Bit of a bugger for peeps with new cars. I think JAFFA is giving the drag opportunity a miss for this reason.  :mad:

I reckon the day cruise through the victor hills would be a rocker :(

Still... a track day would be damn cool! :D

GFXman

GFXman and JAFFA, the hole point to having a private track day to ourselfs is just that. "Private"

you dont have to worry about anyone from Holden taking down

your VIN number and then voiding warranty.

so please consider ;)

MATTRESS-I think someone quicker than me should do the tea and scones thing so when we drag they will have time to have it all ready before i get to the end.  

hey count me in anyway.

For something different can we have a "who can do the 1/4 in reverse the quickest" or "who can do the most drifts in a 1/4" or "who can do the longest burnout down the 1/4"

If you do i will make the tea and scones for ya:lol:  

:lol: Matt, with the track all to ourselves you can even hold a scone eating contest! :)

John,

Thanks for your input with this track day mate, much appreciated! :uh-huh:

I would go a crew but prob not take my car and race. reason being need good drag tyres or its up in smoke for me and dodging walls is not fun in my car. considering i know it does 12s with good tyres and prob 13 without ide rather wait for getting good tyres, eg M@H drag tyres. Either way ide come anlong to help u guys out in any way i could with advice mechanical tips etc. Even John needs tips every now and then cough "SOFT KAWK" hehe Munro. :]:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Again .... you know you can count me in .... I would rather do pure 1/4 mile runs with printouts .... full track racing there's too many opportunities do drive a tad beyond my driving abilities and put it into a wall :D

Either way I'll still be there though :)

The first street meet will be happening on the 6th Oct. For information you can ring the raceway directly but alas i dont have the number in front of me.

Oh watch out for a green HB tory with a small block in it, i will be crewing for that car :)

Lee

Yeah I've got that number - 82808154 Not sure if it's manned during normal business hrs or not though?

Here's the offical AIR site AFAIK - http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Garage/8034/

2nd November is the next street meet which is the same weekend as the Extreme Horsepower show weekend

so I for one cant make it and Dec is a long way off.

I think if we can hire out the track then lets do it set a date up and I'm sure we can get the ppl.

what do you all think?

Henry,

I'm still dead keen! We need to contact AIR & find out what they require from us to book us in? Then we can select a date that suits the majority.

    • 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.
