Okay ladies n gents, the event is full! A big thankyou to all those who entered and showed interest in this day, it is great to see an awesome turnout with a variety of cars!

Alrighty, I will keep this short and sweet

8am to 8:40am - Scruitineering & Sign-On

Gates open a lot earlier than 8am, so please be there ready to have your car scruitineered. Below is the scruitineering form which will be used on the day, so please use this prior to be sure you won't have any issues. Please can i ask all driver entrants to print this out and bring it with you on the day!! The scruitineering area is a shed closest to the road, outlined in my very artistic map below! :D

PLEASE ENSURE YOU TURN UP TO SCRUITINEERING WITH CAR READY, YOUR HELMET & DRESSED AS YOU WILL BE FOR THE TRACK

Sign-On will need to also be done during this time by all drivers and passengers. This is done in a shed next to the marshalling area. There is a seperate sheet for driver and passengers!! I believe it is a BLUE sign-on sheet for passengers!! Just let the staff know!!

8:45am to 8:55am - Drivers Briefing : TO BE HELD IN THE CANTEEN

This is simply a short but very neccessary breifing on the day and expectations from drivers. Also information on track etiquette, flags and requirements for the day. ALL DRIVERS ARE REQUIRED TO ATTEND!!!!

9am - Fun Begins!!

First group out will be Group 5. We want to 'mate' all Group 4 & 5 drivers up with an experienced driver for their first session, just to give some helpful tips and suggestions to help you out.

We will review how the day is proceeding and make a call on stopping for lunch or not, otherwise we will try to continue non-stop so use your breaks to refuel to keep your energy and concentration up

GROUPS

We are running 5 groups, 10 cars in Groups 1-3 and 9 cars in Groups 4-5. See list below, now i have done my best to sort it out but if you do find on the day you are out of 'sync' with other cars in your group, come see an official and we can sort something out.

SESSIONS

Now with 5 groups we will be running 12 minute sessions. So you get 1 session an hour which is plenty! The 12 minutes will include out and in laps, taking this into consideration, it should mean about 8-9 minutes of 'flying laps'. Now in Wakefield terms, thats about 5-8 laps depending on your times, which is plenty of time to get that blood flowing :woot:

MARSHALLING AREA

This is simple, if you hear your group called up, you need to get your cars to this area, ready to be released once the group on the track is finished. So it is a good idea to keep track (pun intended) of which group is out, so you know how long you have!

PLEASE, no general parking in this area!!!!!

DRIVING INSTRUCTORS

There will be a plenty of us around to hop in and help out! we may just come and plonk ourselves into your car, or just simply indicate you want someone to come in with you!! Most the driver ed's will be hanging around the marshalling area. We will identify these people during the driver briefing

PASSENGERS

For those already paid and listed, you will be issued with a wristband! For anyone wanting to take advantage of this great experience on the day, there will be someone roaming around accepting $20 payments, if in doubt just ask :)

WRISTBANDS

We will be checking every single driver and passenger for a wristband before you are released onto the track, so please no dodgy stuff!!

FOOD & TOILETS

There is a canteen which do food and drinks and toilets are located next to marshalling area as well!

PHOTOGRAPHERS

We will have some pro's there on the day, so stay tuned as we are currently finalising costs and details for a great package!!

I think thats about it! So double check, triple check your cars, review the scruitineering checklist and lets get ready to have a blast!!!!!!!!!!! :D:banana::D

PS. Take WARM clothing, it will be ffffrrrrreeeeezzzzzziiiinnnggggg :yes:

* * * Exciting News * * *

SAU:NSW will have a club photographer at Wakefield offering services at amazing rates.

The SAU:NSW executive team has been hard at work negotiating with a photographer so that we can offer reduced price, high quality photos on a DVD for you to remember the day with. It's a win-win situation, you get great quality photos super cheap and help to support local photographers.

Imagine, these could be photos of your car!

(Actual samples of Tenchi's work - he will be our club sponsored photographer for the day)

How's it work?

At the track there will be a sign up point where you can pay $20 as a member or $30 as a non member to sign up. Sign up consists of self addressing a CD/DVD mailing envelope and signing in on the photography clip board. You need to make sure that you clearly identify your car so that the photographer knows to look for you. You will need to list your name, address, car make/model/color and racing session number.

