A wet Winton track day = hard work, but I have got POWER!

This should be the last track day of the year and proven to be interesting. The unusual severe rain cloud gathered over Benalla and provide an interesting experience on a race track that has the reputation of the lack of grip.

 

Today I was going through the data, comparing the run from Tampermotorsport days which is a dry track to this time in a wet track. Seriously, look at the acceleration of my car. Left graph is the little straight coming from turn 10, and the speed is 10 kph slower coming out of it and seriously, I am sure the throttle will be slower to get in on a very wet track, but still speed before I braked in the wet is only 2kph differnet from dry. Same goes to the main back straight. 13 kph to start and by the end of straight, 2.3 kph only!!!

The sleep of the acceleration increase so much. The only mod you can see is change of spark plug and my butt dyno told me the power is back. It is back!

DIY workshop

Last Saturday we held our first workshop and it was a complete success.

This is how it all started.
We started with a chilly morning.


Here was the sign welcome people to come in

 

They were already working on Kall's car


Craig's car was on display.



 
When people arrived, Andrew took the car (I mean rear brake) apart .
 


Iggy the cameraman!



.....while Evan dropped down notes (of how many things that Andrew did wrong j/k).


 

Real life drama!!!!!!

Andrew changing the rear brake pads

Andrew changing the front brake pads

There were deals behind the scene!

 

When we collected enough money to cover the damage (that Andrew did j/k ), the job was already done!

Then embedding begins!

 

Andrew's turn

The draining bit is so interesting

While he is waiting for his stuff to drain!
