luddenham after reading up on it, is only 1.25k long only has a straight of 250m, and 6x 180 degree turns, bigat its widest its 8m its thinnest only 6m...

sounds like a kart track or driver training, maybe drift. no pit garages planned as far as I can tell....

The development at CASAR has a 12m wide track all round, lots of pit garages etc... these guys are planning a proper race track, with also skid pan and kart track... they also develop further down the line a community involved recreation park feel, wall climb, watersports, picnic areas, their secondary aim is to have social involvement for the youth and disadvantaged in the area, the track is seen as a good way to fund a community based exercise, its not for profit, so any funds made from having car enthusiasts use the facility go back to developing the secondary aim and/or community based good stuff.

they have some good people on the committee too, very community minded people with experience in helping and teaching disadvantaged youth and the community as a whole... plus they like their racing... I know Brad goes to phillip island with his bike for track fun.

Im not sure how Luddenham is being funded.

I understand it would be considered small, but when i see lots of small tracks in Japan i think hey the more the merrier.

As far as ive herd its a Cams class C track? So driver training, club track days etc etc

They do have what looks like a dedicated Kart track there also.

Im just excited for more facilities in NSW.

It featured in the last issue of the CAMS magazine, p16: http://docs.cams.com.au/Speed%20Read/2013/Speed%20Read%20-%20October%202013.pdf

I'm sure these thing do not happen quickly, it will take a few years to open.

BTW also coverage on Luddenham's upgrades too (P19)

update from the organisers last week. Looks to me like they are a long way off their first track day but I'm happy to be patient.

Dear Crowdfunding Supporters and Sponsors,

On behalf of the CASAR Park team our sincere thanks for your show of support.

Whilst the crowdfunding campaign is now finished, we continue with our other fundraising activities – engaging with Clubs and Sponsors and seeking grant funds.

To date we have raised $42,070, plus Wyong Shire Council have further minuted in their 25th September meeting to sponsor us for $5,000 in addition to the other assistance offered as part of their initial support.

Opportunities for introductions to Clubs and potential Sponsors continue to flow, and we will work diligently to meet with them all and secure their support. Should such an opportunity present itself to you, please be sure to pass on the details.

Our next update will be before the end of the month – look forward to talking again soon.

With thanks,

Brad Wilson

Co-Founder

Wish the DA would hurry up and approve it!

​everything is set in stone, just the government taking its sweet time as usual :angry:

the great news is that it is still going ahead and has everything but the DA's approval.

( reviving an old thread I know... but it's still going strong which is great! )

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
