Is there also rumblings about partial refunds for competitors this year? I can only imagine the money which has gone down the drain for no event this year.

I'm going to try, if enough of us get together we'll have a better chance.  I think only 14% of the event was run

No idea at this stage.  I would like for them to go back to AASA.  The 200k limit is a joke, as all the incidents have been well under 200k.  This year was the first time I was checking my speedo on a stage, as I don't fully trust that the rev limiter won't overrun.

 

The problem is more when a car comes off the road that the GPS can't get a signal out cause the car is upsidedown or the antenna has been ripped off.  It then relys on car to car comunication, which can also fail depending on distance from the road and antenna damage.  I think there needs to be a failsafe that if a unit stops talking back to HQ that a stop and look for car instruction is sent to following cars at the last known location.  There is probably better ways, but the discussion needs to be had.

Yeah hopefully once everything has calmed down and reviewed they will come up with better procedures for rallysafe & incidents.
Having to always check speed is dangerous but at least stuff with efi/after market ecu can set limits.

While I think you've got SFA chance of actually getting money off them, I would hope that they would offer a significant discount on future entries. Despite the event not running in a competitive sense, I don't think the costs to the organisation will be much lower so from their point of view I don't think it will be viable to hand over any cash.

looks and sounds great, and I'm glad you weren't going easy on a borrowed engine

[sav man]

I do owe Golly some Bacardy and will have to get round to pulling the engine out soon.

[Roy]

Mint footage!!!!

 

Any plans to get over to the mainland anytime soon?

[sav man]

After the shit show that was Targa I lost all motivation for a while.  I'll put the big block in soon and replace the Haltech with a Motec.  I don't recon I'll make it to the mainland till next year, but challenge bathurst does look cool.

[Duncan]

Challenge Bathurst is worth it, even at the price. Its a track that can't be missed

[Roy]

Did either of you two get entries in for Challenge Bathurst? I am solo Vic entrant this year as the rest of the usual Vic crew hurt their vaginas

[sav man]

I didn't try as the car won't be ready.  But don't you need a current entrant to invite you to get accepeted?

[Roy]

This year its sounding like they have a waiting list. So may be a stronger turn out this year.  Bathurst is more Vette country

[Roy]

Good work in the Vette!! So what happened to your original 32 shell?

[sav man]

I've still got the og shell in the shed and the new shell is almost ready to race again.  I've got a Motec M150 in the car and just sorting a driveline vibration and putting in 10mm fuel lines then it will be running again.

[Roy]

Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?

[sav man]

It's the same ABS unit from the old shell.  It was all just lifted and shifted.  I am looking at the BMW MK60 ABS unit as a budget upgrade, as I'm not keen on handing over 15k for a Bosch unit.  

[Roy]

Been looking at the MK60 too but looking at a few options for my shitbox
