Just so you know there isn't a cent left over from this day. My main sponsor actually picks up the left over costs which is usually the trophies.

Also have a look at the latest Fast Fours and you'll find a 6 page write up on the last day I organised :thumbsup::D:(:yes:

And thanks for posting it elsewhere :)

Its all good Ang... :thumbsup:

Just so you know the in's and outs Dale, I enquired about a day for SAU early last year...

The hire of willowbank generally is in excess of $7500 for the day (back in 2006 when I priced it)

I think there were some serious conditions at this price also, like it was a 10am til 5pm run time and no entry was allowed to be charged at the gate, no food stalls would open, traction compond was $1000 extra, 7 support staff which means in a accident it would take a while to clean, so on and so forth...

So the cost for one of these days is fairlly heavy to begin with, hence the $90 per car entry and believe Angela every cent gets chewed up...

But think of it this way, a TnT night you pay $38 and would be lucky to get say 4-5 runs in before they shut the gates...

This is cause over 200 cars turn up every time and a tnt has a shorter run time, so imaging what you could do with half the cars and an extra couple of hours up your sleave... :happy:

At this event there is a limited number of cars, so your gonna get in at least 15 runs maby more...

Id be there myself if I didnt have other things on that day...

So the cost for one of these days is fairlly heavy to begin with, hence the $90 per car entry and believe Angela every cent gets chewed up...

Thanks so much :P It is hell dear and my stress levels are up there organising it :P

Side note someone got in 32 runs last time and actually broke the Willowbank record for the most runs in one session :D

wow thats crazy. quite expensive to say the least. I appreicate you both explaining that to me , excuse my ignorance :rant:

All good :rant:

    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
