Happylaps - Queensland Raceway - August 17Th


Recommended Posts

I was talking to some of the guys from QR shortly after the death at Lakeside a few months back. Insurance for happy laps is insane for them and getting worse, my guess is that this has to be done to keep their coverage. Inexperienced drivers, no safety gear, passengers etc. If I ran an insurance company I'd be demanding the earth in premiums.

There's always the if you're inexperienced you don't have go out and try and chase the big fish out on the track you spend the first few times learning the track and your car, also helps if people properly maintain their car and appropriate safety equipment like decent brakes or atleast not run rooted pads. I personally go over my car as much as I can a week or two leading to happy laps or any racing event/ cruise.

have paid all ready to go,hopefully they dont police the 110-120 km as talked about,the whole idea is to give your car abit of a wind out in a controlled enviroment,if the organisers get to strict on speed limits,then it will drive people away from these events,and more prone to do stupid things on public roads,which is not what anyone wants,just a thought. :woot::angry:

is this event going to be split up into a couple of groups as have had a look on the supra site and they have 28 coming along,that means at the moment there will be 45 skylines and supras on the track at the same time,talk about hectic,with that many will probably not get out of 2nd gear!!.maybe something to look into for next time,the supra club are a very enthusiastic bunch,haha,good on them,everone to there own.

Why am I giving said cactus a blowie? Shouldn't it be you giving said cactus a blowie?

Because I suspected you wouldn't want to do that, hence the chances of my putting an rb back into it was slim to none....

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
