2015-2016 McRae Motorsport Rallysprint Series

[ALEX.]

It's here again!

Rallysprints (http://www.rallysprints.com)
https://www.facebook.com/targawest

The first event in the 15/16 season starts in about three weeks with the standalone Mid-Year Rallysprint. Then the 5-round series kicks off later in the year and goes through early 2016.

If you don't know what the Rallysprint is, head to that website for full regs, maps and images of previous events. It's open to most motorcars (don't need a cage), NOT just caged tarmac-spec vehicles. So come and have some fun!

Some images from previous events can be found at McRae Rally Sprint 2013/14 Round 3 - Manolo MediaManolo Media (http://manolophotography.com.au/portfolios/mcrae-rally-sprint-round-3/)

[n1ghth4wk]

Might actually be able to make this season!

[Damo 69]

those concrete walls look scary, however will give it a crack new roster dependent.

[200MPH]

So, one week till the mid year rallysprint. Another day closer and still not looked at the car... But I'm in. Who else?

[Sensible]

Will be there helping GTI

Simon is shaking down the new Capri that has been built in the 7 weeks since TSW all ready for TW

[LostInTheWoods]

I just threw my entry in. Car should be much nicer to drive than the dog it was last year. Hopefully have enough tire left to last the 4 sessions.

[TJ]

Please no apendix/diff/etc issues!

[LostInTheWoods]

With the run of luck I've had, I'm not holding my breath for even starting. Hoping all the driveshafts remain in one piece. If it goes well, it should be competitive. But then mechanical luck has not been my forte.

[Buckets]

Burnouts !!!

[Not so swift]

Youre all going to have to come and introduce yourselves at Rallysprint cos I have no idea who half of you are! Other than Julian lol

[200MPH]

If the rain comes I'll be introducing myself to the concrete... Made a start on getting through the to-do list it at least tonight.

Phil, what's this about a new Capri for Simon?

[Sensible]

Totally new car, with rumour of protests going in at Targa West and at East Coast targas Simon decided to build a new car to the same spec as the Medickie car as that has competed multiple times without getting excluded

All the rush and hassle seems to be wasted now though as Targa on the East coast has canned the classic class and that is the reason Blaise sold the Moff

The old car was legal and had all the paperwork to prove it but he couldn't be assed dealing with all the drama again

The Blue and White car is going to be running NASCAR engine at all events from now on and the Orange car will be Targa spec

[Mike Hunt]

My subframe arrived from NZ today, car is booked in to have fitted and tune checked later this week.

However waiting on second seat to arrive from UK, plus still need to chop rear flares and arches to accommodate bigger tyres - reckon I'm just going to run out of time unfortunately..

[Lonewolf]

Keen to head down for photos, hopefully can get media access

[c.rusli]

Youre all going to have to come and introduce yourselves at Rallysprint cos I have no idea who half of you are! Other than Julian lol

I Felt left out..
thanks Neil :( LOL!

i'll be in this one for the afternoon rally sprint sesh.
testing out the car on the tighter course and see what to improve before round 1.

will be using the shagged tires, expect lots of noise and ain't moving no where :p


Keen to head down for photos, hopefully can get media access

Make sure you are in this time, might buy some photos of you Blake to send of to our livery partner ;)
we are revealing the new 2015 war paint! hahahaha.

[ALEX.]

Will be there.
Rain rain stay away!

[Buckets]

Rain rain stay away!

If it starts raining my car will be going straight on the truck home; not keen for rain at all.

[200MPH]

What, the fabled bucket mobile is entered! Wow. Missed seeing darkside's rx and so be nice to see another new build well tweaked version on track. Don't want to hear no rain excuses however. That be loser talk.

[huggy_b]

Hopefully he keeps LF's car away from concrete barriers and through the finishing gate without incident.

Lord help Buckets if he so much as scratches the LFXX.......haha.

[magic1]

If his permission slip is signed, I will be down to watch.

[Riggs]

Rain, hail or shine LFXX will run!

[huggy_b]

If his permission slip is signed, I will be down to watch.

Get your head distillers chair and handy cam ready, this one's a goer!

