$75.00 gets you entry, a momento pack, and entry to the track, and entry to the concourse. It does not let you compete at the track, or attend the trivia night. It will also cost your partner, or additional people extra money to attend the "Welcome barbeque" and the Farewell Barbeque, where your entry fee of $75.00 covers these two items as well. Oh Presentation dinner is $65.00 per head, and no kids allowed. Oh no kids allowed to anything basically.

I feel the need to respond to this post......

"Oh no kids allowed to anything basically." is a little shallow and to be honest.... far fetched...

Just so everyone has the right information.

The basic package as Cazz mentioned, gets you to the welcome bbq, the farewell breakfast, and the concourse entry. It also gives you some merchandise and the ususal show bag.

If you want to come and watch the cars at the track, not only are you most welcome, but it will cost you zip.......... as if you are going to be charged you to do that...!!

Now.. the kids bit.

Fri night - Welcome bbq = kids welcome

Sat = Sprint - kids welcome but must be supervised (as in ALL sprint events). Should the kids/partners not be interested, they can go on the country drive.

Sat night = Trivia night. Aimed for EVERYONE = kids welcome.

Sun = Concourse. Anyone is welcome... ohh... and should partners/kids not be bored, we have arranged a shuttle bus which do a loop around the island stopping at several tourist attractions. It will generally run on the hour, so if you get off at say 11:15, then at quarter past each hour (allowing for traffic) it will swing past where you can jump on and get off where ever you like.

Sun Dinner = The only reason kids (at this stage ) aren't allowed is simply due to room. We originally had the Conti booked - that is in receivership. The next available option is the golf club which simply cannot squeeze everyone in and yes it does cost more. If you feel that your kids should take priority over Nationals entrants, then perhaps it's a case of agree to dis-agree, as I thought the entrants should get the first option.

So, if the above does not cater for kids, then I don't really know what does.....................

If you have ANY questions, simply ask. We don't bite, and those who know me, know not only do I call a spade a dirty big shovel, but that I will give you an honest answer. I don't have anything to hide (except for the fact I hit a pole in my daily driver due to my own fault.... oh bugger.!) I don't care for office politics and will happily help anyone in any way I can.

Cheers and hope to see you there.........

Im in as of now, and competing! two weeks in a row. My car is going to hate me. i Just put it all back to standard, now it all has to go back on... its a hard life... poor mate busted his gearbox in his datto, and he needed to fill his spot or its money down the drain.

1;56, here we come.

Do we know of anyone else here thats competing???

Hey All,

Not long now, cant wait.

I was going to be competeing in the sprints but decided not to as Im already paying a nice little bundle in accomodation and enrty/dinner fees and am currently out of a job so have to try and save money at the moment.

Will be good to meet a few people from here, havent been on any of the cruises yet. Do know a few people already from the 31 club (cazz, syphon & wheezy ;))

Cheers,

Gagz

    • Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!
    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
