Couldn't agree more. Thats spoken like someone who has been on the receiving end of the shit fight. Oh wait a min........

You have......

I am with you on an extra Class ie 6, it would be great to see Superlap cars at more events.

There has to be some control on eligability and classes or there is no point having records or events.

Well I am pretty out of the loop, like a lot of people I stopped following this in the last year due to random rule changes. But Scehdule F has been ignored for 3 years now so it's not new. Nor was A, B or C followed at the last "national" supersprint (or CAMS classes for that matter).

depends what you mean by CAMS classes. The classes you run in NSW are made by your state panel. They shouldn't be used in a national competition. Last year was the first time the Aus SuperSprint Championship ran to CAMS categories, albeit Race categories. But I do think there should be National speed event rules if they are going to have a national title. Seems like it would be an obvious pre-requisite!

Schedule C would not be followed as its not a Race event. But the scrutes up here check the obvious aspects of A&B.

CAMS categories are a joke.

Super lap categories are an even bigger joke being run under CAMS.

Every open car is realistically a sports sedan but we can't take a sports sedan to WTAC cause the engine is in the wrong spot.......

But sports sedans have limited aero yet WTAC can have anything......

There is no CAMS category it's just made up rules. Being run under a CAMS permit.

SL needs to get onto cams and have type 6 added to logbook "time attack" cars as a recognized vehicle.

Speed Events do not have any formal CAMS categories. Race Events do. Sport Sedans is a race event category. Organisers of Speed events (sprint & supersprints, hillclimbs, autocrosses etc) can make their own classes. And they always have. Autocrosses up here run different classes to sprints, which up here use the race categories and in NSW have their own "made-up" rules which are made by the NSW state panel. Hillclimbs up here run by historic clubs have different classes to hillclimbs run by MGCC. And Superlap have every right to make their own rules too.

Are all unregisteered vehicles at superlap required to have a CAMS logbook?? Or are they turning a blind eye and hoping nothing goes wrong??

There is no CAMS rule requiring unregistered cars at speed events to have a Log Book. As always, event organisers can specify it in their SuppRegs if they so wish, like MGCC do up here for State & National title hillclimbs; OR in the Sporting Regs as is the case for the Aus Supersprint Championship. Maybe this is also the case in NSW Supersprint Championship, and that's where the assumption its a CAMS requirement comes from.

Superlap are well within their rights not to force cars to have log books. And given they are trying to attract OS entrants, it would make no sense at all to do so.

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
