Dont help this year, but we will be looking at these sorts of events next year... However the k's / $ and relative to distanc hauled is always a consideration. These events are critical, because they are ideal tests for the bigger shows.

Rally Tas struggles... and that is one of the best value for money events in the country. Plus it uses some Targa stages. Why more people dont use it as Targa Test I dont know... yet Targa West Point is fully subscribed. Biggest problem is AASA v CAMS rules me thinks.

You would likely be more in the know than I, but ive heard that due to low numbers its likely Rally Tas will go gravel and be based on the original Southern Safari ARC event (as an ARC event)? Would be a shame, I reckon Rally Tas is a great event, great roads and burnie is a great place to hold it.

What you mean more in the know... You Nav broad minded persons get all the good gos! I feel a bit sorry for MSR as they bought a brand that was on the way down and couldnt turn it around. There is a big conflict when you are trying to run a round of the ARC in Tassie and keep it on Tamac.

I think CAMS needed to tow the Octagon line and not let ego's get in the way... Then we would have one set of rules, and in a shrinking market the best rallies on Tarmac would be supported.

We are just doing a tear down for rebuild... and either build a AASA weapon (CAMS cheater) or CAMS compliant (AASA non competitive) thiing.

Personally I think they both have it wrong, and somewhere in the middle would be good.

Anyhow I digress... The big W is off the gaspers!!!

And I cant wait to do some of these types of events (inc road trip for the crew). Can do 3x per year for the price of Tugga.

in a shrinking ecconomy and budget pull back... I think that is the way to go.

Love the way the Auto Mod changed 5Lut5 to "Broad minded Persons LOL

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
