thats unusual cause when i was reading my local messenger, they had an article on the nats which stated that its a good ahead despite the drama's they are currently dealing with. could be a publicity stunt simply to keep enthusiast happy and themselves out of hot water.

the following ANDRA sanctioned drag racing events have been deferred until new dates are set.Four, Six and Rotary Nationals - February 25th& 26th Super Charged Outlaws /Pro Stock /Pro Bike - March 18th

It was on Feb 25&26, it is now postponned indefinately, as is the Supercharged outlaws..

Unfortunately I've been looking for these improvements ever since I knew there is a drag strip in SA :( It doesn't look like there will be any more legal offstreet drag racing for the rest of this year :(

I think I will take the new job offer.........Willowbank here I come :P

Check out the weather atm

The police could not be too happy about adelaides only legal drag strip being out of action for too long. You would think they/government might be able to contribute to get the place operational considering alot of young hoons would now be doing it on the roads!!!!! (where else are they going to go). I beleive it would greatly reduce the amount of street racing in the long term.

Perhaps another way the gov can save lives on roads (besides buying another speed camera! -hehehehe) would be too build a couple of drag strips that are open to the public at very little cost. That way people could race in a controlled environment that is relatively safe and would keep them from doing it on the streets - as often. May be a little expensive at first to set up but then again in tradeoff how much is a life(s) worth? Surely it wouldnt cost too much to maintain a strip of road and a couple of safety marshalls -- charge 5 -10 bucks a run recover some of the costs.

So you'd leave the state just because the drag racing track timing system is being upgraded?!?!?

Freebaggin, nah it's just the last straw on the descision scale.

Better work prospectus, better weather and drag racing 2x per week all year round. I have not given my definite answer yet but I am tipping QLD for now.

I am going to miss some great friends and people in SA. Hope to see you guys at the Jamboree and Indy.

9krpm, QLD and Gold Coast absolutely rocks. I would highly recommend the re-location. Have spent a few years there myself and loved it.

I wish I hadn't asked, full of rednecks, dills and yobbos from what I've seen.

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