[DISTRBD]

If his permission slip is signed, I will be down to watch.

Have you got your slip signed ?

[Buckets]

If his permission slip is signed, I will be down to watch.


Get your head distillers chair and handy cam ready, this one's a goer!

How about you drag the whale out of the shed and come for a run Tris ? Huggy Snr can cover the $185 dollar entry fee so Huggy Jnr can sit in the silly seat for you.

http://www.rallysprints.com/entry-form


Rain, hail or shine LFXX will run!

I didn't stutter. Rain = Nope.

[Riggs]

Don't do this to me

[dtcng]

see you pingpingpingpings at scruitneering

[DJDINO]

100% chance of rain, skids ?

[siladee]

If it starts raining my car will be going straight on the truck home; not keen for rain at all.

If it rains hand Riggs the keys. He's fucking got this.

[Not so swift]

Latest forecast says all the rains going to be south of Mandurah. Changes every day.....

[200MPH]

Could be amusing if the below possibility happens - BOM Metro forecast:

"Cloudy. Very high (90%) chance of rain, most likely in the afternoon and evening. Heavy falls exceeding 60 mm possible in the southwest".

Kwinana Beach - kinda SouthWest Perth metro for mine. Oh well. May have to turn up in the morning as well to have some fun in the dry. Undecided. But get your quick runs in early on in the arvo is a solid plan I'd venture.

[Not so swift]

Start list is out. Doesnt look like we will be swapping for rides in the afternoon Julian:

15. Julian
16. Joseph Hall
17. Neil

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B13BfyHm4kpONHpsTndBbnN2UjQ/view?pli=1

[Damo 69]

not entering but will come down for a look to see the LFXX in person

[Not so swift]

What is this LFXX????

[Joe]

La Ferrari

[huggy_b]

What is this LFXX????
Bespoke.

[Sensible]

La Ferrari

Would have been cheaper

I know what LF charge per hour

[200MPH]

Yep, saw this. Will try get there in the morning for some swapsie fun.

Will also be working hard on bettering my ranking in the arvo!

[EVOVIIIMR]

200MPH If the rain comes I'll be introducing myself to the concrete... What happened.?

[Buckets]

Car rolled off the truck, toddled around popping and farting clouds of premix & E85 everywhere then got back on the truck in one piece.

I can't say I'll do it again in the FD but it was a fun arvo none the less and good to catch up with a few people I've not seen in a while. (I think I want a DC2R Integra for stuff like this, much less pingpingpingpingish things to play with)

Glad the damage was only superficial Julian and well done to Team Wog on 5th.

[Not so swift]

I took Julian for a ride in the Swift and in return I got a ride in the GT40.

OH. MY. GOD!!!!!! What an experience! The sound, the acceleration and the car control. Julian sure can drive. He had the back out on most corners and and showed amazing control to get that thing around the tight corners. Hats off to you Julian, great driving. Some people were saying they wouldn't pay $20.00 for a ride at Rallysprint. Hell, i would pay $100 for another run!

I was silly enough to think I might be able to stay with Julian and Joseph today, but I have a long way to go.

Well done to Mark Greenham who took out first place, Julian and Joseph Hall with class wins.

Not sure how long these links will last for:

[200MPH]

Win it or bin it they say... Why not have both I said!

Not gonna buff out.

3rd run of the day and only a bit damp, so was onto it after the previous wet run slowed us up a bit. Last corner and turned in a tiny bit too late, back stepped out and couldn't keep it off the tyre barriers. Hit it pretty hard, harder than it looks in the photos - will post video soon, but it does not show much apart from a slight tweak of the wheel on turn in (when I realized I missed my turn in point), slide and then we were a pinball basically. We bounced of tyres, spun around 270 degrees back off into the grass, kept it running and got back on track and across the line for a 2:27! Pity, looked like a pretty good run up till then and I think would have been quick enough for a podium placing for the day, maybe 2nd behind that Greenham speed freak! Managed 2nd quickest time of the day on our last run, which was surprising. Car obviously straight and I was angry enough to punish it for my stupidity the previous run. New front tyres are a good thing it turns out, a very good thing.

