Hey all.

I've decided I want to run the my Stagea down the 1/4 mile at Tarmak Dragway. I realise I need a CAMS licence to do this. How do I go about getting one? Also is there anything else I need to know?

Any help would be awesome.

Thanks guys.

Zane.

On the Tarmak website it says "ALL vehicles must have a catch can for radiator overflow. this is additional to the standard one." What exactly does this mean? And it says entry is $45.

Here's my aftermarket Aluminium Radiator Overflow Tank. I got mine from Embelton Engineering In WA.

Cool. How much was it and what exactly did you ask for? Also how do you get in touch with those guys?

Thanks heaps for the help.

umm although you have a a catch can you need to have something which catches overflow, (Ben your catch can from embleton still has an overflow), what most ppl do is take the overflow pipe and a 600ml coke bottle and drill a hole in the lid jam the pipe in there and stickytape it there. simple!

oh and its an ANDRA licence i think you need, you get that on the day for about $10.

dont brake the stagea!!!

it is $45 plus $10 for the day license, all you have to do is rock up and pay. i ran my car last time round they dont really check it at all, and i only have the standard overflow on my radiator. when in comes to the safety check, they TELL you to tick them all, even after you tell them you dont have it..hahah (great for their insurance). :flamed:

      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.
