Great news everyone. RENEW have just confirmed that we have 30 spots all up.

They will be running the day a bit different to previous days. It will be a bit more like supersprints. Apparently there is a back entry onto the track a little before the start of the straight. We will be going on there. Timing starts once we hit the start/finish line. We then race on for 3 hot laps after which we head around and off again.

I'm told that this is a much more efficient use of the track and that we will all get heaps of track time.

Those that have put your hand up for the reserve list put in your $100 now, anyone else that wants to be in don't think that we wont sell out despite doubling the spots. Get in quick.

Awesome... $100 going in next week!

And yeah, I have done a day that uses the layout you talk of Adam, for super sprints it is a much more efficient use of the track... the way I think is being proposed is enter not far before turn 10, gives you 10,11,12 to get on it, be careful through 1 on the first lap, then after your allotted laps, cool down through turn 1,2,3 exit at 4 and back to the pits... if everyone is not being dumb it works a treat, saves nearly 6 kms of warm up and warm down.

See you all on the track! (tomorrow)

Dan.

Adam I would be more than happy to be one of the flag marshalls on the day. Let me know!

Yeah, that is the way it works.

A couple of us have been out to EC to observe and help some other clubs run their supersprints, and the process described above seems to work really well. It cuts down on heaps of time, compared to if entrants are doing both a full warm-up and cool down laps.

We're glad that we have been able to make a heap more spots available.

Abo & Renew,

It would still be good to do some free tracktime for some of the new people to get used to it before we send them out in super sprints. I personally would still like some open track time just to push some laps out.

Also how do you deal with fools like me with slicks that need 3 laps to get some heat into them.

Thanks

Oz you need to do the old fashioned tyre warming exercises like weaving on the warm up part it is still a fair bit of track if you take it slower and weave enough.

But I agree would be nice for first session or 2 to allow passengers from a learning point of view, then get into the timed laps mid morning....still leaves plenty of time for good laps :)

      Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