Looks not too bad, but the rear clip took a decent hit so will need a little realigning then some glass repairs. Need to rob a bank or something, cause that was an expensive mistake. Ah well, can't get away with pushing on every time I guess. There goes the rest of the year sadly.

Was a pretty busy day with such a short break between runs didn't get to see much. Seems like the pointy end of the field has slowed down a bit - targa compliant motors in the evo's I guess will do that. Which is fine with me! Good to see the bucket mobile Jon. I'd like to have a good look at it one day when I have time. Ah, the sounds and smell of a BPT rotor. Mmm, miss that bad!

Thanks heaps for the swapsie fun Neil. Really impressed by the stoppers and turn in on the Swift. Obviously deadly through the tight stuff and you did go close to knocking off the 6 seconds from the first run!

Also took Mandy (sorry Steph - blame your mum) for a run in the morning and got a bit silly. She was giggling and having too much fun so what's a guy to do apart from go sideways until grass was found?

[200MPH]

Skip to the end if you're just here for the carnage...


https://youtu.be/r9T3D--OWf0

[Lonewolf]

ah that explains the delay on the 3rd run - sorry to hear but clearly if you're pushing it can happen to anyone.

First time i've seen the GT40 in action, and sweet mother of god it looks and sounds good being driven in anger.

[JME]

Tough day at the office Julian. Sorry to see but if you're not rubbing you're not racing :-). Back bigger and better in no time.

The team wog evo made noticeable improvements today. Replaced springs to much softer targa specific rates has transformed the car. A little more dampening fine tuning required but confidence has increased. Bring on Targa West.

[SimonR32]

Skip to the end if you're just here for the carnage...


https://youtu.be/r9T3D--OWf0

Wow that was decent hit, glad you're OK. Nothing about this makes me keen to enter

[c.rusli]

Wow! That's a Close call! Alittle more then you might have totally bin the rear!

We didn't had a great day to start with and wasn't feeling the car at all today.

Issues with ecu map, tires not heating up and rears keep sliding away.

Awful day... oh well that's round 0 for.
Time to iron my issues out for round 1!

[Jmoore]

Thanks to Not So Swift for another round of ballast duties.

Well done to organisers on the day - probably the smoothest running rallysprint I have been to.

[Ghost Who Walks]

@200MPH,
You drive like a girl.
If you want driving lessons, let me know :-)

[Not so swift]

No worries Jason.

Sorry to see you hit the tyres Julian but glad it was nothing major and you're both ok. It was a big hit.

Looking forward to you getting the civic sorted out Chris. Great looking car.

[Darkside]

Sorry to see the hit Julian. After hearing it all and seeing the tyre wall leap off the ground, I was very surprised to see the car drive away, and better still have its final run. Seemed like a massive shunt. Car looked epic as always out there though. Hopefully it doesnt take too much to get it right again.

[200MPH]

@200MPH,
You drive like a girl.
If you want driving lessons, let me know :-)

Sure, you can coach me in the next rallysprint from the navigator seat of your XR5. Done deal.

[Not so swift]

I was very surprised to see the car drive away, and better still have its final run.

And the final run was his fastest! Don't know that I would have the skill (balls) to put in a fastest run after that hit! Well done on 6th outright and the class win, especially on those rear tyres!

[Joe]

5th Overall for Team Mario Brothers.. the car is just feeling quicker and quicker.

Looking forward to Targa in a few weeks!

[MGR]

Skip to the end if you're just here for the carnage...


https://youtu.be/r9T3D--OWf0

Well shit, that was a little more brutal than what the photos would suggest. :/ Bad luck mate. I too have played with that same tyre bundle in the past, albeit not quite as rough.


Car rolled off the truck, toddled around popping and farting clouds of premix & E85 everywhere then got back on the truck in one piece.

I can't say I'll do it again in the FD but it was a fun arvo none the less and good to catch up with a few people I've not seen in a while. (I think I want a DC2R Integra for stuff like this, much less pingpingpingpingish things to play with)

Was happy to see the threat of wheeling back onto the trailer was not carried though when the rain arrived for stage two.

