I don’t know about you, but it feels like March has just snuck up on me out of nowhere ! Between Top Gear, CSCA Supersprint, other social comittments and of course the biggest social inhibitor a lot of us face, work, I feel like I suffer from my own Global Financial Crisis in that I am time poor. If any members have any oneowner, low mileage time machines camouflaged in the back of there garage - maybe you need to submit a classified ad to the editor - don't forget to include the full service history and the Dyno graph. During the past month I have been able to refine the Clubtorque layout hopefully making it a little more readable. Included this month is a busy centre spread highlighting some club related events that have occurred recently. Submissions from any member are always welcome but please be mindful of the submission cutoff dates. I have tried to encourage some members to submit progressive articles sharing the trials and tribulations associated with building/rebuilding a race boost’ED’ M A R C H 2 0 0 9 car. Just like an edition of Clubtorque - its all in the preparation. John Collin’s has a guide to preparation he calls the “6 P’s” - if you are lucky he may impart this knowledge onto you one day. Speaking of preparation, John Finch recently encountered a challenging situation after some suspension bolts worked loose after his race prep - luckily it was picked up during a safety check in scrutineering so all was well. Safety is paramount in motorsport and should never be compromised - hence the need for minimal requirements for competitors and vehicles. I was at Winton Raceway recently and witnessed an offset head on collision between two Porsche’s at about 100km/h. Luckily both drivers only had minor injuries due to good safety practices and standards in vehicle structure. The pictures below illustrate how much the vehicles distorted yet stayed intact so to speak - can you find the brake, clutch and throttle pedals in the cockpit shot ? Race safe and I will see you next month.