Within 30 days we will mail a DVD out to you with all of the photos from the day, not just your own. What a great way to remember such a fun filled day and get some great action shots of you driving your car.

Cost:

$20 members / $30 for non-members. Payment only accepted in cash on the day.

lol i'm in the fast group.

Should be interesting considering the time was done in my last 200, but the pirate ship should be able to do something similar provided the driver pulls his finger out

As stated in initial post, if you find you are out of sync with the rest of your cars in the group within the first couple of sessions, come see me or an official. We will see about shuffling.

The day is not a supersprint or a timed event so don't worry too much. I don't expect everyone to be going 10/10ths. If you find you are hounding the car infront, don't push the issue, this will only lead to disaster. Simply slow down, give yourself a decent buffer then get back on it.

I have allocated groups from info provided, understandably there may be some discrepancies, but we will do our best to accomdate you on the day! :D

Red mist can be dangerous stuff! Anyone remember Oran Park South? :D

Hi Ando,

I wouldn't worry about the experienced driver being with my mate in Group 4. He's raced before. He used to hold a decent level cams license (I think he let it lapse) and is the chief engineer for that little lotus that came 4th at Superlap.

How much time is there in change over between groups. I am in group 5 and he is group 4 or are we running in a different order? Thinking of cooling for the car, tyres and holding people up.

Looking forward to this!!

cheers,

Nathan

Hey Nathan,

Yeah no dramas with him needing an instructor! Its for the first timers :D

Um there is no delay between groups, you would be literally pulling in, changing drivers and heading straight back out..... It 'should' be fine though, Wakefield will be cold, make sure you do a couple of cool down laps, then the couple of minutes handover should give the breaks a breather! Plenty of cars do this and a couple are doing it at this day already. As said, just nurse it for the last couple of laps and all good.

That said, if you find the car is not happy with running back to back sessions, come see me....

      Hello fellow enthusiasts

      Not too sure just yet, want to have a go at doing what I can myself, but to start with want someone to cast their eye over it tell me what needs doing to get it running and back on the road, so anyone with great overall knowledge would be ideal.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I personally would go with cutting out the rubber. Then deal with getting sleeve off separately. Rubber can be painful to cut, it loves to jam up cutting tools. I normally have success with drill bits, deburr bits, angle grinders, jigsaw, reciprocating saw, and never forget... fire. Obviously different tools won't work in all locations you're trying to work with, and you need to be comfortable with each. You personally may be happy slowly slicing it out with a razor blade, if you are, go for it with one too! Feel free to wait for others to weigh in also on their thoughts.

      Rear subframe stay bracket bolt removal issues

      By DatsunBanana · Posted

      So ... I got everything disconnected and started dropping the frame. Three of the four mounts started to come down but the fourth one (the one with the nut that gave me all the trouble) won't budge. The inner metal sleeve stays up tight against the chassis rail although the outer part of the mount drops a bit (and can be levered quite a lot more) but it's just stretching the rubber bushing. So I reckon there's some serious corrosion inside the inner sleeve and holding it tight to the lug at the top of the bolt. Tried everything I can think of so far: penetrating oil, whacking the top of the sleeve to vibrate it and wedge a screwdriver blade in there. I also tried to turn the inner sleeve a bit by hitting it with a chisel at the bottom. It's stuck solid. What do you think about cutting the rubber with a blade so I can drop the subframe around it anyway. Then worry about getting the inner sleeve off after? Will that work? Is it gonna give me even more problems?

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By hypergear · Posted

      Steam valve seals are usually responsible for cold start smoke, it goes away once engine warmed up. Disconnect it let engine breathers and let it breath freely, see if problem goes away after a short drive. Also check to make sure engine oil drain pipe is not blocked or kinked.

      Haha thanks! Yea I'm moving over from 2x 1000cc jets pre throttle over to 6x 190cc direct port jets and 1x 500cc pre throttle jet.  Direct port comes with all the advantages you would expect, except that pre throttle does cool down IAT'S more. That's why my direct port nozzle placement is closest to the plenum as possible in the runners to allow the air more time to cool before being sucked in. I'm also putting that one 500cc pre throttle jet to help with more cooling. It's a hybrid system. There's a lot more advantages to moving over to a PWM solenoid with a constant pressure system vs my old PWM pump setup, but I'll get more into that once I'm done converting everything over. The ricer in me is excited to see SS tubing all over my manifold though!