Speaking of less pingpingpingpingish RallySprint vehicles I'll have a Evo 6.5 TME for sale very soon.
And a 2.3 stoker which has won most RallySprint events in the last three years.
Total cost probably less that you've spent on that roll cage.
Just sayin.

[Buckets]

I was very close to packing up and going home as I was also having brake issues (apparently rubbish enduro spec pads were to ultimately blame) and it was running far too rich (hense the popping, farting and gassing everyone out) but knew I'd never hear the end of it if I packed up and sulked off.

Props to Riggs for being mad enough to come for a ride especially when I said the brakes yolospec :p

These things don't ever get sorted with it sitting in the workshop.

You should be grateful of your shit mates peer pressuring you into seat time. :)

[200MPH]

Thanks fellas, it don't seem too bad now a couple of days later. Watching the video of the other in car camera pointing at us we got a decent sideways hit, but both of us didn't end up with sore necks or anything come Monday morning at work. So, my Simpson neck restraint didn't get to do it's thing, and I'm good with that! 6 point harnesses, neck restraints and full fire resistant gear seems a bit over the top sometimes, but it's such a fine line between going hard and losing it (for me at least) that I don't mind the 'try hard racer look' so much now.

Got brave and lifted rear clip on car tonight to have a decent look at what my momentary lapse of reason did. Turns out to be pretty much OK apart from tearing the right rear wheel arch vertically up about 7 inches. Whole rear clip has pivoted on the right rear hinge mount bracket, which explains why it's a bit out of line. If that comes up sweet by loosening bolts, realigning, then tightening, I'll be pretty relieved! Couple of other minor touch ups needed too plus of course paint, which I'll have to pay to get done as I can't even paint my name.

Talking to one of the guys who has same car as me who is a composites guru. Plan is for him to come take a look and see about sorting the glass damage, so making plans.

Pretty dark I made such a stupid mistake when the car was so competitive on the day. Ah well, pride cometh before a fall etc.

If you want a simple Honda screamer Buckets, wanna buy my daily civic? Suddenly decided I need cash. Guaranteed simplicity and 8400 RPM rev cut LOL's. But really, just drive your RX weapon. The world needs more eye watering alcohol and premix brap. Mine does at least...

Sorry to see Julian, but glad to hear you guys were ok and the damage isn't too bad.

It was only last year you were posting similar sentiments to me after I put the Focus over the kerb on the same corner. Bastard of a thing! Hehe

[urabus]

Black, Jdm.

Going to be hard hiding it from your missus though.

This is true but i need an office runaround. A 20 year old mitsubishi lancer seems responsible.

I want a red one though.

[200MPH]

So, time flies and round 1 starts tomorrow night. Entry list shows about 60 teams, bit down on the 80 maximum, but still plenty of action to be had. Who's in? I'm gonna go have a look see only, still licking my wounds from last round. Keen as maybe for January event however.

[monk_13]

In. First outing in the Evo for near on 12 months, so won't be pushing too hard. Or that's the plan at least.

[200MPH]

Tomorrow night people. I see Denver has the whale entered, plus a few other amusing devices out there to watch. Ate plenty of tyre last week in the rallycrosser so will stay away from them tomorrow. May stay well away unless my starter motor gets fixed today. Sigh...why do I leave things till the last minute to fix?

[SlamDunk]

Has been really low entry numbers each round so far this year.

[Turboesky]

Have got the escort entered. Been a couple of years since i have done one. Anything changed?

[200MPH]

67 or so entrants, so pretty decent numbers.

No real changes to note.

[Turboesky]

What an awesome night!! Car felt good. Need more lights can't see shit in the carpark section. Anybody have any links to photographer's that were there last night

[Denver]

Cmr photographic on stalk book usually take pics there.

Was a good night in the whale. Going to bite the bullet and setup launch control. Need more consistent starts.

Consistent on the times tho. As I'm trailing some different stuff in the way I drive in the tighter tracks.

