I was planning on having a crack at some straight line stuff tonight also, but saw the BOM website and said chance of storm so I passed!

I'll be out within a few weeks!

Yeah I rode out there hoping to run... got to the gates at 5:15pm and got told the bad news :D

At least I'm only 15 minutes away from the track. There was another guy on a motorbike there.. he'd ridden down from Newcastle (2 hours). He then had to ride home in the pissing down rain.. poor bastard. It took him and I 30 minutes in traffic just to get to my place, I was soaked when I get home... hate to imagine how bad he'd be!!

You should try coming from Soldiers Point (Port Stephens) booking hotel for two nights (before and after trackday) only for the asswipes to call it off just because it rained the night before. It didnt rain all day, and then try to swindle us out of our entry fee as well. That sucks.

Had a good day at the Golden Slipper though to make up for it.

if you get there at 430 445 you should be near the start of the gates. go straight to sign in then scrutineering and hopefully should be one of the first ones to race.

and ring them up on the day to make sure it's not raining etc

I've been in the same boat. I was going to go with some mates but rained the day before, so they called it off.

Drag racers should harden the f**k up, and learn to race in the wet. Have the tyre guys develop a wet weather drag racing tyre.

If circuit racers can do it in open wheelers on near slicks because the skies opened up in the middle of a lap, surely drag racers can have a go too. If it rains during staging and they're on dry tyres, pull them off. If it rains in the middle, learn throttle modulation or back off.

    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
    • For DBA, check out their guide table here. https://dba.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Direct_Replacement-Guide-2021.2.pdf   Additionally they have some other guides and info on how to make sure you choose the right pad.
    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
