KKS Autocross Round 5 (11/9/2005)

And BTW, there are some places where underground water comes through after rain. So you also may have wet patches on top of the loose gravel and off-cambers.

 

[whatdamn]

swamp_rat,
wow! that looks like a very fast course isn't it? looks fun though. :) but yeah, looks kinda dangerous at the loop there.

Not if you know what you are doing. Unless you have more b---- than brains!!

 

[InitialD]

Wow! So those using Rear Wheel Drive can drift thru that loop lah. Cool!

 

[whatdamn]

swamp_rat,
how much clearence is there if you go perpendicularly to the tangent of the loop? say, 10 feet from the armco thinggy?

 

[yolk]

guys so is confirmed just go there and register in the morning and just bring valid driving license ??? do they have limit on registration ??

Probably 10 feet at the closest point but may be more for spectator safety. Actually if you lose it in the slalom section you can cause more damage to the car. Someone nearly lost his whole tail section in December 2004.

The KKS has not reached any limit so far. The timing equipment used can time up to 4 cars at a time on the track but normally two cars run at a time. Read the regs and make sure you understand them before turning up on Sunday.

swamp_rat,
thanks :) might drive up to take a look at the area before sunday, anyone wanna tag along?

*Damn* Bad memories..hahaha

mrmic2,

Hey Yolk! U also interested ar? Me too.
I also wanted to be sure of this...otherwise end up go there for nothing if they don't accept on-the-spot registration.

 

[buff]

Registrations will be accepted on the spot, but don't come after the close of registration, otherwise you really will get your entry rejected. It's not fair to hold up the start of the entire event just for the sake of one or two fellows who woke up late....

 

[julianpang]

Noted. The course is about 1 km long so light weight and plenty of oomph is the order of the day. We will still have the back loop for those who dare to drift.

I want more back loops please........

If can,have at least 3 loops in every layout.

The risk is lower for FF cars compared to FR/MR cars.

Normally, FF cars will handbrake around the loops.

 

[whatdamn]

julian,
true, but what if you understeer? same thing happens mer. so must be more carefull lor.

 

[yolk]

initiald

julian

Try not to push the car too much if you are not familiar with the loops.

Go find a big parking lot and practise the loop with 1 cone.

You will get a hang of it.

Ian did mention to me that the classes will be similar to SSO.
