Event:
Super Sprints at Queensland Raceway

Description:
This is a super sprint day and our first of several for 2014. You will get 3 sessions of 5-6 timed hot laps around QR.

This is a full track day.

There will be practice laps from 9:30 am through 12:00 pm.

We will then have a break for lunch.

At 12:30, we will be briefed and then onto the track for our laps.

After the success of our last track day I'm expecting this one to be just as entertaining.

Location:
Queensland Raceway

Date:
Sunday 2nd February 2014

Time:
Be there by 8:45am for a 9:30am start.

Cost:

$150 for members
$175 for non-members

You will need a timing chip which can be either bought from QR or rented for the day. They cost $80 to purchase and can be used at any timed event held by QR. You can rent them for $20 for the day with a $60 deposit which will be returned to you at the end of the day.


This has been ridiculously well priced. When you consider that the open sprints alone are $175. You're getting a 3 hour practice + 3 sprint sessions for $25 less. Bargain!


There are only 20 spots available.

From today until the 11th of January, we will be releasing the event to members only on a first in best dressed basis, after this date, we will open the remaining spots to anyone. If you reserve a spot but haven't paid and submitted your entry form by the 21st of January your spot is fair game.

So if you want to guarantee a spot get in quick.

If all 20 spots are taken we will start a reserve list of people to take anyone's place if they have to pull out for any reason.

This will be a great way to get some practice under your belt before the QLD v NSW State of Origin Track Day. :)

Requirements:

  • Completed Entry Form and Money paid by due date.
  • Helmet
  • Timing Chip
  • ABS & SRS systems may be disconnected at the driver's option
  • Drivers must wear non-flammable clothing that fully covers the body from ankle to wrist to neck
  • If vehicle is road registered or road registerable must meet the roadworthy requirements of Qld Transport
  • If vehicle is not road registerable it must meet the applicable Racing Car standards below
  • Fire extinguishers, when fitted, must meet AS1841 standard and be secured to ensure they cannot injure the driver in the
  • event of an accident.

Double check dates in the Post Tony, you said "From today until the 1st of February we will be releasing the event to members only on a first in best dresses basis, after the 1st of February we will open the remaining spots to anyone. If you reserve a spot but haven't paid and submitted your entry form by the 1st of March your spot is fair game." But event date is currently SUnday 2nd Feb :)

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
