The thread title says 2-4pm

Is that race time?

When do we need to be there by and do cars have to be checked over before running?

My car will be finished on the dyno at EFI Performance on Wednesday, so hope it all goes well.

Hey

As todd has not replied as yet ill jump in and help...

2 til 4 is race time, so with this in mind you would want to be lined up at the gates around 1:15pm - 1:30pm as they let you in around 1:45-1:50pm or there abouts...

From the front gate you drive up to the start of the staging area, you will see a couple of people sitting behind a table under a little shed...

You need to stop near them, take your paperwork and helmet to them... They will inspect your helmet and ensure it mets the current Australian standards...

Then you will get your fore arm stamped to show you have signed your forms and they will walk back with you and put a number on you car...

Usually the rear passenger side window (using a white marker, easy to remove the next day)...

After that you drive forward to the front of the staging lanes and wait further instruction...

As for the car/bike, they dont check it over... The helmet is the important one for them, as all our cars/bikes are registered they assume a relative road worthy state is present...

Hope this helps...

whats this paperwork you speak of?

Do we get the required paperwork on the day at the front gate when we get there?

Thanks for info

Yeah, just bring a pen...

You will get it from Todd on the day to fill out while we are waiting at the gates...

Its a simple personal details form and sign at the dotted line...

Just bring a pen, as usually the hold up is people waiting for pens...

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
