Exactly.

I was told this last year as there was a "slicks class" thread so I came to a couple and I know Paul did too but still nothing happened.

So we went to Maserati and PIARC days instead.

But I'm asking again. I mean the Racepace R33 GT-R is now on slicks and they are a club motorsport sponsor but there is still no facility for cars with slicks to run in our motorsport championship.

SO if you look in the championship for last year there was an open class, but was only listed on the rounds themselves

However people only turned up a couple of times so was not worth doing a trophy/putting on the front page.

if we get 2-3 people at a few rounds I'm sure we can turn it into a proper class and arrange trophies

I'm sure no-one want a trophy for turning up to one event....and being sole person in the class

Just put the class up from day 1, make it conditional that 2 people need to have done two races.

It's the class is front page, everyone can see it... And there is no 'default' if people don't make it.

Problem solved?

However people only turned up a couple of times so was not worth doing a trophy/putting on the front page.

Surely it doesn't matter how many cars? Class D - Std 2WD was just Ben and myself with 4 other cars doing a single round. I'd have thought a fair proportion of the member base would have cars fitting into that category.

That said, one thing I like about doing the Maserati and other days is the variety of fast cars. Having some open class cars gives spectators something to come watch. f**k knows they're not coming to watch a prius ;)

International and National events from the 1st of July, for track, tarmac and off road events, and then from 1st January 2015 this also applies to all state level events, but not club level at this stage.

Look like I'm not going to be able to do my DT till later in the year, the rims I bought ended up being the wrong offset (would have been handy if the skyline owner I bought them from told me this!) and I have had to use spacers so no go on track for me :( But am working on my BMW with RB conversion with hope to have it up and running by the end of the year (even if it just putts along! :P ). But if there is anything along the lines of helping out for any of the track days please give me a yell. :)

is this SAU round 3?

Not sure if admin error but only 40 entrants on the list. Also not sure because Porsche club and Super Kart club are invited.

SO back on the topic of open class.

there is now an official Class E Open class so enter and make the most of it.

    • 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. 🤞
    • I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat 
    • I saw your intro update, are you sure you've actually had a starter motor failure? You mention it could be the alarm causing it. I'm assuming you've got a no start issue, but what are the exact symptoms, as there could be a few reasons it has stopped wanting to start.
