Thanks guys.....If the spots dont get filled then yes it gets cancelled.

If it gets cancelled you will all recieve a full refund, however it shouldnt be the case, i have a fair few people looking into paying this week so it should be ok.

Regards,

Dean

sweet

also as you make know SAU had problems due to cancellations of wet weather and all, have WSID mentioned any penalties etc?

just to make sure WSID doesnt do the dodgey and keep the deposit.

Hi Guys, some of you have asked questions such as can bikes race etc. Here are the answers.

Additional Information

1) Motor bikes CAN race, however they are not permitted to race against cars. Same rules apply with a bike, they cannot run faster then 11.00.

2) Gates and scrutineering starts at 8am, racing at 10.

I am still in discussions as to what happens if the day is a wash out (rain). I will update you guys as soon as i know (should be tomorrow)

Dean, I would be very careful in any dealings with WSID due to what has happened to SAU NSW at its last private drag day. Is there a contract or written agreement with WSID? What happens if veryone turns up and thn it rains: (a) before racing starts and before track is prepped; (b) before racing starts and after track is prepped; © after racing starts.

I am not personally worried about it, just don't want to see the club holding the event to be in a similar situation that SAU NSW was in whereby the WSID management were going to keepa substantial amount of money which meant that each racer would lose about half their money.

I am still keen Dean however have committed to other track days prior to this one which have chewed up my spare cash.... i will be sure to keep in touch and should there become spots availiable in the not to distant future will be sure to tranfer funds as soon as possible....

I understand your concerns guys, at this stage nothing is written as no money has been transfered. Everything has been verbal at this point.

I have some info however i am waiting on a confirmation call from WSID tomorrow to get the final details.....at which point i will post them up.

PS, i am keeping record of who i speak to, what number i called them on, date, time etc so there shouldnt be any issues, but ill see if i can get something written before money gets transfered across to them.

Ah ok, i am assuming you may have put your name down to the V8owner track day.

Ok, let me know how you go, if your still interested and there are still spots we can sort something out for you.

I have actually decided to try my hand at turning corners.... and not just the corner at the end of the drag strip :( UAS is holding a circuit day at Oran Park on the 2nd of April so, providing the 200 is tuned, i will be heading out to try my hand at circuit racing....

We should be able to come across some cash for this day but obviously am not going to over commit myself just yet... Will let you know the minute i know more

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
