Aussie RCR T70 capers

[flatchat(Chris)]

Damn, I knew somebody would ask that soon --and I feel sooo inadequate, that I haven't a Go Pro yet ( my Granpa driving style could be incriminating evidence tho ) :laugh:

 

[Pete McCluskey.]

Well done Chris, I fully intended to drive up to Morgan Park and say hello today, but 40 in the shade stopped me. Next time. Congrats again.

 

[Fran Hall RCR]

Well done mate...

Its nice for others to see that our cars are not just lookers..

Round 1 for the 2015 season last w'end -- qualified 3rd (mysteriously) and finished 5th --although 1st in class , no cigars this time from the big guns.
Good quality racing all weekend
Really happy with the way the car behaved --only draw back was the rear tyres were feeling their age much, much more than I

Rd 2 done --we mixed it with sports sedans and trans Am cars ( 70s Camaros) --12 lap rolling starts of 2 groups half track delay
The sports sedans and trans am cars took off first and then us , after 3 laps the sports sedans would lap us then 3 more laps and we lapped the trans Ams and so on
The T70 went really well , only one small incident at turn one due to cold fresh tyres --matched times to the Porsches and Corvette
One of the Porsches totalled itself --same one that was involved in my incident this time last year --it was returned to the pit , one body shell with motor and gearbox intact then separately 4 wheels ,doors, front guards and splitter, the driver was AOK thankfully.
On to Lakeside raceway in a couple weeks

Chris when i get my box you may want to try it out, Jerico 4 speed CR dog in a transaxle.
are coming to lakeside on the 28th june meet if so ill catch up with you there.

cheers John

 

[flatchat(Chris)]

Lakeside done --retired early due to failed CV --last lap of Saturdays events
The car loves this track as its fast and flowing but the driver was a bit of a chicken -- this time

 

[flatchat(Chris)]

CVs fixed --gear box rebuilt with new ratios for 3rd n 4th which seems to suit this combo just nicely and the local tracks
All tested OK
(930 Porsche trans 1-2 stock ratio, 3rd 1:1 and 4th .67 - diff 4.22:1)
Next track encounter in November

 

[John]

Hi Chris, I'm going to need your contact details mate. Can you PM them to me? Cheers

 

[flatchat(Chris)]

Great racing all weekend after the track dried out, the new ratios worked a treat --had to work hard for a measly 3rd ---all good

 

[flatchat(Chris)]

First race for the new season done
Car behaved faultlessly all weekend but no podium from a couple Porsches and Mosler
Seems we need to invest in some wings / aero etc

Never mind aero just change the colour and all will be good. With the benefit of hindsight if I were you I would've just bought a ride in a Porsche cup car-- you know, arrive n drive , no hassles, and its already flush with working aero. If you cant beat em join em. But where's the fun in that Mrs Flatchat.

There's an echo in the room!!! :thumbsup:

 

[flatchat(Chris)]

Cheeky bugger-- shouldn't you be home making babies or something
---- at least my pension funded hobbie IS out there:laugh:

 

[flatchat(Chris)]

She's still performing reliable well -- a one dayer at the infamous Lakeside a couple of weeks ago --- still a bit nervous about 10 tenths at this track
Morgan Park just gone, managed a second (1st loser) to the mighty Mosler

Seen basking in the warm sun of a cold autumns day

 

[Dave]

Well done and the car still looks great. Need more pics of this car in action.

 

[flatchat(Chris)]

A big weekend at QR 11-12/6/16 "2 Days of Thunder" should be a good test for the T70 and all the other big powerfull fast cars
Also a debut for TA2 --modern Trans Am
Live streaming from Queensland Raceway -- somewhere in here I think https://livestream.com/qldraceways

Why is this thread called Aussie capers ?? There are no capers, Capparis or any other berries mentioned.
