G'Day all,

It has been awhile since we ran the SAUWA Karting event.

So I have booked the event for Saturday the 31st July at 1900 (7PM) Race Start

Find the Details below.

SAUWA GO-KART Endurance Race

What: 1 Hour Go Kart Endurance Race

When: Sat 31st July 2010 . 1800 Arrival and Race Suit Fitting 1830 for drivers briefing

Where: Wanneroo International Kart Track (Wattle Road, Wanneroo)

How Much: $220 Per Kart ($110 per Driver)

Guys / Girls,

Following a couple of successful Karting events, Brad and I have decided to run another SAUWA Karting event at the Wanneroo International Karting Track. (NOT WANNEROO RACE WAY)

It will be a teams event with a minimum of 2 people per team, with a maximum of 15 teams, so spots will be limited. But please feel free to come out and be a spectator and slag and generally have a good time at the drivers expense.

The race will be a Le Mans start, and then into an hour (1) endurance race.

Teams will require a driver change through out the event. The event is about seeing who completes the most laps over the hour. So in order to finish first, first you must finish.

These karts are the twin engine Pro-Karts and not your ordinary hire karts, Top Speed is close to 100KMH, and I think Mike and I managed a 96.8 KMH trap speed. So we are looking for keen drivers that are interested in a bit of competition as well as a social fun day out

Team numbers will be limited to 15, however as many drivers as you want per team. This will also have an effect on your driving time as well if you have more than 2 drivers.

Teams will be competing not only for forum bragging rights, but Trophies that will be presented at completion of the race by our Brad and I.

For 1st (Mike & Bard) 2nd & 3rd.

There is a perpetual trophy up for grabs for the winners.

Paul & Tom are our current champions.

Now the serious bits!!

Firstly each team will need to place a credit card down on the day of racing to cover their Kart in case of damages. Now I know that this sounds off putting, but seeing as these are the Pro-Karts it is the only way around of driving them without having a CAMs kart licence.

(No clean, smooth driver has ever had any damage)

Bring your own full faced helmet if you want, (they do have helmets available to borrow )

Long shirt / t-shirt and pants as well as closed in shoes (sneakers) is a must.

For those of you that were there last event, you will agree it was a great race with not only some super competition and some extremely funny moments.

Well, Team Ram Rod is ready to come out and revenge its title loss of fast Kart team in SAUWA.

Money will need to be paid to Brad via the SAUWA Event Bank Details which will be handed out once you have confirmed entry via PM.

Cheers

Mike

Haven't seen Tom in ages, hope hes still around to help defend our title. I also haven't seen the Trophy we won ever since I gave it back to Mike for engraving :sick:

Didn't he pretty much win it by hogging the kart? :action-smiley-069:

I linger...

ditto...

Also, I belive we were Team From Behind.... but it's not fitting any more. Maybe "Team Tom" or "Team clearly consist 67% of Tom"

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • 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.
