I only did a few little things to help out too. No hiccups either;

No hiccups?

What do we call a litre of engine oil and another litre of water on my garage floor along with about 3 lires of fuel spilt in the boot then Mr Helper?

Makka helped put the bonnet on, that took about 10mins, then we talked shit about cars, trucks and sheilas for a couple of hours.

[Heath]

Pfffft they are your fault; you're the one who asked me to do those things!

[micklx]

Seriously Mick, I think you will be in deep trouble next time we meet on the track.
I'm calling the new cam "The Mick seeker"

I've been trying to reply to this post for the last few days, but every time I read it I erupt into uncontrollable laughter, the first time I had tears streaming down my face and it took me half an hour for my eyesight to return to normal. That has got to be one of the funniest things I've ever read Hahahahaha,

Car went well today, went better after a bit of a "tickle up".
Best posted lap time was 1:40:18 or there abouts, which is down a couple of 10ths.
More lap times to come though.
Needs tyres and more front camber, but I've finally got Dandenong Rd complex sussed.

Makka came out on the sighting laps, I think he enjoyed it, but he couldn't find a brake pedal on the passenger side.

Update:
Fastest lap was in the practice session, 1:39:67
Fastest lap in the timed sessions was 1:40:21

New cam, lightened flywheel and the car is slower?
But the driver is older too.

Any more outings this year Rob ?

Looking at 23rd Nov. at Calder.
Hoping to get the 225's on by then and also the lower control arm mod done.

The only other sprint left is 29 + 30th at P.I. I think?

[micklx]

You'll have to come and do a Hillclimb one day.
Last one for the year is Sat Dec 6th.

[Heath]

I agree with Mick on this one

[micklx]

Yes, and with the 'Mick Seeker' cam, anything is possible......

[rodomo]

Update:
Off to Calder tomorrow (Sunday)
I haven't been there before and the track is clockwise, opposite to Sandown.

Bigger wheels and tyres are now on the car, better suited to it's weight hopefully.

I've had a fiddle with the jets in the Holley and also the power valve, I reckon this cam needs more fuel to get more horsepower out of LC69GTR's flywheel?

Also new brake pads all round.

Pissing with rain here at the moment. Tippy toe, tippy toe

[rodomo]

Great day, no rain, no dramas.
Quickest Holden on the day!

[Litre8]

Any pics?

[rodomo]

No action pics but I did pick-up a camera mounting bracket from Melton after the day was finished, so maybe next time? ($120, e-bay)



I was in good company though.

[micklx]

Are they using the new track layout ?

[rodomo]

I dunno?
It was my first time there.
From what I remember (I was there the day that Lowndsey had his roll) they used to go right up to the top of the track.
Now that road is the run back to the pits.
We were turning right at the loop before that and running down the drag strip.

[LC69GTR]

Quickest Holden on the day!

Well done

[MRLXSS]

Have fun mate?

What was the day at Calder? How much did it cost etc?