[Saint_23]

Tim was down there last night.

https://tttmsp.smugmug.com/

[200MPH]

Yep, good to get back into it again last night. Hot enough however. I sucked pretty bad as was not feeling it. Also first event for new front pads and I hadn't bedded them in hard enough, much smell and general lack of retardation for first couple of runs, though my retard driving didn't help either.

Took all night to get down to a decent time, but still a couple seconds off Denver...so nice work from team spray tan whale.

My co-driver mentioned after the last run he couldn't see nothing heading to the keyhole round-a-bout and where did I know when to hit the picks...me telling him I just guessed it too may mean I need another deadweight for the deaths eat next round!

[ALEX.]

If everyone else gets scared I'll deadweight for you; as you know I'm not driving and I'm silly enough to do it.
Aside from a female I'm as light as they come.

[Denver]

Last run you where down to within a second so you must have been onto something there!

[Not so swift]

I will put my hand up for the Silly seat too Julian, if Alex cant make it :)

You looked quick out there too Julian, and the times were great. Well ahead of Simon.

Those gear changed Denver........pure porn!

[Denver]

It's only 16k to make it happen!

[Not so swift]

Thats twice what my cars worth!

[monk_13]

Sequential swift. You know you want to..

Wonder if these could be made to work

(Zero idea if those will work with your car, but hey, at least we know they're out there)

[SlamDunk]

Was a good night in the whale. Going to bite the bullet and setup launch control. Need more consistent starts.

.

Yes, quite some wheel spin at the start line. I'd say easily another 5/10 or a sec if get the launch control.

[Denver]

I'd go maybe 1 sec better, was proven between the last three runs, first run doesn't really count as the tyres where green, second run bogged, 2.33, third run a little wheel spin but 2.32 last run bogged again 2.33, I need a little wheel spin to get it on song quicker, but not so much that it blazes off the line, once its going I can pedal it easy enough to minimise fogging, just need to get the initial jump consistent, trying to hold the revs where I think its sweet doesn't work all the time, which is why ill set up launch to get it bang on for each start..

[Sensible]

It would be worthwhile to see if Tony can set up his 60 foot timing gear like he uses for the hillclimbs,

i was trying various things at the AHCC and could see it in the data that he provided

SQS sequential shifter is what I'll be putting on my dog box later in the year.. By all accounts they work well.

[monk_13]

SQS sequential shifter is what I'll be putting on my dog box later in the year.. By all accounts they work well.
Will definitely be keen to see how it goes. My box comes out soon, but I'm just replacing synchros and the clutch. Dog box will come much later. Cage and seat time are the priorities this year.

[ALEX.]

Launnnnnch controllllll !

I used to think launch control was just another way to take away that extra little skill from a driver. And of course technically it is. But after using it in the GC8, as you say Denver it just helps with the consistency – all you need to do is manage the clutch slip for different conditions, or event set different RPM limits for different tyre compounds.

[Denver]

Roll call for this weeks festivities

In!

[200MPH]

Yes. Team Sweatfest 40 is in. Sponsored by Old Spice...

[Darkside]

Waiting on paint to be finished :(

[3BEPKA]

In. The first proper event, hope I dont bin it :D

[JME]

Evo sold, GTR still in build. Have fun.

[200MPH]

BP - surely your paint would be dried and baked by then!

3BEPKA - if this is your first competition event, well it can bite. I know this. But go for it!

Jamie - Your M3 surely is a comfortable and climate controlled way to race?

[Darkside]

^^^^ It kind of grew arms and legs as these things do. 1974 body is always going to have some surprises lurking. Has had a thorough job done. Drying time is certainly not an issue. :) Primer and rubbed back by the end of the week and colour early next week and reassembly. Then maybe some other track time before we come tackle the concrete and kerbs :)

[Denver]

Yes. Team Sweatfest 40 is in. Sponsored by Old Spice...

Can't say I'm excited at the prospect of 40+ and no air con. Let alone a fan driving down there.

[Rb_sil]

will be there in the silly seat of the banana GTR trying to improve on our times

[ossie cossie]

what time does it start i would like to come down and spectate if i can.

[Rb_sil]

what time does it start i would like to come down and spectate if i can.

