Very enjoyable, ran anticlockwise figure 8 (as per Australian Championship held the other week), with so few entries, plenty of oportunity to work on improving times doing different things.

Only bummer, they closed up shop a bit early (around 4:30) and forgot a hat, so even with factor 30, got a bit of sun burn!

Awesome day. I ended up with a 67.1 but i had to leave early as hayfever knocked the stuffing outta me, just woke up after 16hrs of sleep :closedeyes:

Pity i probably missed anoher 2-3 runs. Would have been good to knock even more time off. Each run nearly killed about .8 of a second so definitely good room to improve. Running the track reverse Fig 8 was VERY interesting, quite different to the other way.

I hear Madden got a 66.x

Must have been the speed-hat LOL :merli:

RACE SOLUTIONS how much did they get paid to do what? good day beside nothing running on time, what is the point in having supp regs with a time line that was no where near it. All so where was the practice session not the stupid bloddy three lap sighting crock of shit. Also the last minute change of what track was going to be run.

Wasn't happy with the change of track layout, really wanted to see If I could improve on my times from earlier in the year.

Other than my car being slow, I enjoyed the day

I didn't read the Supp Regs haha, but ye would have preferred the "usual" way to gauge the mods I've done in the car in terms of time etc. The Reverse Fig 8 was still fun overall though.

Agree on the Race Solutions point. Two events I've been to recently where there has been a lot of time wasted on their behalf whilst they just sit in the 4WDs, especially when people come off. There is 1-2mins before anything happens... If i had some off and was in trouble, 1min is a long time. So certainly room for improvement there & hopefully someone is giving them feedback to improve what they are delivering.

Still had fun overall though which is what matters :thumbsup:

Wish i could've stayed till the end but if gates did indeed close early (Someone said they did?) then probably wouldn't have missed as much as i thought.

Sunburn was sure the word of the day.

The track layout is far more enjoyable than the normal layout. Though I can see that for gauging difference in skill and car from the previous event is a pita.

I've got some great video, the pictures Katie has taken are awesome.

Is that Her Majesty the Queen driving JP's Green S14 there?

:whistling: Yes I had a laugh when I saw that. Timing Katie. Least I didn't get called a queen!

How'd PI go Sunday, spotted the 1:51s, wouldn't have minded being there myself, instead of mowing the lawn at 5kph.

      How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.

      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?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      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/
