over the whole 3 days i was there i would of had 40mins on the track if that and the track is soo fu#*king slippery in the wet, the rest of the time was spent waiting in line for cruising.

heres a short vid of my mates & i, aarons 180sx, ako's r32, my r32.

We did 2 sessions one in wet and one in dry in a mate's FPV over 2 days and I'd say we had at least 40 mins of track time...

Also didn't think it was that slippery I think a lot of that comes down to factors like tyre choice, car setup and driver.

Few reasons actually:

1000 entrants who all think their car is most important and want track time

constantly changing weather requiriing constant change in program to keep the most amount of people happy

Retard who break rules, requiring more changes

Oil downs, also from retards, making track worse

Eastern Creek and CAMS stepping in at times.

the list goes on

Anyone who has run a national level event, let alone one with 1000 entrants, will tell you it aint easy.

They did the best they could for the situation. A lot of people would have closed the track all day Friday and most of Saturday, but they did what they could to keep pople doing something. Organising motorkhana/drift/thrash demos o the straight was a great idea to keep people amused and something happening.

After all the practice, how cant they have the organization for this SPOT ON?

R33 in the burnout comp was uselessLoved the drifting Total of about 8 holdens broke down or crashed... (yay)only loud riders were the blue nsx , an rx7 and maybe 1 or 2 silviasOne very very diry r32 worth the $35 in my opinionOh and chips and drink was $10? .........

    • 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.
