ECIR has been booked for a private day on Friday 31st October. Main aim is for the Production Sports Association to have an end of year event to thank their supporters.

There will be spare spots available and we need to get the numbers to break even on the day.

So all types of car are welcome.

If openwheelers turn up we will have to make separate groups.

Otherwise you will be able to go out when and as you like.

No 20 minutes on then 60 minutes off as in ARDC days.

Passenger rides are permitted so a chance to thank those who have helped.

Also an ideal day to sort out a car as there will be no lost time between tweaks to forget what it was like.

Seat belts and helmets / clothing to Supersprint requirements for Drivers and passengers.

L2S license as a minimum for Drivers.

Road cars to Supersprint standards also so effectively as they are.

We will have an Ambulance and a couple of recovery vehicles but no flaggies, just spotters with radios.

No limit on visitors and passengers, They will sign a form if going out but no charge for them.

Garages and pit lane available.

Gourmet sandwich lunch, tea, coffee, soft drinks available for $15 head. BYO after drinks if needed.

I need numbers of people taking part in that lunch.

Costs, Well , we have to cover the ARDC bill which is close to $10K so if we get 40 cars that’s $250 /car or if we get to what I think is the maximum for a clear go then 50 cars = $200 each.

We will initially ask for the $250 then refund on the day if we get the 50 cars.

I need an indication of who might be coming ASAP as we need to be sure we can cover the bill.

Please feel free to send this email on to anyone you think is suitable for such a day.

I will be Clerk of Course so I can assure you of the minimum of rules to make it a great day.

The entry form is attached and most details are on it.

I will have some indemnity forms at the track on the day so each driver will complete one, present their CAMS license and collect an armband to show the controller as you approach pit exit.

Passengers will fill in a similar form and collect a different coloured armband. They will also show this as the car exits pit lane.

Fatz and I are going

This is not organised by me. Just thought a few might be interested. Also if they get a total of 50 drivers the price drops to $200.

I believe there only a few spots left so it will almost certainly be $200 for the day.

Yeah $95 bux for a cams license for the year.

This day would probably not be suitable for anyone who has not done a club track day before.

Also be prepared for about $200 worth of fuel. These open days you can easily do 100's of laps which is tough on the car.

Either way its a steal for $200 and a good excuse to take a day off work.

I did a day a couple years ago on OP South with Aaron McGill and his race team. They took their sponsers out and he had an invite to other guys, and I was one. I was on the track with about 5 V8 lites....at first I was scared but after a while you can hear them coming and just know to get out of their way haha

I already have the friday off - Will see how I go with funds

anyone had much experience in one of these days? it sounds like it would get a bit sloppy...with all those cars out there.

Come down for a free joy ride.

You find that at the start of the day you have alot of cars on the track. A few hours in there are hardly any cars on the track.

$200 Bargin! I will try and get a spot last minute and hope to god its forecast to rain!!!!!

Old school flash back 2002, $199 motor concept days, Oz and Fatz rain dance for a week to have the heaven’s open up. 3 tanks of fuel and 200 laps later fatz and oz have just torn up the best skid pan in the world by ourselves!

Fatz,

Almost as good as the fathersday L2S day when some idiot lost his load just before lunch, 4 schooners later we are back on the track doing our best lap times of the day.

No cash has left my hands yet, Need some stuff done to the car and watching for the weather, I wont run at a 30Deg + day.

Bonks, will pop out at a minimum, but I am planning to drive.

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
