Hi all,

While the rest of the Exec team is organising the Show and Shine, I've put together the next skidpan day - lets get back to the skidpan/runway in 2010!!!

Event: Texikhana, Skids on Sundays

Location: Nirimba Airfield/Tafe/Skidpan/same place as last time (yeah its got a few names)

Date: Sunday 31st Jan 2010

What is it: Skidpan + Go-to-whoa

Lunch: Free to entrants (BBQ and cans of soft drink)

Spectators: Free to watch, BBQ will be $4 snag sandwich and $2 cans

Passengers: Free, MUST sign on, wear wrist to neck/ankle clothing with enclosed shoes and approved helmet

Courses: Released on the day at sign on (the super tight one from last gone wont be returning, ever)

Those of you that have been to one of these before will agree, this is the best money you can spend as far as driving time for an event. The event will be run after run until 5pm, and considering most runs are under 1 minute AND that we're kicking off at 9am, thats a lot of runs :)

This is a safe event where you only go as hard as you want to, there's no pressure, one car on a course at a time. Perfect for beginners to have a first try at driving their pride and joy off the streets.

With that said, there's usually some friendly competition towards the pointy end of the field from the ACT guys which is great to watch ;)

Timing for the day;

Scruitineering/sign on starts 7am

Scruitineering/sign on ends 830am (dont show up at 825am, come with plenty of time to spare)

Drivers brief 840am (mandatory attendance all drivers)

Runs start 9am

Lunch approx 1230pm depending on how the day is going

Runs stop 5pm

Gates close 530pm

Entrants please note:

-All cars must pass scruitineering, no exceptions.

-All drivers must be licensed (AASA or CAMS) and show licence at sign on.

-All cars must have an insurance approved fire extinguisher secured within drivers reach.

-Sidepipes are not allowed. Screamers are also not allowed. No exceptions (this is not my choice, I ♥ gate)

-Entries are open now, entries close 9am 27th Jan 2010.

-Supp regs and Entry Form are attached. Entry forms without payment will be rejected.

-Yes you can join SAUNSW on the day (allow an extra 5mins at sign on)

-Yes you can organise an AASA or CAMS licence on the day (allow extra 10mins at sign on)

Paid...

And paid for show and shine at the same time.

Please let uncy duncs know my money for SNS is in. Description "MBS206 Texi + SNS"

Form to come

Edit: And no fire extinguisher needed this time?

Well im going to pull my finger out now and im going to enter my car in..

I have the next two weeks off.. so it looks like ill be working on the car to get it ready... (i know its still a long way off..lol)

So count me in... going to join saunsw this week.. will organise payment early in the week!

SWEEEEEEEET!!

Ill pay and all that junk early next week. Car wont have epic tilt with new suspension..

On a side note I stripped the thread of a wheel nut today and need to get a new one.. any idea where? nothin fancy just regular wheel nut.

Hmm, trying to decide if I can do Video and participate... will be in one way or another.

Go to a tyre shop sometimes they'll sell you just one. Otherwise auto parts store but I'm pretty sure the only sell in sets of 4/5.

    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
