Its nearly that time of the year where we get to enjoy copious amounts of beer, short skirts and horsepower :D

last year there was a meet point which happened to be next to the Bikini Parade :yes:, not sure how many people turned up on the sunday but i know andrew and i were the only ones there on the saturday.

i'll be there all 4 days gonna be busy between the Australian GT's and the PCR garage especially as its Bowe's final year :(

yep we will be there as always in the Gold seats off the end of the hairpin. I will check the program closer to the date and make a meet spot near the bikini parade again, during the bikini parade :D

Robbie Bulger and co. have been doing a little bit of drift and a lot of doughnuts/burnouts in the CAPA utes for some years now - definitely a highlight of the weekend - and it makes our pit entry gold seats worth every penny :)

LOOK what landed in Adelaide monday. The car was air lifted from Reiter Engineering in Germany to be ready for the event. Had a test session at mallala on tuesday.

sounds cross between a viper and a champ car will sound great echoing through the cement walls

    • 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/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
