Twilight Club Sprint @ Calder Park - Feb. 5th

[adznight]

wtf are they?

You fashion victim you.....:wavey:

[Downforce]

Yeah but they may require an external tow hook because your car may be burried in a sand trap. I dunno. I know you can get external tow hooks - I personally dont want to have to get one however.

I've got a nice shiny red tow hook for mine, haven't fitted it yet.. You can buy them at Autobarn.

[Roy]

Andrew, when you meet with them can you put out the feelers to see about vacant spots etc etc. I havent been able to get my cams lic no, so havent posted my applciation yet. Ill have to ring Geoff today/tonight and get the form away.

[Downforce]

Roy, just put TBA for your CAMS license number on the entry form and send it off. You will need to present your CAMS license booklet on the day anyway

[Roy]

If that will fly then ill just do that:)

And woohooo.

Just spoke to housemate, and my Spitfire coild packs arrived this morning, hello 1.3bar without misfire:whackit:

[Ant97GTR]

Roy.....I fitted SPLITFIRE coil pack to my line last year...was missing really bad around the 5k mark at 15psi....now running 17psi with no miss all the way to red

[Roy]

Yeh, with my wiring loom out im soldering in my AVCR scramble button so it will be 1.2bar then 1.4 bar for the occassional hit in a straight line. Problem is im In Adelaide with work, and not having the greatets of time getting al the parts i need and time to finish the car.

Fingers crossed that this weekend the car will be back on the road:)

Has anyone confirmed the tow hook requirement?

[Snowman]

For peoples info - as of last night there were 35 entries. So still 35 spots left but they are starting to fill fast now. So if you haven't got your form in and you are thinking of joining us then do so shortly.

Also - as a super new cool toy for those dorky minded out there - the WRX Club will have available a wireless up to the minute race time monitor for anyone that wants to bring a laptop along. All it really menas is that you will get to see the times as they happen rather than waiting for the print outs.

http://www.racetime.com.au/rmonitor/

will show a directory listing with two files - setup.exe - around 730k and instructions.txt.

Anyone wanting to have Wireless Access needs to download the two files - read the instructions.txt and run setup.exe.

For anyone that is concerened - the RMonitor system will be installed ONLY in the directory nominated by the user (we default to c:rmonitor for ease of identifying it). NO files are installed in ANY other directory.

They will confirm the IP of the result machine on the day.

[Downforce]

I hope they harden the result box and lock down the wireless setup... I might see if I can hax0r it just for fun

I dont need the IP, I'll find it myself

[Scotsman]

I'll also bring everything required to access this. It's a pretty cool idea.

[Downforce]

Very cool indeed. I wonder if it will be like the live telemetry race data supplied by telstra which they had setup for bigpond cable users during Bathurst this year.

[Roy]

Can someone confirm the fax no in the first post is correct?

[Snowman]

Its 9739 1578.

[GTRgeoff]

[Roy]

If you were an alarm clock, how would you wake your master.... I wouldnt im no ding-a-ling

[Snowman]

Ok - we met a few of the people last night. Seemed a decent enough bunch. We even ran into our good friend Tony Peter (Black STi)

We covered the few little quirky bits of their sup req's.

Tow Hooks - skylines have hooks under the front of their cars. This is acceptable. Nothing else is required.

Shoes - its seems they are a little more fussy on shoes than most people. They like the shoe to at least have a leather upper. Either that or you need to have fire proof socks.

Extinguisher Mounts - the spot that many of us have used in the rear seat is fine. But they wont be accepting any plastic brackets - nor any brackets that have been attached with either pop rivits or with self tapping screws.

I think that covers most of it. Still plenty of spots left. Not long to go now - Im getting excited.

Oh - finally - if anyone would be able to help out with Flagging for this event could they let me know.

[GTRgeoff]

A few points. They surely mean fire retardant socks as fire proof wouldn't fit in any shoes. Mine are cotton drill uppers over cotton socks (go the dunlop volleys), much like the cotton clothing I wear as fire protection and meets all other sprint event sup regs. I'd agree if the shoes were to be fire retardant and they were consistent with other clubs. What's so special about these guys.

Since the self tappers and pop rivets are out then I'm getting the chewing gum ready, didn't say anything about that. Honestly, have they taken any engineering advice on this? Most of us have just one seat bolt through the mount and a self tapper, so will that fail scrutineering? If I use hex head self tappers I bet they won't check. Christ, aircraft are held together with self tappers and rivets.

Flagging...their party...my money...do you think I'm going to wave a flag for them.

If I sound a bit grumpy it's possibly due to the amount of panadeine forte I've consumed over the last 2 days, but mostly because they are being unreasonable.
