Legal Drag Racing at Kooralbyn


Recommended Posts

Guest BOOSTIN_180

If anyone is interested i was thinkin of organising a cruise in the upcoming weeks. We would head out west towards Kooralbyn, there are some very nice long roads out there, and at the end we would stop at a runway, where they would let us have some runs if anyone wanted to, it all legal cause it is privately owned and i know the ppl that own it.

To save everyone from reading the whole thing I'll let you all know that this is no longer happening.

Here is the reason from Mattson

"Ok first of all before ya all take this the wrong way I thought I'd give you a few facts:

There is no way, repeat NO WAY you'll race two cars side by side down the kooralbyn air strip, it is NOT wide enough!

secondly, the surface of the air strip is SHITE, it's like a cheap d-grade rock and tar road, and very un-even.

third, there is a BIG **** off river on one side and a drop onto the road on the other side and at the end of the run-way the same river.

now the reason I know this is I went to school at Kooralbyn for 9 years, I worked at the Golf Course for two years, my sisters boyfriend is a Sky-Diver & does all the filming for the Jump crew out there, my sister works as a part-time receptionist for the Kooralbyn Air-Stripe so I Also know Brad Turned personally.

and myself & BoostedS15 were just out at Kooralbyn on the weekend for a Golfing adventure and after seeing this thread and seeing the air strip there is no way it could work.

And the last thing, Public Liability, if you have any more then 6 cars out there then in the eyes of the law you are classed as Group/Club therefore requiring public liability insurance, and in this sort of event where the public and others could be in SERIOUS danger you will be in all sorts of problems if something does happen

But, by all means go ahead to conitinue to orginise it, this is just my two cents worth...

Cheers,"

    • 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
