For those out there who cannot take part in a private track hire because your street or competition car is 10.99 or quicker, perhaps you might want to join in on a private test and tune day.

This is the same as a private track day but is limited to 12 vehicles at $375. The track is fully prepped and there are no ET limits.

Please let me know here if you are interested.

Point of clarification: it is my undertanding that only ANDRA competition cars can take part in a test and tune.

If you don't have an ANDRA licence and vehicle log book then this sort of event is not for you, instead you'd be better served by a private track day.

MrBlonde, would you know if they will let me on without a weld in molly cage running 10's? i have the license etc but i don't have the cage so i'm not allowed on street meets. i would imagine the rules would be the same but i thought i'd ask anyway.

Both street meets and test and tunes are under ANDRA rules. If your car runs quicker than 11.000 then you need a rollbar.

I discussed the options for a private test and tune track hire with John Henman at WSID recently. He mentioned the 12 cars @ $375 arrangement.

John stated that currently this is on offer for a Wednesday day. I have asked him to clarify whether or not this can be offered for a weekend day which would suit most people a little more. He is taking this to the WSID board for a decision.

There is no date yet. Once I have 12 firm starters I can solidify the arrangements.

deped=ndingon the date i may go, but if the track is not going to be prepped im not interested. best time to hold it would be after a comp meeting or tnt

Shane, the private test and tune day will be on a fully prepped track, just the same as for Top Fuellers.

Are you interested? Would be good to see you there.

definatley interested, though i have to get my gearbox out and off to south australia to find out what my problem is prior to jamboree, so at this stage i wouldnt be ready until august i would guess.

My car is getting teched friday

    • 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.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
