Antilag Racewars 2014 - 12Th & 13Th April, Wyalkatchem Airport


Recommended Posts

Antilag RaceWars 2014 dates have been released today, it will be held on the 12th and 13th of April once again at Wyalkatchem Airport.

Last year was ridiculously fun and I can't wait to wind some boost up, drop some kilos and better last years efforts.

Anyone else planning on going?

More power is definitely required, seems I've got some quick cars chasing my title.

650 - 700 Sarah Jessica Parkers should do the trick I think ;)

will be entering

shooting for 650 - 700 whp for the event

hoping the 6 speed gives me a bit more pull in the top end

just booked my accommodation tonight, get on it lads isnt much close by around.

haha thats where i booked, ZZM5 has also booked at dowerin Hotel.

however am hunting down a house within close proximity of the track, so if we get house will just onsell the dowerin hotel rooms.

Hi, folks.

I enjoyed myself this year and have a point to prove next year! I have booked my accommodation in Dowerin just now. I hope it is not quite as hot and they iron out the kinks in the schedule. The organisers did a great effort for the first year.

Still learning to drive, it would appear!!!

:blink:

whats the point you wish to prove?

More to myself, than anything else. For lots of reasons, I stuffed up and ran in low boost all through the Saturday. Then on the Sunday I only managed two runs on the 1000 metres, because I was flying out that night and had to get back. The first one, the timing didn't work and I had a good indicated top speed. The second one, I stuffed the start and one gear change and the timing worked. So, I came away with the overall feeling that I had not driven the car to its potential. I want to do that this time.

So that is the point I want to prove to myself.

LOL I no own a 31 , 34 is just about finished :)

Weak :P

I only had the one run at 1,000m myself, I certainly had an average start and a short shift, could have gone faster but doubt I could have pulled up in time, haha!

1000m = need good brakes.

Got to around 230-240 and felt "pretty" safe with hard braking.

Yeah, I think I'll need my 6-pots for if I ever get to 260-270 :P

Entry is in! Looking forward to it - and hopefully not as much waiting around. But then, that is always going to be the case with an event like this. They do say that in motorsport, one of the phrases often used is "Hurry up and wait"!

Hope to see you guys there. :action-smiley-069:

    • 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.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
    • Yeah, I guess its pretty easy to get to if this doesn't work. Just wait till next oil change and pull it out. I am going to have to do the oil pan gasket soon and thought I'd just replace it while I was there.  Thanks
    • All that matters is you're safe and you were able to type that post. Hopefully heaps of parts you can recover for the next shell.
