Kirk I am glad you all had a good night it was a shame a few more didn't make it but we it was great anyway. I think we should do it again in the not to distant future. I think the driving was actually getting better as the night went on so it will be only a matter of time. I make a better mechanic than a driver :nice: If I had not had to go to work at 8 am my driving might have improved as well.

charlesx Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 Hi Syd. Had another look at your track. Had not noticed how you had done corners before but can certainly understand now. My brother was keen on this method originally but is now favouring CNC job if they can simulate layout we want. Good explanation however as to how you achieved. Hopefully I will get chance to see in flesh soon. Regards Chas Le Breton New Plymouth New Zealand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlesx Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Hi Syd. A big thanks for an interesting and pleasant evening at your home/track. Was interesting to see track surface. Certainly not unlike old blackboard paint surfaces from days gone past. Was not as rough a surface as I thought it would be. Good to see also how you had achieved elliptical corners. They looked great and made the track look so much more authentic. You were not kidding when you said you had a lot of cars. It was certainly good to try a few different types/makes that I have only seen on internet before. We are in Karratha now so thanks again for great evening. Appreciate being made so welcome plus of course our chat about a range of topics and tips. Look forward to passing onto my brother when I get back to NZ.

Syd Posted October 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Got to move with the times Dave and digital is a step forward.

aussieslotter Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 No more?

mattcrackers Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Hey Syd, we will have to take some pics of the track in its entirety when the re-opening night is on. Not that we will be able to get it all in one pic though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattcrackers Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Hi Rob, Not sure if you ever went to Daryl's place when you were over here in the West but the track is Daryl's with the two hairpins removed from the end of the main straight to allow for a more free flowing track. Syd's track is still the same, no changes. Good luck in finding somewhere else to race. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
