Well after napping most of yesterday afternoon I am now alive after a great weekend up at the Winton Skidpan day.

Thanks to all the competitors for a great day with no issues and to the committee members and everyone who helped out on the day. Days like this can't run without you all. We have a few things to tweak be I am sure we will be back next year for at least one event.

Here are Video's from Martin taken from the side of the track, if you wish to post these on social media please credit Martin Sullivan for his work. Anyone who want's to use them for business or promotional purposes needs to seek permission from Martin AKA @emts

If you have any video's or pictures fee free to post here.

How did this compare to the events at DECA in the end?


I.e skidpan size, track time and such? Amount of runs?

Realise first time there's some kinks to work out but what was the vibe in regards to the venue?

skid pan is similar size, no back track however.

that said it's cheaper to hire so we are keeping entries down so you just get a heap of runs.

 

as for how much entrants got on Sat, we closed the pan 45 Min prior to the end of our hire time as every-one was out of tires or fuel...

so I call that successful.

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
