Hi all

I would also like to thank everyone for being so nice and tolerant of me and the big blue taxi. I've always wanted to have a go and this time did it. What a hoot! Absolutely stuffed by the time I went home. Thanks for the organisers they did a great job. I would certainly like to tag along again.

Cheers

Geoff

Guys (and girls), whatever Steve-O says about the Sutton Road facility, I can vouch for - it is an AWESOME venue and will be worth every cent you spend to attend and drive at, even if we can't bring the price down much!

Be warned, though: it is a fairly narrow track with some areas that don't have too much run-off, so if we do end up placing witches hats down on the track to keep the speeds down in certain areas, don't despair because we want people to have fun WITHOUT the risk of getting hurt and damaging cars. Oh, and there were kangaroos down there when we last ran an event there a few years back, which made us pause between runs on occasion because there's not much you can do to get them off the road sections.

Back on topic, once again a MASSIVE THANKS TO ALL OUR VOLUNTEERS on the day. It gave us Execs a few quick chances to get out there and enjoy it as much as you all were too.

Yes, thanks for giving up your afternoon runs to time Nick.

Soon you'll all be seeing a new project I'm working on to automate the timing (still design phase though). More details will be coming soon.

As always I'm slow to respond, kind of like sunday.

Awesome day, thanks to everyone helping to put on another great day. Thanks to Nick for giving me a race at the end of the day. Great to see a bunch of stags out there, now we need to get them on the skid pan. Hopefully my granny driving will encourage them to uphold the stag honor.

Sutton road looks great, very keen for that.

And Steve-o I drive faster when the icecream is melting.

Sorry guys, Presidential duties (like maning a BBQ for 3 hrs) wore me out so I didn't have the time to do the normal videos.

This is the price of being the man in charge. At least you I know you miss me :)

      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/
