Wondering if there are many skylines [or other vehicles of course] heading up to Queensland raceway for the 20th sep saturday afternoon sprints ... wondering what the format is???? was wanting to do a few laps. Can this be done without competing in the sprint series. [dont feel like punishing the poor thing that much yet!] What time does everyone arrive etc, is there a run through of rules and regs etc???

I cant till my car is back on the road dunc, Zenon is a regular there, Not too many others from these boards.

Dont worry bout your lap times. If you're running a new car in Just ask to be put in the slow bracket and go enjoy yourself.

Hope she's back on the road soon for you.. cheers

Zennon wont be going saturday but you should have fun.

Make sure you pre-enter as entering on the day is a thing of the past.

Last time I went (27-Aug) was on a Wednesday.

Wednesday's are heaps better because there are less cars and you get to do the clubman and the sprint track.

Anyway there was 4 skylines (including me), 6 porches, 3 rotaries, 4 new minis, and a few others.

Cant even remember what time it is on saturdays.. think briefly is around 12 or something or maybe

Use to have to get there early so get a pit spot but these days they allocate pit spots based on when you enter

(hence fax your entry form in early!)

Remember to wear natural material long pants and long shirt (not plastic thats melt to your body) :)

In the old days it was three sessions which each had 1 warm up lap, 5 hot laps, 1 cool down lap,

and then if they had enough time (didn't pull people out of the kitty litter etc) you get a 4th go..

These days I think it is very rare to get a 4th session in due to amount of people...

Anyway enjoy!

Saturday arvo's are shit Duncan. You are flat out getting a couple of track sessions because of the numbers.

There is far better value in the wednesday sprint and even better value still in the time attack sprint sereis run by Mountain runner on these forums. Its a tad more exy but you will get more than double the track time over the qr events.

You dont have to enter the Time Attack series to go with Mountain Runner, he has groups according to experience and also has a beginner lecture for newbies that gives you a good idea on whats what out there on the track.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
