Hey guys haven't heard much talk about race wars here, wondering if anyone is going? I was booked to go but had a last minute wedding to shoot so I've been unable to go now :(

It is something like 1 mile drag or top speed trials on a runway, so it might be a little boring to some. Hopefully someone crashes to spice things up :)

What: 400m, 800m and 1,000m drag racing / top speed runs. Side-by-side roll-on drag racing from 60km/h for 200m / 400m distances.

When: April 6-7, 2013

Where: Wyalkatchem Airstrip

Also you're are a moron for your "crash " comment

Well that was more a joke ya know like break a leg? But hey your replies were certainly just as mature.

Anyway some mates have 2 cars going with room to spare now if someone wants to go cheap.

I am going. I have always wanted to do a top speed run on a runway. Why should Jeremy Clarkson have all the fun! I was frustrated that there were similar events over East but we had nothing here. I even did my own research on likely airstrips in WA. Wyalkatcham has a fairly new runway of 1600m, so it is won't be long enough to top out and still stop safely, but it will be enough to get scary!

So I am grateful to the guys at Antilag for organising this thing - and they seem to have done a very thorough job.

There is also going to be a display of cars in Forrest Chase on Tuesday 2 April 2013, which mine should be in. I have just been informed that there will be an Aventador adn a GT40 there too. So this is much bigger than a few "rice buckets' as our Falcadore friends love to call us!

I hope to have an onboard camera system installed too (HKS DMR), so should be able to post some vid of me yelling as I pass 250 km/hr!

Cheers. :woot:

Not been told anything on pools yet. Waiting to hear. Mind you, I have not been to get the car scrutineered yet, so maybe they will give me that stuff then. Should be happening on Saturday!

That would all be good if I had a login for their forum. Had a quick look, couldn't find it, don't have time to p#ss about. I will see you when I see you, in whatever group I am in! ;)

Cheers Richard, she's sitting proudly in the lounge room :D

Only did one standing start timed run - 247.7 km/h and there was definitely room for improvement, I was (and still am) stoked though.

Did you end up bettering your 253 run?

    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
