Dunno if anyone here is interested in V8supercars but they're my bag baby....

Personally im hoping that Seto can get up with Craig for his first Bathurst crown....

... but im tipping HRT and Skaifey to be on the pace from the word go although i wanna see Ambrose and Ingall decimate everyone on the day with the pace they've shown all year.

How are you tipping to win?

HRT one two if it rains purely because of skaifys and kellys skill and if it rains you gotta give jim richards a good chance to get up there. other than that I think ambrose and ingall will be up there but think ambrose will be doing as much of the driving as possible. I'd like murphy to be up there simply because he has had rotten luck lately and still has performed strongly.

Disclaimer: I am a Holden fan so I may show SOME bias :)

Hrmm its not gonna rain I already checked that. I'm thinking of going up to watch for the entire weekend... we'd be leaving 6am saturday and sleeping in our cars or where we are sitting (turn 1) and then prob get home like 10pm sunday nite.

Not sure if i wanna go yet coz it'll be a $250/wkend and i wanna go to the CRD Dyno Day (to watch the great race on tv instead of just watching cars go around 1 corner). Hrmmm decisions...

Watching it on TV would never compare to actually being there though. I would love to go oneday...

Anyway I'm going for Skaifey, Richards, and Murphy. But I think If Ambrose and Ingall don't have any bad luck they they'll win cauze Ambrose has just been a class ahead of everyone else this year.

In Adelaide theres motorsport on from 6:30am to 6:30pm and then Moto Gp on late at night! yay!:P

Yup at home you get to see teh entire race track, at Bathurst you get to see the 1 corner 161 times haha.

If you're going up there, just leave the 'line at home...the bogans haven't forgiven us for group A yet....

IMHO, home is the place to watch anything - big screen, replays, no crowds (unless u want one), and plenty of beer in the fridge :P

anyone know where you can bet on the race?

At home online at www.sportstab.com.au and also at www.centrebet.com.au

Sportstab is easier to use but CentreBet usually has better options and odds.

Television doesn't compare with actuallly being there. I don't care much for the V8s but i went to the 24hr last year which was great. Up the top of the mountain you can walk around almost half the track. You can stand at Skyline and get your ears blasted as they downshift before the chicanes and the next day the sounds and smells are still stuck in your mind.

The thing that puts most people off V8s is that Holden vs Ford bullcrap. All the guys who get fired up about that are just ignorant bogans.

Poor old Larry... at least as team owner you only have to kick your own arse when you drive into a wall. Its a shame coz I'd love to see either Larry or everyone's hero Jimmy carry off a huge upset victory :)

Sha-zaaa!

Pfft, they're no more falcons and commodores than the Aussie Legends are. They're all just controlled sports sedans these days.

Yup stupid gate, if the concrete wall continued right around the corner their'd be hardly any damage.

Yeah, thats what you get with street circuits, on permanent circuits they can plan things like run-offs properly.

Of course, the other thing that sucks about street circuits is that 99% of ppl can never race on em, Bathurst is only used as a track 2 weekends a year :)

BTW, I hope to god winterbottom can catch that smart arse Luff :D

    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
