How long do we have to get entries in? My stanza is off the road getting an L20B but time to finnish screwing it all together is sparse. I'm hoping to have it ready within a couple of months because I have to finnish painting my r31 thats sitting in the shed first. Too many projects, not enough time.

Does the car have to be road registered? Myself and two friends have built a supercharged gemini for motokarna / autocross events. We would like to learn some contol on this vehicle before entering into serious events. Can this vehicle be entered? We can make it appear to be road registered!

Also would like a rough Idea on how this event is filling up? When is the latest I can enter? (Yes I know earlier is better)

Sending my cheque and form tomorrow....

In regards to accomodation: I may be able to offer free squatting to anyone with a tent and sleeping bag on a friends block of land. This is in Merchison 1/2hr drive from Shep. I will be there, but will still hit the 'saloons' of Shep on Sat night with you guys!

Also, I've been to the skidpan/drags but never had the car on the track before. Will there be any form of tuition for beginers (ie instructors giving pointers etc)? And the main concern; is there much of a chance that I could completely fark my car up (not that I plan to go too hard)?

INASNT & riggaP: There are plenty of spots left and you can enter by PM'ing me your e-mail address.

As previously stated, this is NOT a training day. This day is designed to have fun with your car and is NOT a race/track day. But i am sure that if you ask other entrants who are more experienced, like Andrew (snowman), they would be able to give you some basic pointers.

There is always a chance to fark up your car, just like any other cruise. On the GOR you have the armco's (metal barriers) on one side and a cliff face on the other. At Macedon you had trees barely 2 feet from the road, on either side. Not to forget the amount of crap (mud, dirt, loose stones, branches, leaves, etc, etc.) on these roads. But has anyone farked up their cars, no because they drive within their limits. At DECA there are trees near the short track, but you would have to loose it pretty damn hard to hit them. There are other events on the day that utalise the massive skid pan, it is hear that you can go all out without fear of hitting anything.

JUST REMEMBER WE ARE ALL THERE TO ENJOY THE DAY AND HAVE A GREAT TIME.

1. Not sure. Current count is about 40.

2. Not sure what you are asking hear, but the day is planned to be a fun relaxing day for the entrants, with no pressure to become competitive.

3. You wouldn't ask such a question if you had ever run an event as big as this. Venue hire, insurance, flyers, club notifications, time tables, bbq, drinks, track layout, etc....

4. Car with a full tank of fuel, money for accomodation, food, etc., and whatever else you take on a cruise.

  • 3 weeks later...

Finally got my receipt back after 4 weeks. I was getting worried their for a second.

Al, I Was wondering if their would be time to change rear tyres between events. For example I would like to put crap tyres on for the skidpan and good semi comps for the circuit etc.

Let me know.. I should have a small pit crew to help.

Thanks Jarrod, saved me the trouble :)

Sorry about the delay :Oops:, unfortunately i have nothing to do with the financial side of things.

Well i am bringing up my four stockies as i do not wish to wear out my 19's at $500 a corner. :)

So i hope there is time, but alot of people will be doing the same thing, so there should be enough time.

LAST MINUTE ENTRYS ARE STILL GOING TO BE ACCEPTED AT THE GATES. SO IF ANYONE ELSE HAS NOT REPLIED TO THIS POST JUST ENTER AT THE DECA GROUNDS.

I am about to leave, so i will not log on till i come back.

If you wish to contact me just call my mobile: 0427076490.

PS: My company phone is bared from SMS'ing, so i will not be able to respond to any SMS messages.

C YA THERE!

Alan

    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
