Interesting thing with tac. Years ago I had a stack and broke my leg on a road registered dirt bike at a motorcross track. I wasn't going to bother trying to claim tac but the doctors at the hospital insisted when I told them the bike was reg'd. I filled out the forms truthfully, expecting to get rejected but surprisingly they came to the party and covered my medical costs and  85% of my wages till I recovered.  Was very surprised indeed. Felt like a major win.

i think you can eliminate the noob part of both of those scenarios, because as many of us have learned (particularly martin lol) that tyre conditions are very important and even skilled folk can make errors.

At the end of the day, no one is forcing anyone to donate. there are plenty of gimps on gofundme and patreon and stuff that are just looking for a payout. and if anyone wants to give their money, well then thats their loss. hmmm maybe its a good way to launder...

That's interesting. What insurance did the event have? Obviously running road legal tyres? Did TAC ask for any specific info on the bike?

re the crash.

from my bored searching

dude in the 350 is running mid to low 30's   so proper semis and is moving.

the other due from the last 2 events I can see he ran is low 50's...ie slow

 

from the natsoft results I see 350 guy got in 5 laps b4 for the incident.
other guy got 0..

 

so one wonders if they didn't send a slow car out in the middle of a bunch of fast cars in middle of a session.

 

 either way it sucks massively to have an incident, clad they are walking away.

but get ambo cover if your going to track your car and yes from experience , don't go hard till temps are up. else you will have a bad day.....

Wasn't an event, I was practising on a Wednesday avo at Frankston motocross track. Tac didn't ask questions at all. Got a letter from them about 4-5 weeks after lodging the claim telling me it was accepted. Bike was a Tm 250 2t enduro running on knobbies. Full road reg for enduro eligibility.

the mrs got me f1 2016 for fathers day (the dog is my daughter, managed to con f1 2016 out of her, get leesh to buy you xbox one brah :D) been playing that a bit, shit is pretty intense and realistic with tyre wear and strategy etc 

came 4th on my first race on expert, there's another couple of higher settings you can pick that must be quick as f**k

changing fuel maps and DRS while driving good fun too, you can do diff / downforce / braking changes as well, pretty complex game

The month trip to Europe negates all presents for the next year :)

    • Go to SP mufflers and get the muffler of size you want and make a nice mid muffler. It's about that simple! I have 2x 3.5 Magnaflow straight through Mufflers and while it's pretty loud with the Varex open, it's quiet enough with the Varex closed. You can also buy off the shelf Magnaflow straight through mufflers as well. You also have a turbo to quiet the car down too. Don't overthink it. Buy my extra Magnaflow muffler sitting on a shelf doing nothing (buy it new, ignore this part)
    • Centre-offset muffler under the floor, same as stock. Just....3.5". The change from straight pipe there to centre-offset will mean that you need to remake some of the pipe (add a bend or two).
    • Hey guys. So my R34 GTT has a custom 3.5” exhaust (done by previous owner) with a high flowing cat, and then just a Varex cannon muffler on the back. The car does drone alot and is really loud even on highway driving just cruising, as you can imagine due to the Varex muffler basically being a straight through with the valve open. As much as i love a loud RB, it can be a bit much with no other muffling in line and just driving casually. I wanted to lower the volume output on the exhaust a bit, as well as remove the drone (probably a way to do both at once), and was going to do it all myself as I am a fabricator and have done exhaust work in the past, so the fab work isnt my issue, im just not sure on the right product or type of product to use to get the job done, and i doubt an exhaust shop would be wanting to help me as they wont be making any money from helping me, unless they supplied the product? Anyway any help or guidance in best way to approach this would be awesome   Thanks in advance
    • Meh, whilst the Honda is a "really" good car and has potential if you want to drop coin on, it was uninspiring for me to look at, but, it did serve its purpose and is now in the boys hands, his happy, his girl is happy, as she wasn't to keen on the noisy old Patrol, and most importantly, the Minister for War and Finances is extremely happy that her "little baby boy" (6'2 nugget who is currently training to be a copper, which will make 3 coppers in the immediate "circle of trust") has a well sorted reliable car that doesn't guzzle diesel Me, I'm more than happy with the NC MX5 that I replaced it with, it's a fun little car that I like looking at, like driving, and yes..... I do like the fact that the maintenance and modifications that I have done/will do are plentiful and relatively cheap, well........ while staying naturally aspirated slow that is, and that's all I really need for a fun little daily, I can rev the 5hit out of it rowing through the gears and never really break the speed limit  In saying that wicked word, "modifications", I've already ordered something for some noise and an additional "3 ish" horse powers, or whatever it gives, in the form of a header, and, a new set of "cheapo" BC coilovers that are already sitting in the shed waiting to get put in, I had the same BC's in my old NB and found they were fine for the street, hwy, and the occasional track days I did in it, they have 6kg front and 4kg rear springs which is about 10% stiffer than the stock springs which I found worked well for their price  I've also already been in touch with MX5 Mania in Dural, so once the header is on it will get a ECUTek RaceROM tune there (I cannot rev match for 5hit, and I loved the RaceROM rev match and FFS in my old 86 "RIP") In other, maintenance news, I put some new sparkler plugs in it, and have a new set of DBA Street series pads to put in over the next day or so, I'm running the DBA street series in the SS and Honda and really like them, they work great and are not dusty at all I've also booked in a few days leave over this weekend to give me 4 days weekend do some paint correction and give the leather seats some conditioning and interior some Bissell and steam cleaning OCD lovin', the carpet and interior looks clean, but from my experience with the Bissell IRT carpet, and the steam cleaner IRT trim, looks can be deceiving I've also found that finding a detachable hard top is proving problematic, the main reason why I didn't like the NC initially was the power retractable hard top that I seen them with gave the roof line a weird look, the detachable roof though looks good, and is a same shape as a NA/NB hard top, similar, but unfortunately not the same as it has different fixture point on the front, so fitting a easy to get NA/NB detachable hard top is no bueno New Old cars are fun, cleaning, hunting and playing around brings much joy How are your beasties going? Do you still have the Skyline with the LS???, or Barra??? that you were playing with
