Thanks for these

was thinking of PIARC but off to SAU Karts.

There is also PI with AROCA but I'm out of town as I scheduled a Thai holiday to be back for cancelled WRX event

Tampered, will consider this as it's just been raised, even if Winton was the last event

Maybe I need inspiration and use this time to plan something different, drive try Tasmania, Sydney MSP, Bathurst Regularity etc

CircuitClub are out at Winton on 13th July.

Hey Peter what sort of turn out do they get? Good bunch of people?

I went back to Winton earlier this month after our SAU round and got down to a 1:42.6 from the previous 1:44 so I'm super keen to go improve on that again!

hmmm.. circuit club.

Do I need a fire extinguisher?

No, however you may carry one if you wish. There are fire extinguishers located at various points on the racetrack and the location will be made aware to you during the drivers briefing.

Is there scrutineering?

No. However you need to ensure that your car is safe and in good working condition.

And if the driver doesn't check their car?? :unsure: I'm sure they are a good group of enthusiasts, but these two points raised an eyebrow.

You guys aren't serious are you? Not like they're checking brakes or for oil leaks?

Scruinteering usually consists of brake light check, boot empty, helmet sticker, fire ext date and battery is clamped in. If you get some OCD type, they'll ask where your valve caps are....

I'll give the day a shot (at my own peril of course) if I can find the time.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • 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.
