What happens if it rains?????

Does it still go ahead???

If it rains i will kiss my transfer case. I really will.

Depending on what we get back from cams cages may not be required in either Class. BUT I can not say that for sure just yet as cams are rather slow at gertting me answers.

Nathan you've got my number - i have the cage all ready to go and as you know i dont want to use it. Please call/sms me the result from cams asap (cause the car is at the workshop right now, 3 hours away, its an effort and a half)

Yeh well the usual class split is between road reg drivers with R tyres and trailer queen racers with slicks, there are lots of other events including sprints where this difference is recognised, why not here? Who is going to buy a set of S tyres and wheels for this?

Not trying to knock the concept, it just seems that some of the rules are out of sync with expenditure already incurred for other events and classes. Hard to see the reason why.

[hrd-hr30]

that's the way Tsukuba Supelap is run in Japan. its all about how fast you can go on R tyres.

and if you don't want to run against the Open class cars you can go to Clubman class on normal road tyres. Most guys running the kind of cars targeted (late model JDM) at sprints and track days will already have 2 sets of rubber - street and semis, so its no big deal. If you really want to win Clubman, you'll probably need to buy (and buff) tyres, but some guys will already have suitable tyres too like the 595RS. And some won't care and just turn up on their normal street rubber, like me. The street tyres will be a big equaliser too - he with the most power won't neccisarily win. It will be more about overall handling balance.

I think its a good concept. I'm in for the Clubman

[N1GTR]

Concept isnt the issue, its just some clarification on some issues for the classes, and the lack of one class altogether - no doubt that will all be fixed by the time round 2 rolls around

[Superlap Australia]

Steve, I am hoping that you will not need the cage so as soon as I know I will let you know. From what I have been told so far you wont need one but I need to clarify that. Either way the class you want to run in next time will not require one

[Duncan]

well for what its worth, my opinion is that cage is a must for open class considering the pace these cars can run. jdm cars and skylines in particular really redefine the pace a pretty standard road car can run at. I think you guys are underestimating how quickly the top open class cars will go.

You are correct Duncan but my understanding is that all the cars that will be in that top 60% of the Open Class meaning the really fast guys/cars will all be purpose built and have proper cages as it is anyway. No Super sprint entrant needs a cage yet majority of the time the top guys all have them. You may still need a cage but untill cams get back to us I cant say yes or no for sure.

Nathan, if you chose to enter your car in both classes, (switch of tyres) is it teh std entry fee or can a few percent be cut off entry?

Also, have you spken to Speedweek(SBS) about getting the event covered?

[evil_weevil]

Yeah Im sure speedweek would love it!

the car show....maybe?

Ah Harry is going to make the trip down! good stuff! Supra??

[Boosted Zed]

Roll cage yes if open class and fast car as not all will be pushed. If you did roll it, which is so rare, it would likely be bad.

Hey check out this fuel a customer just showed me. New Fuel

I assume it is allowed Nathan??

Also anyone know of options with forged 18 inch wheels 10 and 11.5 114.3pcd around 35 to 40 offset?

[hrd-hr30]

Yeah Im sure speedweek would love it!

yeah mate, just in the Supra. Should be a little quicker now thanks to some very minor tweaks - I spent alot of time tweaking ride heights and have a better balance now, and also converted from sequential turbo operation to simultaneous which gets rid of a big 'hole' in power delivery for track work.

[Duncan]

Speedweek? I'm sure they will take anyone willing to pay their over the top prices. would be a great event to have televised, get some TV profile back into circuit instead of drfiting (oh sorry I mean grip driving)

[ido09s]

over the top is right!!!! They put a camera in one of the cars we prepare for Dutton to film a lap of Sandown. John then asked them for a copy and they promptly sent him an invoice for $750

[fatz]

Hey big bones I know you can drive and was that the Silvia with 3 litre engine and positive camber in front end and three wheel studs on one of two wheels? Have a go fatz no puss that's for sure.

3 litre engine in silvias rock! specially na single cam ones

positive camber happens when you weld drunk and have a track day the next day and give no shit but want to d skidz !
