Ok.

The next Round of the WRX Club and also SAU Vic Club Championship is at Winton Raceway on Saturday April 16.

Entry forms available here:

Sup Req's

Cost to Enter: $110.

Driver Training Only: $100 (non timed).

Winton is the best "learning" track on the Vic circuit as there is basically very little to hit and damage a car with, the overall speeds are quite low (most won't get over 200km/hr) and there are minimal gear changes per lap (I usually do 4 a lap!). This leaves you to heaps of time to concentrate on lines and braking points.

It's the perfect track to try and find your limit. You find spins and off track excursions are common here!

It's also the home Track of Team Wang Racing! :(

Some people may be interested to make a long weekend of it as Fridays are open for free practise. $100 for Fridays and you get 20mins of track time every hour. CAMS licences are NOT required for the Friday practise nor things like fire extinguishers etc, so if some people are going to do it and you have been thinking about joining track days but haven't been sure if it's for you then these open Fridays are a perfect chance to give it a shot.

:cheers:

Also - I will quickly point out - I know there are the carrot's of Maserati Club @ Sandown and PIARC @ PI the week before and if you are thinking of missing this round and doing one of those due to costs - this will be the last "SAU Vic Club Championship Round" until mid June.

We are not doing the Hill Climb at Morwell in May as part of the Club Championship.

Because the track surface is not up to grade IMO. People can still run there if they wish but SAUVic's stance is that we won't be encouraging people to do so for safety reasons.

Surely you saw the result of Chris's car. Yes it was a drift day and he was a spanner - but in a hill climb you are actually trying to push faster and it's just too dodgy.

Just cause you won go-karting doesn't make you a hero.......

:jk:

I was going to look at attending this round as a flaggy so as I said if people wanted to go to it then thats fine.

BUT - thats the Hill Climb. This threads about WINTON. Lets worry about Morwell when the time comes.

Ok - this is just over 2 weeks away now so we are going to book some accommodation in Wang for those that want it by the end of the week. Due to getting burnt at PI with accom we need people who are coming to confirm this week or else you can look after yourself.

There is the option of comming up just for Friday night or else staying on for Sat night as well. If you want accom please state your intensions on this matter. Remember it is a 3hr drive from Melb but only a 20min drive from Wang to Winton. From memory the rooms are about $150 per night and sleep 6 so thats less than $30 per night. It needs to confirmed however.

So far I know confirmed for accom are:

Snowman (Fri + Sat)

Bec (Fri + Sat)

Scotman (+1 ?) (Fri + Sat)

Chrisman (Fri + Sat)

Blaise + 1 (Fri)

:rofl:

Please DO NOT post your accommodation requirements here - as the event gets closer this thread will get messy - goto the Accommodation Thread (above link) and let me know there.

Thanks

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
