What options do sprint type cars have up this way for events besides heading to Eastern Creek?

I read there's a couple I short hill climbs, one around Telegraph point north of Port Maquarie and another at Raleigh Raceway.

I see Raleigh also runs a drift series but I'm not into that.

I've read that Newcastle could be getting a track too as there's some planning talk over in the Motorsport section.

Is there anything else up this way? I'm enjoying my holiday up here and just seeing what options there are for my Sil as EC is a bit of a drive, as are QLD tracks.

Also, any club level rally up here?

I think there are a few rally clubs but more dirt - no tarmac?

Check out Monarco Performance - Geoff there is a member of the hunter valley car club? I think...?

MG have a hill climb at Raymond Terrace - that is where they are planning on the new race track.

otherwise king edward park has a hill climb once a year...

EC isnt that far.

Im on the central coast and have gone to Wakefield 5 times this year

I guess im spoilt, Winton is only an hour away and 3hrs gets me to sandown/Calder plus DECA in shepparton is 2hrs, Wakefield around 3 in the other direction. I'm in Albury Wodonga mind you.

As for port/Newcastle

Wakefield is a bit far to go, EC is a few hours from Port, less from Newcastle and I wouldn't go any closer to Sydney. 2hrs is bearable.

The hill climbs all look really short. I've only dug up footage of the lighthouse point one and it barely had 2 decent corners.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2

      Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
