I'm not saying the 21 are slower, its punishing anyone who brought differently as the Roma 25 or the 28 wont make 7mins.
close but wont make 7mins....
You could use a smaller intake manifold restrictor, use less air and hence less fuel. Also ensure your car has good free roll, less wing, gear it a little longer and sacrifice low end acceleration by keeping mid corner speeds up. Drive it smoother and go easy on the trigger and you might get nearer to the mark.

A splash and go can be done in 6 seconds in and out, you'll just have to weigh up the options.

Just wondering if it's free to just come and watch for an hour or so?

Or do I have to buy tickets?

Great day of qualifying today!

Reminder: Q5 starts at 9:30am tomorrow (Sunday)

Each round takes approx 1.5 hrs to complete, meaning qualifying should finish by 12:30pm and hopefully lower finals to start by 1pm!

I really enjoyed the track, the guy's in my heat were awesome & getting faster as the meeting progressed lol

It was great to catch up with friends, wish I could be there Sunday but them's the breaks.

Thanks heaps to Gerrard, John & Jay (Walters Hobbies) for providing us with another great meeting.

Hope you all have a great race day Sunday.

Cheers Daz
