That is good news!!!

As much as I hate the mexicans, I'm glad that Winton picked up the property!!!

At least we can be semi sure it's going to remain a race track!

I am quite happy to speak on behalf of Winton, the race track will stay a race track. It will be business as usual, Winton and WP have shared the same racing philosophies for years.

Winton (and now WP) is owned by Benalla Auto Club, just an ordinary fairly conservative RURAL car club like many others around Australia, this is not a bunch of corporate raiders

Their belief is to bring AFFORDABLE motorsport back to the people, to take control of their own destiny.

You wil be happy with the ownership and the way the place is managed.

Oran Park has already been sold from what I've heard.

It's in the contract to leave them there for another 2 years I think it is, and he's basically being forced out by the government, due to complaints.

Ahhh, the Government. Close racetracks across Australia, then complain and take knee-jerk measurements to curb the road-toll and number of injuries suffered on our roads...

Maybe if they implemented COMPULSORY DRIVER TRAINING and utilised the facilities already available to us, then we would have better drivers (in general), lower the road-toll of injuries and fatalities, and (OK, it's a long shot, but here it goes) reduced insurance premiums!

Oh well, at least Wakefield is staying with us for some time...

One of the upgrades at Wakefield Park in the next 12 months will be the resurfacing of the 2.2km track with a hotmix surface which will be beneficial to the many different motor sport disciplines which compete at Wakefield Park.

Thats allways good to hear.ive allways thought,as i suppose allot of people have,that wakefield could do with a resurface.

Yeah I love how they build houses near OP and then the people move in there, knowing full well there is a racetrack next door, then they complain about the noise and it gets shut down.

It's the same thing with live music in the city. People move in next door to a pub that has been open for 100 years and playing live music for 30 then have the hide to complain about the noise and drunk people. Then crazily the governments place massive restrictions on the pubs and they are forced out.

grumble grumble

Someone correct me if I'm wrong,,,,but I don't remember OP being closed because of noise. From my understanding OP was sold for no other reason than housing.

Why resurface WP,,,that would only take all the caracter(spelling?) out of the place. If you can't handle the bumps going into the lead-on then learn to sort your car out better. Please leave the track as it is.

Hot mix the southern and northern pit areas instead. Another idea would be to roof the pit lane crew area,,, it gets bloody hot and cold for the poor fools pitting.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.

      Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
