Hi all, if you`re interested & are on facepoop
click onto my page (Matthew Read) & have a gork at the in-car video footage of my last lap of Wondai street sprints :-)
i ended up 3rd place outright, 1st in class, wicked fun, great weekend
for my first time there i`m pretty choofed, altho i will get my gearing a bit taller for the next time there as i was going for 7th gear quite a few times throughout the weekend :-)
approx 20 people crashed & quite hard i might add, a few got taken to hospital & written-off cars, nastey... but we stayed on the black stuff (sort-of) & did ok.
cheers all, next meeting is Mt Cotton Hillclimb (i think) in a couple of weeks,,, & then Oakey Sprints another couple of weeks, then Noosa Hillclimb another couple of weeks after that :-) full-on :-)
thanks for looking, Stay tuned :-)

Oh & all mini running gear, brakes, suspension control arms, trailing arms, master cyls, mini front subframe (modified for the yamaha motor of course, just with the coil-over shocks fitted instead of the donuts. & then my own designed & fabricated space-frame & a tiny little 3 litre fuel-tank & a wheeny little battery :-)
cheap as chips & we generally run top 5 outright wherever we go

2nd out right as a fairly new GTR Skyline R35 (i think) but i was just told he runs 670hp normally & then turns it up to 900hp for races , it just hooks-up & goes like stink, & i was only one sec from him

1st outright was a proper Reynard F4000 chassis with supercharged 4litre Lexus alloy quad-cam 32v V8, & 3 secs away from me,,,

but both of those have been there 3 years in a row,,, this was my first time there.
cheers
Matt
