Might I just add there are still 25 spots left because all you "ill pay soon" people never eventuated.

We will all enjoy sutton road immensly with more runs than we can count because we sure as shit are not coming back with the lacklustre entry list so far of 19

Hi Mick, I got your entry and forwarded to Aggrodave tonight.

James, me too, it's a good event, but I guess the club exec can't keep running events if they don't get the entrants.

Anyone wondering about whether to try it or not....give it a go, you'll have a ball :D

hmm, unfortunately it is looking like I will have a saturday afternoon soccer game so I wont be able to make it, unless it gets changed to Sunday at the last minute. sucks cause I was looking forward to it :-(

Brendan here - I'm the mate with the Commodore sweefu spoke of earlier.

I am in for this, and will get the payment and entry form sorted sometime today.

Thank heaps for putting this event on! I've driven past this track twice everyday of the week for the last 4 years, great to be finally able to give it a crack!

Thanks Duncan,

I can't believe that there arent more ACT SAU'ers interested... Everyone down here knows how awesome that back track at Sutton Rd is and how rare it is to be able to get on and drive it! :(

Was thinking the exact same thing. I thought maybe they think it's the skidpan we have rented - but I've been pretty clear it's the track?!

What time is everyone leaving on friday to head down?

Also, do you exec fags want me to post up the event on Autocult>?

Go for it. You can do an event coverage type thing afterwards too if you want?!

I'll be there around 2pm at the motel

Wish I could join but I am to worried about my clutch at the moment.

I was wondering if you still needed people to stand on the corners I do that pretty well haha

Would be more then happy to chill out for the day and watch sweet cars rip it up.

The mg club have it booked for Sunday....

They used to do (still might, not sure) a quarterly event there on the skidpan, as far as I'm aware it was never the track though.

Yes we do actually! Thanks for that, come on the day :)

I'll probably be to busy driving to shoot/cover the day. Kory the skirt is busy playing soccer or some gay shit. I'll probably bring down my camera and take a few shots but doubt there'll be enough for a post. If there is I'll put something together :)

POST IS UP. LINK

A few questions after watching that video linked from page 1 for the 200th time:

  • does that bloke get air over the crest at one point in the first half of the course?
  • is the course going to be set up exactly like it is in the video?

I'm keen to know if we are going to see enough straight road to get into 4th gear at serious speeds.

Forecast for Saturday is looking good! -2 over night...shiver me timbers!

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
