Jk_zeder Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Hey guys, So a bunch of us from the ZCCQ will be heading to Lakeside on the 15th of May for a midweek sprint. 15 of us have purchased our own group from QR so we can get out and have a bit of fun. Currently our group is full but if you would like to come up and drive you can still book a spot through QR directly for $135 + licence. (Let me know if you do as we may be able to get you in with the shared drivers in a second group) If you would like to just come up and say hi that would be great as well, I'd say most of us will be up there by 11ish but PM me for my number if you want something more confirmed. Those amateur photographers out there should come take some pics as it'll probably be awhile before this many Zs will be on the track at Lakeside for some time again. Quote
260DET Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Yeh, this will be good Get some incar video cameras going too blokes to post on YouTube, going to have two cameras on the Z. Use your phones, there are lap timing apps available. Quote
matty260z Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 What time will you guys be running til? I'll be coming back from Hervey Bay that day, might be able to get there by around 1 or 2pm. Quote
Jk_zeder Posted April 26, 2013 Author Posted April 26, 2013 We won't be done until about 4-4:30. Should work out well Quote
matty260z Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Ok great.... Well I'll come along for a couple of hours then Quote
be-zed Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 Sorry Lurch , But I have had to give up two of my runs to my Daughter. She got a taste of racing and wants time in a zed . See Dave R he has more zeds than you can count on one hand. Quote
dat2kman Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Anyone have a Zed I could hire? Uummmmmm ME! Quote
Jk_zeder Posted April 30, 2013 Author Posted April 30, 2013 Uummmmmm ME! 40k deposit should cover it... Haha Quote
d3c0y Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 I'm getting close to joining the shenanigans. Engine is in and car is driving, just need the brakes and diff done and i'll be able to join in! Quote
dat2kman Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Pm'd you El Lurcho! I have a cunning plan! Running a car in a QR arranged second group of 15 may not be easy to enter two drivers? Quote
Jk_zeder Posted April 30, 2013 Author Posted April 30, 2013 Give Dusty a call Jason, There are a few shared drivers running. Quote
be-zed Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 no last minute changes to our afternoon at Lakeside is there. Are we able to park as a group in the pits or will we be all over the place? Quote
260DET Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 Neville and I usually park up near the control tower, not so far to walk for time sheets and less passing traffic. Will probably park the truck and trailer outside near the entry. Rain rain go away Quote
matty260z Posted May 13, 2013 Posted May 13, 2013 I'll definitely be out there with the camera.. Come say hi if you see me Quote
matty260z Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Few photos from the Mini LapZ today, will post more once I get through them all. Quote
260DET Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Some good pics there Matt, hope you enjoyed the day. Quote
matty260z Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Yeah was a good afternoon, I didn't arrive until about 2pm - geez Nev is quick ..... Pity that 350z cut your run short. Quote
260DET Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Links to some edited incar action videos I took, might be better with the crappy sound off Quote
24 Dat Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Thanks for posting the photos Matty and the videos are great thanks Richard for putting up the links, Quote
d3c0y Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 Wow a couple of people having decent off-road excursions there! Why do you have the boxes around the bonnet vents Richard? Quote
dat2kman Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Wow a couple of people having decent off-road excursions there! Why do you have the boxes around the bonnet vents Richard? To create negative air pressure and scavenge air up and out through the fents. Only usefull if running a well fitted undertray that goes back to bellhousing. Yes few offs in that, but lap times dont indicate any desperation. Also some very odd lines. Must remember it is just a lapdash, no racing! Quote
260DET Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Wow a couple of people having decent off-road excursions there! Why do you have the boxes around the bonnet vents Richard? To cut a long story short, that vent design completely solved a serious overheating problem. Jason is partly right but an undertray is not essential although the car has one now. Vents also help clear heat when the car stops after doing some laps. Re the offs, it wars becuz I wars puttin pressuh on dem Quote
260DET Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 Link to Michael's off in run 4, very little damage to the 350Z and none to M From 2:00 on. Compare with my run #4 video. Quote
