OK guys time for another update.

The event is on this Saturday, here are some more details regarding the event:

Gates open at 9am, racing starts at 11. Getting there earlier will enable you to get your car setup and scrutineered and ready to race when the track opens.

When you arrive at the gate and fill out your entry forms, you will need to select only ONE class to enter.

The classes are listed on the event flier posted above.

Entry to the Top 8 class will be open to the 8 quickest cars on the day.

There will be a test and tune session from 11am to approximately 1:30/2pm. There will then be a break for lunch.

After that the event will go into eliminations for each bracket and the Top 8 shootout will also be held.

It says racing from 11-4 on the flier but depending on the number of entries, the event could run over time to 6pm for example.

There have been a number of confirmed entries for all classes along with a number of quick cars interested in the event, so it is shaping up to be a ripper.

To keep an eye on the weather forecast for the event, use this link:

And look at the forecast for the Bendigo area. The weather around Heathcote is often very different to Melbourne.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
