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,"

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
