I think their will be quite afew good cars there. Nothing else is open except servo's and WSID so all the motor heads will be out there with their wheelie bars removed and swapped over to street tyres :P

i couldnt get a helmet in time so i spectated. I came at night and saw a white skyline doing 11s and 12s, it was awe inspiring.

The announcers hated imports lol and shook his head when he saw those times.

I thought the burnouts sessions were a waste of time, a big Meh from me when a couple of commo engines blew.

But yeah I found it a bit disappointing, it seems like one big bogan fest. The jap cars need to represent more. I liked the white skyline and the red supra though!

Easily the best burnouts WSID has ever seen for an "off-street meet". How can you go past Monique doing a burnout in her bf's VP, I have trouble just standing still next to her out the back in the pits let alone her throwing a car around on the burnout pad :bunny:

I thought the burnout sessions (and the whole day actually) were pretty damm good considering it's was only meant to be a 'street meet'.

Monique's burnout was a good effort, but definately not the best of the day by a long shot though...

Perhaps I'm missing something, but I don't get it why everyone whinges about V8's or imports racing depending on which side of the fence you sit. I actually enjoy seeing both types of cars racing side by side...I think there should be more of it personally and going by the half decent crowd size (more than most sport compact meets I've been to), I'm guessing I'm not the only one...

The only dissapointing part of the day was the fact that a lot of the fast cars didn't bother entering the rebel bracket shootout at the end of the day. I thought the lure of some prizemoney would have drawn a few more cars out...maybe next time. Still a pretty good day overall in my books.

Oil was DEFINITELY on the track BEFORE Shane raced. As witnessed by the total lack of oil under his car and the fact that he went straight as a die on the next pass.

Didn't stop the WSID officials pricking it out in a big way though

There weren't many cameras pointed at you Shane. Our jaws were all on the floor!

yeah, unfortunately thats what happened to my camera man. he dropped the camera when i was 45 degrees to the right wall.

no one seemed to actually get many pics of the car all weekend. although i had lots of verbal praise which was good.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
