Posted this in a new thread since I can't edit the old one.

Ok Gave hume a call. I reckon probably the best time to Book is:

29th June Sunday or 6th July Sunday some time.

Cheapest way to do it is to book the whole track out for an hour. Cost is 540$ So if we get 10 people it's 54$ each

Maximum of 10 karts in one race. If we get more than 10 people wanting in, could probably work something out, but would probably need some like 16-20 people, and then we'd book it out for two hours.

Format would be : 3 x 15 minute races or 4 x 10 minutes races. (plenty to tire you out lol).

If people are in on this, please advise what days you can make it or not. If we get 8 or 10 will book this in. Booking the track exclusively for an hour is the cheapest, means only us are on it too. Hume also has a BBQ etc to use.

Yes for 2 either date currently.

Can you check the format. 4 x 10min = 40 mins allowing for breaks we should be able to get 5x10min in I think.

Comparing to normal prices of $45 for 3 x 10 min and we don't need to have any specific numbers, which is the better deal?

You can try but trust me I think after the 4th race you'll be pretty knackered.

Checked the format on the phone. I think other wise, each 10min race is charged at 17$ so thats 68$ for 4 races compared to 54$ if we get 10 people. A 5 minute break between each race isn't too much anyway.

Can have a look of doing it individually, but it is around 17$ for a 10 min race, or a bit more for a 15 minute race.

I agree that after 3 or 4 races the arms are very tired. If you ask the guys how much 30 mins is (3*10 min races) you will find it is a LOT cheaper than the 10 min race by its self.

This way we don't need 10 people and we don't need a set time.

The price for 3*10 mins sessions is only like $40 but you can get caught up with slower people or real arseholes if you don't hire it out

Ok Unless I cant count looks like 7 people have said yes so far. Will give it a day or two before I decide to book in, looks like 29th of June.

Also just to cover myself, need to tell you guys you will need to sign a disclaimer form, just incase something happens as usual, you will also either need to bring a helmet or use one there.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
