Howdy all...

Saturday 28th March 2009.

Now those of you in this scene who have been around for a while, will know that booking Eastern Creek is hard yards… getting a weekend date some say is “impossible” but we have been fortunate to infact secure a date for Autosports for March 2009.

We do infact have two other weekend dates for 2009 although I am not able to confirm the additional dates till after the New Year.

•The day is going to be run with official timing

•The day will have 6 driver trainers (including John Boston)

•Cost is $275 per driver

•There is strictly 70 positions with no exceptions

•14 cars per group max

•5 groups running 15 minute sessions

Gates open at 7.00am

We will have allocated pit garages for every position at no extra charge.

All drivers are to be ready for the on-track briefing which starts at 8.00am sharp. This will include your group infact driving onto the track with an instructor to infact stop and get out of the car and look at the various conditions for each corner… you will have the instructor explaining the best approach to apex’s and braking markers.

At 9.00am sharp the experienced drivers group will start their first session.

At 9.00am sharp the newbie groups will go into the upstairs rooms and receive further instruction about the track and how to get the most out of it as safe as possible.

By 9.20am the newbie’s driver training sessions upstairs will have finished and the second group will be out on the track.

We will run the group sessions all day and will not be stopping for lunch.

•Payment needs to be made within 14 days of booking or the position will be listed as available to others (we have to pay for the entire event upfront)

Now i know that March next year sounds like a long way away... considering that we have Christmas coming up, then the New Year break most people will not be back to work till Feb 09. I also will be out of the country from December 28th 2008 till January 31st 2009. I have to pay for this event upfront to suffice the desires of Eastern Creek management. I want to have this all arranged, booked and paid for so i am not going to be worrying about it come February next year.

Couple of other points;

1.Once positions are booked as stated above, I require payment in full within 21 days. If payment is not made the confirmed and reserved position will be cleared and offered publicly.

2.Should someone for any reason whatsoever not be able to attend after making payment, the position can be transferred but only after officially informing me personally so i can make sure the payment records are in absolute order.

3.Passengers are not permitted under any circumstances

4.Driver trainers are available to all patrons at no additional charge

5.Official timing is provided at no extra charge. Times will be recorded and posted up online before the end of the day

6.Spectators are permitted at no extra charge. No children under the age of 16 are permitted in the pit area without adult supervision.

7.All drivers must bring there own helmet and be wearing suitable closed in footwear as well as long sleeve shirts and pants.

I am absolutely stoked to be able to confirm this date... I want to make sure that the organisational aspects are first class so that i can secure more events for us at Eastern Creek.

Marty will probably ask me anyway as I am involved in the day.

The Radical should be allowed but not your car Michele, sorry.

Your car Michele is an open wheeler and is not allowed on the circuit with sedan cars. The Radical has all 4 wheels inside the body work :)

This is 90% certain but will confirm with the person who is putting there insurance up for the day.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