1st car on track about 6.30 i think from memory

[ossie cossie]

Isn't it still dark then :) what time does it go on till is it still 2 sessions morning and arvo?

[Saint_23]

Starts at 6:30 PM.
4 runs each, finishes about 10PM.

[ossie cossie]

OIC it's a evening event. Doh. :)

[200MPH]

Well, turned out to be a pretty decent night. Good field, not hot and we didn't bin it. Bit of mechanical carnage going on though. Car felt good and I was mostly happy with how I drove, apart from going slower in the dark. Bit of trash talking with Denver before kick-off worked when he lost a couple of gears early on. Otherwise would have been smashed by the Orange Whale again.

Tight field at the pointy end and also in my class, the GTi Capri getting damn close to knocking us off as they went faster in the dark.

That's me done for this season. Back for the Bunbury sprint in June, which should be a burster.

[Sensible]

Ross has given us the OK to run at Bunno so really looking forward to that,

It falls on the same day as the Speedevent series run at the RAC but most of us are doing Bunno so that should piss off a certain person :p

Great layout , glad I put the slotted rotors on the front of the mighty pootrol :D

[Denver]

Dog ring 1, other stuff 0.

Its done some damage. Luckily there's parts on the shelf just got to check a couple things before putting the order in.

Most annoying part of it all. Aside from it breaking on run 2. And not the last one. Or at all. I was about to change to lower dog rings due to age. Seems one beat me. Fuckers.

Seems karma got me for the trash talk.

[Shnoog]

I was wondering why you didn't do any runs. That sucks

[3BEPKA]

It was a good night, really enjoyed this kind of event. We had a few little dramas on the 1st and last run but overall great fun. Can't wait for next one. 200MPH is one mean machine, loved it.

[Denver]

Next round is tonight!

Whale has 6 forward gears again and will be there!

[200MPH]

Give us a report please. Watching online timing hurts, couldn't even make it there to watch this time! Edit: Nice work after 3 runs Denver! Looks like troubles for some at the pointy end also.

[Denver]

Took rwd over 2l out. Consistent 2:31 runs all night. Tried a balls out run only went a fraction better for a lot of really late that almost put me into something solid and now I have poo in my pants braking.

Will spat second to bits and blew a hole in the bottom of the box, morse had issues. Lister snapped a shaft and left his spares at home.

[Sensible]

Morse was fuel pressure/pump/filter issues

Will was running a box from the wrecker so to not damage is RS box for Targa duties

[Denver]

It's wrecked properly now.

[200MPH]

So entries are now open for Bunbury Rallysprint, 26th June. I post this only cause I've got my entry in already! This should sell out real fast methinks...
32 km total of Rallysprint over 8 runs in both directions.
Course looks great, but brakes will be toast pretty quickly I think as it looks very much like TW Malaga stage.
Will have to pace myself methinks and use 3rd gear in all the corners to keep my sideways habits and rear rubber under control. And accept that I can't beat the 4WD's, especially if not 100-% dry.
Above all: Must-not-crash!

Who's in?

Hey Fellas,

thought this might be the best place to ask. Thinking about taking the vee dub down for the next round of this. (Thursday 16th feb) Missus is away. Anyone interested in being ballast? :)

I'm happy to strap into death seat if needed BP. will try to get down for a look in any case, missed them all this season.

I'd be keen for a run or two. I'm heading down there anyway as well so I'll bring the safety gear just in case.

^^^ Mark, that would be great. Wont be anything too exciting as it will be the first time round in the car. Just keen to get some seat time. Would be great to get some tips from you.

[MGR]

Tips from me? Did you even see my last Rallysprint??

I'll see you there :)

[Darkside]

Hahahha,

Erm. Had overlooked that. But if anyone knows the fast way around there it's you. But also happy to take on board anything you learned from your last outing that might help me avoid the same outcome :).

Just don't have Steph in the nav seat and you will be fine.

Look at Marks record when he has done events without her, finishes and wins most of the time.

Put Steph in the car and it has mechanical dramas and doesn't finish events.

Simples really
