This event is run by the Tamworth Drag Racing Association. Last i heard TDRA was madly saving for funds to build a proper strip at Oakburn park in Tamworth. In the meantime they have been using Gunnedah airport.

Last time I raced there it was an eventful day with some bogan in a t bucket running over the timing equipment and a full drag (cortina i think) V8 rolling a heap of times at high speed. Oh and I beat a late model supercharged Ford v8 ute in my 32 GTST that I had at the time!! Anyway its still a good event.

The drift curcuit is a go cart track at Oakburn Park in Tamworth. It is a fun little track and wide enough to do some low speed drift. The track has been used by Tamworth Sporting Car Club for years for lap dashes ect. The track is home to 'Runamuk' drift club. One driver in particular Bryce Chapman is very good and has competed in the Australian drift series.

I think SAU should hire the track for a weekend. Not just for drift but for a timed lapdash.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
