great job as always to the willowbank staff and to the club for organizing this event...

each year is grows and from what i saw there were plenty of smiling faces...

it was nice of them to let me run against some cars again this year, its always fun...

the r35 was a solid run and so was the green stagea, you both were on my heels...

my best et of the day was a 10.910 @ 134.5mph

my best mph for the day was 10.923 @ 136.8mph

all in all i had 13 runs, all were between 10.9 & 11.2...

(except one 12 second run where i hit neutral at the 1/8th)

so very happy with the consistency...

even with the front wheel in the air I still ran 11.1 and 11.0...

it was tough to get the power down off the line, the bike would either skid (which is fun) or would lift the wheel (which is also fun) but neither are fast ways of getting down the strip...

next time im setting the tps to 100% and going for broke (9's here we come)...

i copped a bird in the head at 200'ish... track staff had to go pick it up...

LOL!

Like Fabio on that roller coaster:

That R35 was rad.

High 11s stock-lovely!

yep thats the one...

i saw him coming in from the left, knew it was gonna hit me so i tucked right in an turned my head to the right a little while looking down

then "bang" was like a stone into the top of the helmet

i didn't want him to hit the visor, i was afraid a bird would smash straight threw it and you cant stay up right if you cant see anything

Here are some photos and videos from the day

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
