Hand timimg usually in use at Marulan (except for JMP) can help or hinder times also

True.......
I was using a lap timer and beacon

Denmeade can pedal too. He won his class at Pikes Peak.

He didnt do a 45 at MDT. He drove my car then raced out telling everyone he did a 1.10 with no timing. All based on a guess.
If he was finding driving lines at MDT like he did in my car at WP, Im suprised he managed to drive the car home and not have it removed from a sand bank..
He is passionate but requires lessons to be quick.

That would be the short track for that time at Winton.
Comparison: 1.31 at Winton (long) is around 1.04 at Wakefield and around mid to late 1.30's at EC (at a guess). Dont know about Marulan.
What did the Celica do at EC and Wakefield?


 
Went to see my mechanics today and asked them . Its the Long track at Winton they are 24's on the short track they are under 1 minute.
They are very fast and in 2 liter N/A

Sorry - I just can't see a NA SW20 being 2 seconds quicker than a GT4 at Marulan, and I can drive! 

and.... there is no way that a reasonably stock NA SW20 street car can do 1m12-13s at Wakefield 

 

Actually, 1.12-1.13 should be doable in a reasonably stock n/a. That's my hope anyway. I'm pretty sure Asimovy managed a 1.13 or 1.14 with only coilovers, lsd, wheels and federal rs-r. The best I've managed so far in my bathurst is a 1.15 flat on maxxis tyres front and bald federal ze912 tyres on the rear. I'm sure a pro could have punched a 1.14. I've now got coilovers and kumho ku36. I've also got a whiteline front anti-roll bar which I'll put in later. Hoping to net a 1.12 once I get used to the new setup. I'm sure if I stick Jeff Denmeade in the car he'll be able to pull a 1.12 flat. How close I'll be able to get to that is another story but that's what I'm aiming for.
 
I don't remember what time I was doing at MDTC but it would have been around the 50 sec mark. I remember I went a fraction slower than I did in my old Ford Focus.
 
Anyone keen to do an MDTC open day some time? Haven't been there for ages.

Here is a link to the lap records of Winton. http://www.wintonraceway.com.au/about/lap-records
You should ask for proof as it is almost inconceivable they managed those times.

I did a 1:14, with understeer issues. I took the front cusco coilovers apart and i could fully compress the damper with no effort at all then it would stay that way...
 
Brand new KW coilovers in the car now, hoping for an improvement on 1:14.

Thanks for the carrot to follow. Nice to search then find a little treasure.
Here is the car mentioned at Winton in its heyday, but not your regular trackday car. Its a seriously quick top running sports sedan from the golden era. Suprising how much TV they received back then..  One thing being, it would have been classed as over 2 litre being a (suspected) FJ20 turbo producing 700hp not under 2litre but this would have been the period of the AW11 sports sedan.  This is a brilliant race with comparisons made to the Sierra's so it must have been from this period.
