What happens if more than 30 people want to go? I guess it'd be a waste casue there wouldnt be enough time to get many runs in. Also do you pay at the gate or is it pre paid

We will organize payments closer to the date. At this stage it’ll be payments deposited into the SAU QLD bank account to lock in your spot on the list.

We want to keep it to 30 cars so everyone gets plenty of runs!!

In so far:

So how many runs would you normally get at a TnT??

If you got there at gates open and you kept returning to the line and lining up again on a normal night maybe 5 or 6 runs...

It all depends on how many people damage the track (oil spils etc)... Also depends on how many are there...

But all factors considered 5 or 6 would be a average...

So this event with 3 hours and 30 cars could be like 20 runs at least... Given you return to line up again straight away and no one drops oil...

Given a normal night costs $38 for 5 or 6 runs and this is $48 for heaps more, I cant pass up this sorta value... :)

I've had as little as 3 runs and as many as 15 at a test and tune. Depends on the numbers.

30 cars is not may. You will be surprised how quickly they run through. Budget for about 2 cars a minute once its up and rolling. It will be bloody hot so the more cool down time between runs the better.

I would say you could comfortably handle up to 50 cars and every body will get more than enough runs to keep them happy.

I was thinking the same thing Noel, 30 cars will mean there'll be gaps of time where there's no-one on the track, cos you do want your car to have a bit of a rest period in between. We definitely need to open up another 10 spots IMHO.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
