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!

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
