I know its early, but MG Car Club have released the registration for 2010 Tighe Cams Hillclimb Series, and entries already open for the Gatton Sprints in March!!! And the QLD Supersprint Series at Morgan Park is always oversubscribed, so if you want to get into that now is the time to call them about registering for the series.

I love Lakeside, but with the state of the track at the moment with massive rocks used as fill right up to the edge of the track on the apex of a few fast corners, I think I'm going to give the place a miss until they sort it out. There's going to be plenty more broken windscreens and damaged intercoolers there if they don't do something about it. I've done plenty of days there over the past couple of years now anyway, so I'm happy to sit a few out.

I think I'll do the Tighe Cams Hillclimb Series next year instead. Got lots of mates who run there and I haven't done an event at Mt Cotton since 2007, and they also have a round at Noosa now ;) No longer have to suck up to the hysteric mob to run at Noosa!I think a 180SX should be pretty competitive in Marque Sports. Here's a link to the 2010 rules and classes as well as the series registration form:

Ben, the raly car class should be fine for your car. I know it says PRC, but its intended for all rally cars including tarmac rally cars. Its a new class too, so new records... :);)

I REALLY want to get onto the track in 2010. I'm just hoping things go my way (which i think they have started to) and i'll be in a position to either buy a GTR, or buy a track hack so i can atleast do something

Everything you suggest looks pretty cool to me mate, need to spice it up a bit I reckon. :)

cool, I should have a home ground advantage (at least initially!) at Mt Cotton ;)

I'm not into street sprints, so I won't be doing them. Too mickey mouse for my liking. Low speed "tracks" 90 degree turns and chicanes don't do much for me. I'll just do the Hillclimb series and probably a couple of other things here and there. I think the Aus Supersprint Championship that's goign to be at Morgan Park sometime next year too.

Join SAUVic so that you can get a CAMS license, and then enter into the WRX Club run Motorsport Championship (SAU Vic piggy back off of it) enter a event at Winton as a Driver Trainee and go from there.

Yeah that's what I'm mostly keen on too. Did my first Mickey Mouse street sprint this year at Wheels on Wide Bay, but although it was fun (because of the group of peeps we went with) it's not really my taste. Every run I had was sabotaged due to the arse clown in front of me in a VN spinning and dragging shit/water onto the track every run.

I ended up getting the major shits and used the armo as a burm to net fastest time in my class. Had to :)

I just posted my hillclimb series registration.

And did a deal on a 180SX to transfer my gear into :rofl: No more zip ties and tek screws! I guess the novelty factor of running a complet sh.tbox wore off...

My motorsport in 2010 will be slowed down a bit.

I'll be doing what I can with a club im in (Southern Sporting car club) but wont be doing the full series next year as I'll be missing a few rounds due to my wedding and stuff.

I'll try and do a couple rounds of the MX5 challenge.

Other than that, yeah it wont be as full on as this year unfort :rofl:

Oh Weevils....If all goes well on the 12th of Dec...I hope you fit in a MRA round for 2010!!

My 2010 year is going to be jammed packed...Will be purchasing a race car very shortly once I decide which one I want

Will be starting off with supersprints,hillclimbs and loads of driver training and then will hopefully dabble in a MRA Round at the end of the year.

I will also doing Race Control throughout the year and will be venturing interstate with Garry Willmington at I-Race Series to do Race Control at one of his QLD rounds cause I wanna see places :D

Plus I will hopefully fit in Navigating at a few Rally Rounds as well

Motorsport FTW.......... :D Bring it on!!!!!! :)

I'm looking for a full on year if all goes according to plan. Will do the full timeattack series at qr, Definitely want to see a lot more of morgan park. March I am going to victoria for 2/3 weeks to run whatever tracks are available, The island, Sandown etc. May I am going to sydney for the Superlap weekend. Plus whatever else I can squeeze in.

This year was a total writeoff so next year is going to pay double. :down:

it never wears off! I bought a second one for a streeter.....

Also old and busted.

Still not 100% what i want to do next year.

Hello kitty needs a few tweaks and some maintenance before it goes out again. I suspect part of next year will be sorting suspension and alignment to suit the new power and then i can start chasing times again.

The new thing will hopefully be drivable early next year and it will get some basic tweaks and just get driven for a bit of fun, maybe a deca or something and some MDTC days.

S13's are where it's at! Except for mine... :)

My plan for next year is to run all rounds of the SAU/WRX club sprints in the 180, so a few sprints and DECA's in the Rex and hopefully get to Oran Park in Jan before it closes.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
