*|aunch puts his hand up for Jamboree attendance :D*

Just as an aside, who will be heading out to the Queensland 500? It is on at the Willowbank Motorsport area (basically, same place as the Jamboree), but the week before. The whole show goes from 13-15 of September, with lots of different support races (Formula Ford, Porsche, MGF Trophy, Saloon Cars, Sports Sedans). Should be a good couple of days... I can't wait to see the V8's get out and stretch their legs :D

*Someone Please Explain*

Can I enter the actual event? I know I do not have the quickest car but if its based on ET's times I would be keen on entering.

And yes I read the whole http://www.jamboree.com.au/ Web site but could not work out weather there is a ET class.

I also noticed

quote:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"7.00 AM- 1.30 PM Drag racing time trials Session (1) (NO race cars permitted)"

And

"2.00 PM Drag Racing time trials Session (2)(No vehicles with treaded drive tyres permitted)"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So is the whole day based on the fastest or ET's?

As mines an Auto I know pretty well what I will do down the quarter.

Regardless I am going.

Would also be a great day to do a Photo Shoot.

Not to mention a good time to have some sort of Flyer/Card/Sticker to entice new members.

MRE Glad to see you haven't written it off yet. I believe the comp is bracket racing but I could be wrong. You can print out an entry form from the Jamboree site I think it was $50 + you pay for the day licence and crew member at the gate. Come join the fun I'm expecting Birty to organise a cheerleader squad. :D

Answer for MRE

If it is like it has been in the past....You will have the morning to see how the car goes and work out a time. Then when the racing starts you will have to nominate your dial in. Then its just a matter beating the other person to the line without going over your dial in.

Don't set the dial in too low or your head start will be slashed against cars that are faster and you will not beat them.

Basically this is about consistancy not outright best time.

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
