The Wakefield Park website has a calendar that lists the events, clubs and contact details for the first few months of 2016. Either you can grab the data out of that or I will at some point.

I'm a week or 2 away from being ready to get back on the track after a couple of years away.

February 20, 2016 – In a first for the ARDC and SMSP, we will introduce the ARDC TWILIGHT SUPERSPRINT SERIES in 2016.

These events will be held on the Gardner Circuit (GP) and will go from 5.30pm until 8.30pm on a Saturday night:
– JANUARY 30TH
– FEBRUARY 20TH
– APRIL 2ND
– OCTOBER 22ND
– DECEMBER 10TH

ARDC Competitor Members are given preferential treatment regarding entry to the event – they are given two weeks to enter before it is opened up to other CAMS sporting car club Members.
The overall numbers able to enter these events will not be nearly the same as a full day event, so it is not quite so overwhelming.

These rounds, along with the three CAMS SUPERSPRINT CHAMPIONSHIP rounds held by the ARDC, also make up the club’s annual Supersprint Championship.

Competitors please note: All information on this event as it comes to hand will be available on the COMPETITORS PAGE. Registered competitors will also receive all updated information for ARDC Events via email.

WHAT IS A SUPERSPRINT?

A supersprint is a speed event where cars are sent out onto the circuit in pairs to set their fastest single lap. The pairings are sent out at 10 second intervals, with the fastest pair at the front to minimise overtaking. It is not a race – in fact, anyone found to be “racing” is sent straight to the stewards.

Cars are divided into seven “types”.
– Type 1 is for standard registered road cars.
– Type 2 is for modified registered road cars.
– Type 3 is for touring cars and production sports cars which can be modified as per the Improved Production regulations.
– Type 4 is for sports sedans.
– Type 5 is for open wheelers, sports/racing cars and clubman sports cars.
– Type 6 is for time attack cars.
– Type SV (Special Vehicles) is for road registered kit cars, modified road registered cars and other cars running on slicks.
All types have classes within them loosely based on engine size.

The whole field (usually about 100 cars) is split into colour groups based on potential performance. This ensures that fast cars share the track with other fast cars, and slower with the same.

A run is eight minutes on the track, and each competitor will get about five or six runs.

At the end of the day, each competitor’s fastest individual lap is compared with every other driver to get an outright result and with every other driver in the class to get a class result.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
