Haha Artz, yes general idea is to aim for sand then turn at the last minute... I only stuffed one part of that theory up...

As for faster cars, exactly as Artz said, you can just get out of their way and they won't care about you. On that fatefull lap for example, Artz could have eaisly stayed in front of me through the strait and then pissed me off around the corners, but he just pulled over and let me through, no hard feelings on either side. Don't worry about going slower, as your skill and confidence grows, you may end up passing them one day!

Winton is such a good track for beginners too. Max speed last time I was there was only 160iirc.

Hrmm you guys have started to sway me to go!

Top speed tracks isnt a problem for me, I just don't confidence yet to carry speed through a corner. For some reason I get afraid the tail might come out mid way through a corner rather than being afraid of understeer.

But yeah I'll keep an eye on entrants, if it's low and not 100 entrants i might enter!

jump on board guys, winton is a great little track to learn at. if you've done one session of DT you've done enough. the only way to learn is experience and winton is by far the best track to gain some

So after Garage Cafe last night

Highly likely ill do Winton

What are the Garage Hire prices like? Anyone hiring any?

Also anyone driving up in the morning from the South East? Could drive up together. Nohomo.

Gates upon at 7am so would have to get up at like 4a.m :/

they don't have garages as such, but they have a heap of undercover sheds:

and they free

I'm going up the night b4 so remind me the day b4 and will hold a bay for you

Will do! :thumbsup:

Also see Martin wearing the MS long sleeve there in the background.

I will endeavour to get these off Ryan and bring them along.

Where does one acquire these MS long sleeve shirts?

Aim to be there 730. Generally we turn up around 745-8, but the earlier you are, the better car ports you end up with.

I will be making the trip in the morning as well.

drive up the night b4 is the best way to do winton, I'll be going up after work - 7pm knockoff on fridays is a PITA at least I can drive straight from Epping

anyone want to meet at the epping BP servo at 7ish for cruise up?

Hrmm sup regs say gates open at 7 and then Scrutineering at 7:15a,m

Last weekend at Sandown I head the scrutineers cracking the shits at the Wrx organisers as no on was coming on time and making things run a little late

drive up the night b4 is the best way to do winton

Yeah I won't be able to make it up the night before unfortunately

    • 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?

    • 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.
