Gatton and Fraser coast sprints

Post by OLD FART »

Entries are open for Gatton along with EOI's open for the Fraser Coast sprints .
Hope that there will be some other Starions to keep my JB company at the sprint events in 2012.

hey i've got about 150hp at the wheels less give me a break LOL

the gemini restores the horsepower equation..

i'm actually tending towards starion, but i'll buy some gun tyres for it this time so i can knock off that bloody focus XR5!! plus some A1RM's for the front so it doesnt lock the rear so easy..

LOL @oldie

A1RMs are phenomenal on the road.. a boost of confidence when braking.. so much so that it is startling when i jump into a "normal" car and it takes so much distance and so much effort to reduce speed!!

hahahahahahaha nice try Rad!

what cc's is your JB now? the Gemini's 2280 :P

i may have ANOTHER event to consider instead of Gatton, as Craig Neilson has been invited to run the Xerox shop group A car in the Australian GP support races, and i have the opportunity to crew for him..

Dave with Gemini with 2280cc weighing in at 900kg
Me with the JB with 2323cc """""""""""""""" 1260kg
I think you will need to have 4 passengers or 2 sumo wrestlers to equalise the weight to make it a fair match up , but bring it on anyway :D :beer

I had a 1800cc twin webbered Gemini gutted and caged before the Staz and I can tell you that it was way easier to drive on the limit or 11/10ths :)
