Thoughts on Brute racing?

[edo]

lol, I like cycle guards!

I just dont like being that small, Ive only driven 2 (with 4age's) & they felt gutless & errr poxy

[BigMuz]

Karts are also not cars...I havent driven many but all those I did drive (2 250supercarts, 1 rotax & 1 clubman) left me knowing damn well I wanted nothing more to do with them.
I just didnt like it...

A few years back we seriously looked at buying a superkart with two 250 gp bike engines to try and win the Aus Hillclimb championship. Peter did Formula Ford for years and we were running the Formula Atlantic with a supercharged 2 litre cosworth. We arranged to drive the car and hired oran park for it. He did about three laps and came in and said "Nup, can't stand it."

I think they are an amazing weapon, but you have to be prepared to drive well beyond sensible in terms of vibration, getting airborne over bumps, and just sheer spasticness :D

Now I know why this car kept beating me - I had a 4.4 - he had a 4.6 - bastard!

That might be a good ratio for the Creek, but you reckon it would work at PI? Would have thought you'd hit the limiter by the end of the straight.

Try one with an SR20DET....

I reckon I'll run the Capri in sports sedans for a giggle every now & again

Drag it down to Tassie and run some "Targa Class" meetings in it, they'll let you run most anything :D
Oughtta be a good thing at Symmons plains...

So whats the problem?


:p I wouldn't imagine they would be much fun off a properly prepped circuit, but spasticness FTW

Bah all those series are pox compared to the mighty Mr Whippy Grand Prix. If only AIR would start up again, I've got my beddy van sorted and soft serve ready to rumble.

Been watching the late show laterly hahahaha classic stuff

Yes historics are changing and i think thats bad for the class IMHO.

Historics are not changing at all a "new" class is being started which is basically historic sports sedans and basically what improved production racing was back in the 60's/70's. You must sign onto at the start of the season for the whole season and turn upto all events (basically the same as what happens with the core group in the Biante series)

Na, Nb, and Nc will still exist for the state level guys and nothing is stopping them from signing upto the "new" class and series which allows a little more understanding in the rules than the old fart historic commision which expect historics to parade around in regularity "races". Parts are getting rare and just under engineered as nobody expected them to be used the way they are in historics (not just the Nc cars but the gearboxs in HQs etc)

Stooge you might think that but I cant possibly comment about a 350 shelby mustang.

I have to say that was a fuck up and stemmed from one bad ruling many moons ago by the current commision

[St00ge]

The Biante Series will no longer run to Historics regs - meaning more modifications (more $$) and advertising able to be run on the cars (strict no-no in Historics). I think the Biante will implode due to the massive costs of trying to stay competitive against the likes of Stubber and Co. Still, seeing those old Mustangs getting sideways gets the blood pumpin....

Apparently Stubber isn't racing next year in historics or soemthing plans to race in another catergory or perhaps he will be racing the torrie in the states more

And who is to say Biante will have the naming rights to the series next year

So this sort of coolness?

[F|sh]

thats the word i got from the historic racer here in the office.

yeah she also let me know the rule changes don't affect them at all. me so stupid.

[Nafe]

I heard Stubber will be building a new car for 2008 - and racing the Torrie in the US a lot more in 2007. Still plenty of big bucks cars other than Stubber's though.

[St00ge]

So this sort of coolness?

Cal.

narr, still look the way they do now, but more freedom under the skin to make the cars more reliable eg a standard replacement disc/caliper (everyone runs the corvett caliper anyway or the kelsey hayse big caliper from the lincons is really the only other choice) and HQs can run a 12 bolt vs the crappy aussie 10 bolt in them now which breaks every second weekend, I can remove rebuilt and refit a diff in under 30mins and other stuff along those lines.


There are a few new cars getting build by few of the regulars and some new blood

[dattoman1000]

Sports Sedans are the shit
