Yep that's the layout. Here is a video showing exactly how it is run.

And this is one of my own videos showing how the Mountain Straight hill climb is run (however normally the lights are used but they were having technical difficulties on this run lol, hence the flag)

in the first vid, why was the leading car going so slow at the corners when they came around, and the other car next to him didnt catch up or overtake?

I see its a drag race on the straight pretty much, but if the car next to you is slower under braking or around the corner thats coming up, are you allowed to overtake?

lol we all see that track all the time with super cars and assume its pretty open...in reality the chase is blind, off camber and tight...

anyway, its a super sprint not a race; so generally well signalled overtaking is OK, even in corners. But not banging panels or running the other car out of road

Good spot.

For those that are interested, here are the two forms for the Speed Weekend event. Supersprint on Saturday 29th Nov. Hill climb on Sunday 30th Nov. In regards to the relaying of the road where it started to rip up, BLCC has been advised by council that the repairs will be completed prior to the hill climb, however, if this is delayed, etc, the hill climbs will become be moved to the Esses.

depends how modified it is! I entered the SVD class, SV being pretty much unlimited or highly modified and the D being for over 4L capacity ( once you times your cars liters and multiply by 1.7).

type1 is pretty much standard ( exl. 4wd cars).

type2 is lightly modified, like maybe some wheels/safety gear/exhaust/suspension.

type 3 and 4 i think are log booked competition cars? with type 4 allowing race tyres(slicks im assuming)

type 5 are kit cars, replicas. dont think you can go in this one.

type 6 is time attack type cars, so im thinking pretty much the same as SV class, i dont see the difference as they dont explain it well enough, as i assume type 6 is also unlimited mods.

I just got this email...

"Good Morning All
It is with regret that I must inform you all that the Mountain Straight Hilllcimb event for the BLCC Speed Weekend has been cancelled due to Bathurst Regional Council untaking track repairs in the area of Mount Panorama that we would have been using for the Mountain Straight Hillclimb. This event has been repaced by a Flying 1/5th event
Those of you that still wish to participate in the Flying 1/5 will need to email your intentions to me so I can update your entry forms. Those who do not wish to participate in the Flying 1/5th will also need to let me know so I can arrange your refunds."
So the sundays event hillclimb is cancelled and the 1/5th flying event is replacing it for those that want to.
Can i ask what the flying 1/5 event is, any videos of that or explenations as ive never heard of it!

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
