ENTRANTS ARE NOW GOING TO BE ACCEPTED ON THE DAY!

But to make things easier please PM me your e-mail address and i will send the entry form, so that it is complete on arrival.

** DUE TO MAJOR EVENTS OCCURING AROUND THE PREVIOUS DATE, THE EVENT HAS BEEN MOVED TO THE 6th JUNE 2004! **

Northern Street Cruizers (and myself) apologize for any inconvenience that this change has caused. If someone has paid to participate on the previous date and are unable to attend the event on the new date a full refund will be given to that person.

Due to the unfortunate SAU Crash late last year, this event was lost. Now that the date is closing in I have decided to repost the event, as in the previous thread people mentioned it was tooooo early to commit to.

NORTHERN STREET CRUIZERS PRESENTS

DETAILS:

DATE: Sunday 6th June2004 (new date)

VENUE: DECA driving grounds Shepparton

TIME:

- Starts 8:00am

- Finishes Approx. 5:00pm

COST:

- $50 per car

- Spectators welcome

Events: (Minimum 2 runs per course [trying for 3])

- Circuit

- Wet & Dry skid pan

- Go-to-whoa

- Burnouts

- Figure 8

- Club Battles (time based)

- Drifting

- At days end, each car will be given 2-3 mins to cut loose (by themselves) on the huge skid pan (time permitting).

General:

- The participants will be split into 5 smaller groups and will be using different circuits simultaneously.

- Prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place. Based on the total times for each circuit.

- Club "perpetual" trophy: All clubs select 3 drivers to represent them and their times will be added together to determine the winning club.

- BBQ and drinks are available at a very reasonable price.

- MUST HAVE A CURRENT DRIVING LICENSE AND CAR MUST HAVE REGO.

TO CONFIRM POSITION A NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT OF THE FULL AMOUNT ($50) MUST BE PAID AND THE "ENTRY FORM" COMPLETED AND SIGNED. It is only when you meet both requirements that a spot will be reserved.

FOR ENTRY FORMS CONTACT CORRY (NSC club president): 0418103392 or PM me and I will e-mail one to you.

PS: Just consider this:

Many people (including myself, twice) has paid $120 to have a GREAT day with Kevin, from Driver Dynamics, at the Police Academy skid pan. Unfortunately the only event is sliding round in the same circle. Compare this to the events offered above, for the cost of $50 :cheers:. This is going to be a GREATER DAY! :headspin:

PSS: May organise a cruise to go up on Saturday, 5th June, afternoon and spend the night. We will hit the clubs/bars have a good rest and wake up ready for a day of FUN ;)!

ooooooooo... its soooo tempting..

oo ooo ooo.. but i dont know what some of the events are... you dont have to be involved in all of them do you??

do you need a helmet??

NO helmet required

You only enter in the events you feel comfortable in, but you have access to ALL events with the entry fee.

- Circuit: Timed lap of a small track with varoius shicanes (sp?) (tight corners)

- Wet & Dry skid pan: Huge, vast space with a course laid out using witches hats. Parts of the course will be wet and other parts will be dry. This is all about handling.

- Go-to-whoa: Small straight. The fastest person to finish and stops in the required markings wins.

- Burnouts: No explanation required :P.

- Figure 8: A small track in the shape of a figure "8". Great for drifting, but 2 years ago the track was pretty rough.

- Club Battles (time based): The times of 3 elected cars, from each club, will be added together at the end of the day and the best times win. The cars will be elected at the begining of the day.

- Drifting: Done on the Huge skid pan. Without exageration (sp?) this skid pan is BIG. Roughly the size of a decent Plaza car park (without the obsticles :))

    • 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 掳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掳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.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150掳C (0.407v) and 50掳C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20掳 out in the region of 110掳C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4掳 out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
