To little to late for AIR...There must be an alteria motive for BJ to be spending $$$$ on that place....Like him making money, otherwise wouldn't he have spent the $$$ previously? Something more sinister is going on maybe its the old BJ V's BR battle?? Anything you can do i can do better???

Important Notice - Adelaide

We have just been advised that nearly all of Adelaide Raceway has been resurfaced, but, when they were on the last section of the back straight the machinery sank through the track.

As a result we will have to cancel May/June in Adelaide.

The track will not be ready for several months as they have to dig out the whole of the back straight and rebuild it.

We apologise for this delay. We are trying to book alternate dates at Mallala and we will advise further when we have more information.

i got the same news as whiplash.

Been booked in for this fast track thing where u drive a v8 around the track and everytime we book about a week before it happens theres always something wrong.

Yeah, friend of mine got one of those fast track days as a gift (birthday), but they kept canceling. He got sick of it and thought "f**k it", told them to go stick it.

:D

Yeah, but no one here is going to be holding their breath just yet.

:woot:

Yeah true but atleast if Calder have brought it, It's a positive sign that something will happen :P

Maybe a mass email to the Calder Park people to find out what's happening and when you guys will see your track again !!

Jess: Bob Jane has owned both Calder Park and AIR for MANY years... and thus is the problem.

Bob is a tight ass and wont do anything properly with regards to upgrading/repairing facilities... that is why the circuit has been closed for so long. In the last few years (partly due to his divorce) Bob has spent as little as he could, and what he has spent has all been at Calder, NOTHING at AIR. (till now it seems).

But with this sink hole set back, wouldnt surprise me if he doesn't spend anything for another 12+ months.

Bob has never spent anything at AIR. That place has been deteriorating for over 10 years!

Signs half dangling over the track etc! :geek:

Oh well I just learnt something..I thought Calder where different people..

yes I know its been deteriating :) the last time I was there was when Jack Daniels brought there drag car out and did a massive burnout display down the strip was awesome and there was a massive crowd, Adelaide has had some awesome stuff that you dont see anywhere else :D

But they advertise for V8 laps and driver training at AIR :geek:

well good ol'bob has left the work on the track to late and has had to relocate the next round of his AMRC (which means we miss out on seeing some decent racing cars).Knowing how half arsed the series is run, i'm surprised they aren't racing around the construction work on the track

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
