So is that a Yay or Nay?

I doubt they would cancel altogether, they would postpone the date until the equipment had been fixed (just a guess), lots of people would have paid up their entry fee.

Would have been good too, if it was nicer weather than last year.

Calder Park in Melbourne is still a bit of shit-hole, if you were going to move anywhere for drag racing it'd to be near WSID or Willowbank, bonus with Qld is they have some great (read slack) rules when it comes to street cars and mods. :)

I Spoke to AIR today.

They said the timing guy is sorting things at the moment and Bob Jane is coming down over the weekend.

They will know whats going on 100 % by wednesday.

Said it is most likely going ahead at this stage though.

I heard Bob Jane isn't prepared to spent 1c on fixing anything, as he will most likely lose the track in the upcoming June court case. Why would you spend money on something you are likely to lose soon? Sorry guys, no more drag racing this year is the likely eventuality. :P

It's official, we have the crappiest track in Australia. I feel bad for people who have spent thousands getting their car ready for this event only to find they may not be able to race in this State!?

Did Bob Jane ever spend 1c on the track? Doesn't show.

I've just been offered a great job in the Gold Coast. I am still undecided at this stage. It will be sad to leave Adelaide but I don't think I will miss SA notorious Regency, defect stations and AIR. Everything that has been said is so true. Took the whole year to prepare the car for this National event and what a let down :P

Decision, decision, decision ......

damn it would be sad to see you leave Danh!

Are you coming on the cruise? If so, please bring my helmet :) - also did you get my PM on ns.com a while back asking you to grab a secondary bonnet wire for me from from Zenith/Darren when you picked yours up? If you didn't and Darren reads this, can he please bring one (or more - who knows - you might sell some) for me to buy?

Nightracer :), I will try to come to the cruise on the 19th if I get part for the PPGearbox in time. I could not pick up the bonnet catch wire as I have been busy and his place is out of my way. If I cant make it I will try to catch up with you guys at the second meeting point (with your helmet).

Zenith if you read this too could you bring Nightcrawler and mine to the cruise?

Many SA drag clubs (including SMASA I believe) have thought of buying the track in the past.

1 big prob: Bob Jane don't wanna sell it. End of story. He just doesnt want to spend $$ on it either, senile old bugga..

anyone see him on the Muscle Car Masters on ch10 the other week? He had no idea what was going on around him :(

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
