The SAU Vic 2014 Go Kart Series is run the last Sunday every 2nd month at several different Karting venues around Melbourne. This year has 3 rounds of racing with trophies/prizes awarded to the top 3 places at the SAU Vic Go Kart Series end of year meet and award night held after the last race.

Rounds are run as per venue rules and points are won just like a 2014 F1 race (without doubles points for the last round) –

1st - 25pts 2nd – 18pts 3rd – 15pts 4th – 12pts 5th – 10pts

6th – 8pts 7th – 6pts 8th – 4pts 9th – 2pts 10th – 1pt

The first round sees the series at the LE MANS GO KARTS Lakeside track. At 650m, the Lakeside track offers hairpin turns, fast straights, tight esses, elbow corners, and big sweepers with plenty of places for hiding and overtaking.

Cash on the day avail tony?

Right now the payment needs to be made before the day so we have an estimate of how many people are coming. But there are a couple of weeks still left before we kick off to work things out :)

Entered and Paid.

Awesomeness!!! Glad to have you on board! :)

Our track booking is for 29/6 @ 12:30pm... There's the induction/safety video etc that we need to watch then off to the track... I'd say we'd be getting in the carts at 12:40pm...

Then we've got a 10 lap qualifying, followed by a 20 lap main race.

It says from 12pm. What time will the racing start? I can only get there about 12:30-1pm.

Odium is right and as the OP says 12pm meet with a 12:30pm race start. Le Mans likes people to get there around a half hour early to make things easier to organize I guess and know final numbers. Hope to see you there :)

    • 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?
