2004 – John White 1.11.2580 Registered Turbo Lexus 2005 – George V 1.06.3660 Race car aspirated 302 W I think 2006 – John White 1.07.4150 As above 2007 – OB1 1.06.033 Non Cobra Turbo Lexus Sports sedan Gary Sims1.08.721 Registered 347 I think 2008 – Gary W 1.02.814 * 302 V8 Supercar 8TB all the good bits.. 2009 – OB1 1.12.7850 Turbo Lexus Race car WET Eric R 1.12.4940 Non Cobra Porsche GT2 or 3 of something! 2010 - Maybe Paul G in the gocart Gary W again (Is he coming this year?) Greg Quince GT40 Chunky WARREN B (The engine must be stout by then!):JEKYLHYDE Be good to hear how everyone goes at Shelbyfest?????? |
Just to correct a few things.....
2004...... John white ....... no turbo that year... 2007 ...... Gary Sims ......... Big Block..... 2008 ...... Registered 302 (nearly standard?)small block Cobra..... 1:09.0000 Guess who? |
Ash, I stand corrected but for 2008 how is Gary Walthers car registered??? NATSOFT says results say he did a 1.02 not 1.09???
|
I think Gary Sim's car is a small block built by Gibson Motorsport.
Cheers |
engine caps
Gary Sims is running a 408 ci 8 tb's small block windsor.
Gary walther is running 347 ci windsor 8tb's v8 supercar spec. Ash is running a not so stock 302 windsor. John w is running 242ci stock lexus with a hair dryer. (2004 no turbo.) me running a 242 ci stock lexus with turbo. Matt ???????? Its not what you got its how you use it. just a bit of cube envy. oz:3DSMILE: |
Amazing how well these small block Fords endure and take on modification over so many years ...

Not Anything Special.. I Can't Agree..,That Race Engine:eek::eek:.......should go really quick!!!....... :3DSMILE::3DSMILE:
Cheers, Warren: :LOL::LOL: |
Wazza, don't believe the rumours....!!! Lol :-)
By the way, did you get my pm the other day? SpookyPT |
O.K. Spook...I'll have to stop listening to "Little birdies" and their rumours...
Yes....got the e-mail...many thanks...and will be in touch. New 347 got finished yesterday:3DSMILE:......racecar nearly back on it's feet.... Now I have to decide whether I should sell the " recently reconditioned " World Class T5 Gear Box, complete with B.and M. Short shifter.............Any Bites ?? It's a genuine V8 T5...unlike a lot out there...and it's pretty strong, but the Stroker might give it some grief. A Tremec might be the go! It never bloody stops this upgrading/changing thing does it..??,, Time flies as well...only got 6 months to practice for the Nationals! Cheers, Warren. |
T5
Waz wouldn't it be a good idea to keep the T5 as a spare???? You know, just in case?;)
6 months till the Nats! :D |
Some really good times there.
To be honest I would be more interested in what tyres everyone was running rather than engine size. It seems to make a big difference at twisty Wakefield. Cheers, Ben |
gary walther is running 360 cid for at least 600 to 650 hp, thats what he confirmed to me. tomcat
|
Yeah i thought Gary's car was a dart block 363 cube monster. Well I am pretty sure that is what his mechanic told me at Morgan Park a year or so ago. Pretty much V8 supercar spec except 6 litre not 5 litre.....
Spook the 1:09.0 was me...... little old stock 302.... As for tyres we all pretty much run the Kumho Ecsta V700 semi slicks for events that require grooves baby... Michelin slicks for events that don't care for grooves... Kumho's are expensive in Oz, cheaper to get them from the States. |

I couldn't tell you brands or specs but I'm sure the fellas can chime in with best tyres choices.. Seeing as though we are talking racing... can the racers tell me how they would grade certain tracks in relation to smooth v's bumpy... i.e. QR, Morgan Park, Wakefield etc etc SpookypT:) |
It would be good to put the details in a running xl spread sheet to keep a track of the facts.
What does a current V8 super car do a lap in? Go the Lexus, hope to get there one year when I'm back over that side of the universe. |
|
Thanks for that, what is the break down of the different cobra nations classes? I can work out class 7&8 but what are the others, I want to work out what class I would be in with a supercharged lexus V8.
|
You would be in "Yahoooo" class !
