!!

I had a wet dream the other night about a 6.3 lap and at my age it was quite the achievement

Lot of tuning with our team car is going on but mainly at home lots of tweeks over the week end will see if they make the car faster or slower on Friday night.

 

Did hear the Bill J's car did a 6.5 mine was good for 6.6 but with old shot tyres. A lot will depend on the hand out motor.
