I would like to get into hill climbs and sprint days round symmonds. But it seems you need a cage in your car for most things here. And my car wasn't ready when the LCCT had there street car shoot out :)

Yep hire the track for a day is $99 per person if your not a member of a club.

Motorsport Tas are amazed at the turnout and hope to hold more events soon, and while its still hot on the press (next 6 weeks). they are also talking about making the track a bit safer to run in reverse.. ie make pit entry safer so you don't get what happened to Adams car on sunday.

gonna be sick!!! time to work 24/7 on my car!

do you need a harness? And where do I get info on events and what not?

I've only checked the LCCT and it said that you need a cage

no harness just an international standard seat belt.

read close and you'll see it only says the cage is recommended, not compulsory! its worded this way for insurance.

send me an e-mail and i'll forward you some info on events and stuff - [email protected]

Hopefully without sounding like a wet blanket... if you intend doing speed events like hillclimbs etc with any regularity, and especially if you're going to try for every last tenth, I'd strongly recommend a cage and at least basic safety gear. I know that for many it seems impractical or expensive but when things go wrong (and unfortunately things do sometimes) it's too late to change your mind.

It's about more than rules and reg's.

If you don't have the safety gear just take it easy and treat it as fun not competition. Racetracks, cars, speed etc should be treated with respect not blind optimism.

I encourage people to take it to the track, but keep things in perspective and use common sense.

Stuart,

Whats the cost involved for a CAMS licence? ive been told $450, i already have officiating licence for F4 Flag Marshall, S4 Scrutineer, V4 Rally/Offroad, J4 Specialist and U4 Gen Comp Area.. i dunno what i can use them for tho as atm i only do targa, but i know a drivers licence is different tho

Yeah very interested in getting my CAMS as well so i can get into racing maybe??? Although after the weekend maybe have to get into drifting instead!!!

An L2S (Supersprints, hillclimbs etc) licence is $66 from memory. That’s for a year, but to participate you also need to be a member of a CAMS Car Club - TDRC, LCCT, HSCC, NWCC etc. TDRC membership is $40 I think.

For the state and national circuit races and series you need what’s called a National Circuit licence, I just got my renewal (and lost the paperwork already!) for this and it is about $400 + medical ($100) + Car club membership.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
