New Record! 58.22 sec for a 1300 cc car!

Its an RWYB race weekend again, this time i left without tammy... Tammy's restoration is still a work in progress...



So Almay and I hitched with Philip and KR, drove black wing from QC to Subic, the 4g18's response is nice. its just lacking torque, its probably because its carrying 4 adults with some tools and equipment inside the trunk. Was trying to make a top speed again but all the passengers where ranting not to. (Killjoy!)

We left Manila by 7:30 pm Saturday and arrived at Subic by 10:30ish, Met up with MSC, (Pat, Jun who drove to Subic earlier that day), Prepped Warcar (patrick's 94 Mitsubishi Lancer EL) at BnJ autogarage
We stayed overnight to secure a covered parking, so the intention is to go to SIR 6 in the morning to park the car, and THEY did that. hehehe... Im not a morning person anymore, Ihate waking up in the morning, so while i was asleep, the guys walk around the track...


at around 8 we were already at the track, and the new addition to the crew...
1.KR (c/o Pilip)
2.Mark (fortis)
3.Uly (fortis)
4.PeeGee
5. Carlo

Im looking for a pic in which you guys were all there ( can't find one).

Here's some highlights:

Voter's application?... Nope. RWYB round 4 registration.
Shout out to Patrick Sison who let me drive potpot (94' Mitsubishi Lancer EL 1300 cc).
Bracketing for potpot
F: 1'03" -Benj Go
E: 1'00" -Patrick Sison
D: 58" -AJ Lacambra ( got my qualifying at 58.92 and 58.73)

yes, you are right. Potpot drove 3 classes that day, which means 3 qualifying sessions, 3 runs for heat 1, 3 runs for heat 2. for every run Potpot has a hot lap, 2 timed laps, and a cooldown. count how many times did potpot ran that day... (sigh.. lost count, hehehe...)

of course thanks also to Benj who let us use his ad07 for track day! cheers to you and patrick!

Now, anybody will think its like raping a car that day... which i think what Potpot had felt. during the first heat, Potpot has its carb piston stuck on FULL THROTTLE during my session!... it was scary... entering the sweeping left (turn 2) with full throttle going to chicane! imagine that ;P

I got a hold of the situation using left foot braking.... and while i was doing the braking.. was slamming the accelerator (was thinking the accel cable was stuck not the piston, hoping slamming the accel pedal will release the stuck up, which it did!)

so i came in the pit and let my knight in shining armor, repair it. (its Jun.) I told the guys what i encountered, being a carb engine really not sure what happened... Jun checked the engine and says "its just the carb piston stucked... we just need carb cleaner" --- tadaaaa! its done...


Many thanks to Jun Alavaro! the driver of the year for 2009 RWYB! :D

Come lunchtime, thanks to Xtremely Xpresso for the pizza!

As you can see in the pic the size of their pizza is that big! it almost cover the whole of the hood of Jun's car but its not the only asset the Xtremely Xpresso has on their pizza. Its also yummy! Two whole pizza's were enough to make 16 hungry stomachs go "Burp"... hehehe...

After the siesta...
people were looking for places to sleep! hehehe.. .the food was that good!

before going to heat 2, was able to check how my first heat was..
Heat 1
Timed lap 1 58.30
Timed lap 2 58.29

pretty consistent... and taught of using the same lines still...
Heat 2
Timed lap 1 58.22 --- my new record for a 1300 car with trim
Timed lap 58.28

and now the results:
Its our first timer on 2nd place on bracket G 1'06". KR (the female wearing Toyota shirt)

Fresh from US, Benj Go, who let us use his Neova AD07. 1st Place on Bracket F 1'03".


On bracket E 1'00" on 2nd place PeeGee!(wearing brown) and on 1st place Pilip! (wearing red)


I'm on bracket D 58'22", took 2nd place .
