Post by: Shane Finn on October 11, 2014, 10:44:42 AM: Do any club members have a car trailer in north/west Sydney I may be able to hire or borrow please to trailer my Vette to the event. I hope to pick the trailer up the Friday/Saturday 1st November and would return it the Monday at times that suit you.

I have a couple of fall back options if none are available in club. All help is appreciated.

For those who are travelling down on Saturday, and joining the Saturday night festivities at Trappers Motel, a convoy of us will be leaving from the 7/11 at Pheasants Nest (previously Mobil truck stop) at 1.00 PM sharp Saturday afternoon. Please phone me for any further info.

Title: Re: Nov 2 Leadfoot Challenge # CE080 Now with pics
Post by: VETTENUT on October 26, 2014, 10:23:56 AM: We have 9 entries from NSW. Gary N 2001 Z06, Shane F 2001 Z06, Colin C 1969 427, Nathan S 1973, Brian B 2002 Z06, Ray S 1981 stroker, Russell B 2006,
Steve R 1973, Bob F 197? C3. Also Ken G Datsun 260Z and Tony C Mini Cooper.
There are 8 entrants from Vic with 2 'Vettes and the rest in commodores, Lotus and westfield clubman.
Four entries from ACT, 3 C4's and 1 commodore. The promise of some quick C5's and C6's from Canberra, including some dedicated racecars has not eventuated yet.??!!?? :bolt:

For lap times to be considered for the Leadfoot Challenge, they must be recorded by a Corvette on DOT tyres, that is either road radials or R-spec competition tyres. The fastest time of the day for a Corvette can be run on any tyre including slicks, but those intending to have a crack at this must let me know when they are changing tyres so we can accredit the times to the correct tyre.

Looking forward to our NSW team kicking some :kickass: :nutkick: :rol: :rol:

Hey Raymond I see they will be using a calendar to record your lap times. I have organised pensioner parking for you its close to the track you old fart.
Is it true that you are the only person in track day history that has to clean his rear windscreen because the bugs crash into it because you drive so slow?

HSV ran the day perfectly and i think there members have a lot more respect for our Corvettes after this weekend. Bfit showed lots of restraint at the bar and on the track . Boshie had a tops day was fast and furious ( and didnt brake anything, well done MY FRIEND ) vetteobsesses nominated a lap time 3 weeks before the weekend and on the day did exactly that time that was impressive .Best of all everbody had a great time and took there cars home in one piece.

Its time to do some engine work and lighten the car now and keep up down the straights, doing a 1:04.8 with a stockish engine (only a cam shaft upgrade) was very happy and beating Boschvette by .08 to take fastest C5 made it even better

I agree. Notice how Ray got off the brakes to stop the slide? I didn't notice at the time but many would have stayed on the brake and kept sliding.
