13th August Trackday

As promised.. here goes..

Weather was gud.. turnout was gud too.. the usual trackers... plus a few more..

Sad thing was..

THERE WERE NO BABES..!!

Babes were aplenty in the last outing... few of the guys were a bit wangi today.. wore nice shirts.. shave.. cologne stengah botol.. all hoping to tackle babes while their partners are out on track.. but sadly... there were none..

From our side, there were 2 Fiat Coupe 20VT.. AR 145, Wira Mivec RS, AR 147,.... and a special appearance... Fariqe in his Mitsuoka Zero 1... who tracked today..

The others who came.. dzul, ronek, syaelly, ellysya, jipeng, freemen, and few others who arent always online but come for tt..

Our crowd was the biggest there.. heehheh.. am sure everyone enjoyed themselves..

As for me.. for this trackday.. my trackday-prep include..
- MAF sensor cleaning
- ECU reset (disconnect battery for an hour)
- wheel alignment
- engine oil top up
- straight piping (no back box)
- berak dulu (driver lightening)

Nothing much really.. but i managed to shave off 2 sec of my previous best timed lap..

Its now.. 2 min 10 sec (normal street tyres)

Tyres were in a bad condition.. 'scars' from the previous track outing still visible on the tyre edges.. Car understeered a lot.. 2 tyres on the gravel on a couple of turns.. and almost lost control on the last corner.. all in the same lap.. hahaha.. and thats where i learnt its limit..
From then onwards.. managed to induce slides in most corners/turns.. and enjoyed it all the while.. hehehe.. but then again, there's only so much u can do with understeer and FF 4 wheel slides.. unlike FR cars.. and I ran on a little lower tyre pressure.. need more grip..
There were lots of seasoned track cars out there.. most of em practicing and tuning their cars for the upcoming merdeka race and johor race series.. busy track today.. and there were a couple of monkeys too on track.. really..! haha.. only casualty of the day was a bird.. hit my lower left side of the windscreen while it was flying upwards.. hahaha.. saw it rolled on the ground from my rear view mirror after it hit me.. err.. or i hit it..? ok after it hit me.. i'm no bird killer.. that bird commit suicide..
Tapaued one track car.. a proton saga.. bugger cant keep up with me.. went offline on few short straights to let him pass.. but the fella simply cant overtake.. so i just took him on.. played a couple of laps with him until he limped off track.. dunno wat happen maybe brake jam or telur tersepit..
Sat in Fariqe's Mitsuoka Zero 1 for about 4-5 laps... basket.. scary at first.. sit so low to the track.. but after the first lap.. ok edi.. took on one race prep EK until the car backed off and waved for us to pass by.. was fun tho.. and watching him control his car.. was all poetry in motion.. very precise and sharp.. late braking.. slow in fast out.. power out.. tail out.. heel and toe.. whooaahhh..! respect..!
and as promised.. gave taxi rides to the guys.. hope u guys had fun riding with me..
This will be the last track day for the current set of tyres on the car.. outer edges all gone now.. thanks to the mini race.. huhu..
All in all.. it was a whole lot of fun.. better than the last couple of times.. here's to more trackdays..! Enjoy the pics guys..

Event of The Day - A Mini 5 lap race
Look who starts first on the grid.. thats coz mine's the only stock standard road car.. others were all those race prepped track car... plus one half-road-half-track kit car - the zero 1..
My first real car race on track.. tho unofficial.. but still.. felt nervous and scared and excited all at the same time.. Not forgetting the guys cheering and shouting for me at the pits.. kudos to you guys..!

Finished 1st in Road Car Category.. ok ok.. 8th out of 8 cars.. last.. hahaah.. its 7 merdeka-race prepped track cars and 1 stock standard road car - me !
Half way down the first lap.. I was already last on track.. ahahah.. I think I bettered my lap time in this race but no one timed me.. coz i wasnt far off from the last track car in the first lap.. after the straights.. kena tinggal kaw kaw.. most of the cars were running on slicks anyways.. for me, I just wanna get the feel only.. for the fun of it.. syiok syiok running alone.. clear track.. tau tau saja finishing flag sudah wave.. and the cheers.. from the pits.. whoaahh.. cool..!!
Rasa macam menang race.. didnt get overlapped.. and didnt retire.. thats an achievement in its own right.. stock car againts seasoned trackers.. whaddaya expect? aint that bad rite..? rite? or is it? haha.. Ok.. was kidding.. there's no Road Car Category.. its an open challenge.. hehee..
