A normal Wed nite is 5pm-10pm and u can expect 4 runs but usually get 5. But this fri is 2pm-10pm (although 200 entrants instead of 120) so i'd say expect 6 but probably get 7.

:D

Edit: What does your car/plates look like?

Racing starts at 2 or are the gates open at 2??

Last time I got there at 2 and gates opened at 3. Did get 5 runs and I would have had 6-7 if some fool didnt run over an official early in the afternoon and then at the end someone went into the trap at the end

Ben I should be there on Friday, come say hello if your there, I'll give you a call. By the way, that was me who called you last Friday nite.. hehehe

I'm pretty sure that the racing starts at 2pm instead of 5pm and the entrants has been increased from 120 to 200. Nothing is listed on their website about this but it looks like just a generic message for all of their street meets.

Somehow I volunteered myself to work on friday so I might head down afterwards depending on the weather.

I will be there watching.

I cant believe that WSID are changing their roster in winter!

Instead of having a street meet every wednesday night, from may they are having street meets every second saturday, from 11-5!!!

Quote from www.wsid.com.au

"Winter Street Meet Mode

WSID will be switching to winter off-street mode for its Auto One Street Meets, presented by Pennzoil, from the beginning of May.

Through the months of May, June, July and August the off-street events will move from Wednesday nights to every second Saturday.

This will see off-street events being run on:

May 8

May 22

June 12

June 26

July 10

July 24

August 7 and

August 21.

These race events will see gates open at 9 am with cars going down the track from 11 am to 5 pm. Due to the increased hours of operation the entry numbers will be extended. Once we’re back in the warmer months in September the Auto One off Street meets, brought to you by Pennzoil, will switch back to every Wednesday night."

surely at least a few of you on here are racing!

Got myself a helmet today, but the car seems to have a now-n-again miss... plugs havent been checked for a while, could be dodgy fuel.. oh well not too bothered, just really interested in a ballpark time for my car.

benm; my car is in my avatar, dont really want to directly post my plates here, but they have been mentioned elsewhere on the forums.

btw anyone know how long it would take me to get there from macquarie uni area?

cheers

Nah sorry saving myself for the 14th.

Try resetting your ECU, it only takes 20mins and it can't hirt.

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
