does the car need to be registered

can you run slicks

can i test my car (new one) even though i know it will run quicker then 11`s on a full run

i just wanna setup the rear end which will prob take 10 or so runs

i wont run a full pass just half track

Car needs to be registered. Very similar rules to a wednesday night street meet except no cars faster than 11.00

In other news it looks like we will be organising some class based grudge matches. The basically stock v8's run similar to Skylines with stock turbos.

Someone remind me not to get into a smoking match with them again. :no:

this is the same day as the v8 owners day would that mean we would run against them.. juz read the top off the first post my bad

you run againts who ever is next to you, or you can race a mate etc.. joint day is to make sure we get the numbers. these days arnt too common so it will fill up for sure.

a note for the noobs, last SAU drag day was my first and you get more experience in this one day as 10 visits to WSID on a wed night.

All up last time i got in about 37 runs last time, and the stress on the car was 1/4 of the amount of a track day.

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • 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?

    • 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/
