Ken is talking about his driveway, he want us all to go around an drift around his place.

Joking aside, it is high time that Perth had a much improved race circuit with drfit circuit and go-kart tracks. I apreciate that the WA Sporting Car Club deon't have sufficient funds to improve Barbagello to the standard required, we can barely hold onto the V8 Supercars, as we have one of the worst cicuits in the country.

The motorplex is an excellent venue, and a race circuit of this nature would be a very good idea. Motorsport is huge in WA and Australia, why doesn't the government provide some financial support for these sports?

I hope you are right Ken, and that we might have an appropriate venue soon.

Its not the standard of Barbagello fault that we are close to lusing the v8 supercars, there isnt anything wrong with barbagello. its just miles from the city and a city that is miles from anywhere else, what else could we get in perth? We have the wrc which is huge, a dedicated drift circuit? thats a bit wishful thinking, c-red and mc motorsport seem to do ok at barbagello. Drift is barely even a sport. Kinda like syncronised swimming

just wait and see who gets to redevelop the land next to the airport. someone has put in a proposal to turn it into a race track.

If you are talking about the proposed F1 circuit from that tosser Roberts then don't hold your breath.

This is the same flogstick who put the SAME proposal up at the old Military Market site in Midland AND the SAME proposal up to the council at the end of Nicholson Rd way.

The guy hasn't get 20c to scratch his arse with and he expects someone to cough up around $40 mil to build it.

What a wanker.:whackit:

As you can see I'm less than impressed with this idiot as he does nothing but alienate the general public against motorsport with his false promises.

Ken

C Red did a good job at Barbagallo but now have big problems arranging insurance thru CAMS ( ie. they don't want to know about drift ) which means that the WASCC won't lease it to Jeff for drift , er , training days.

That , and the hire fee is ridiculous which Jeff has to pass on to the entrants which then makes it too expensive.

Cheers

Not a chance phptf , I just got the paving relayed !

Seriously , there is gonna be a good venue announced shortly which will have some large open bitumen linked with some tightish , perfect for drift style corners .

It is NOT a burnout pad ( go to the plex for that ) and these people have the ability to cover there own insurance.

As I said , watch this space.

Oh , and btw , it will be within 20 mins of the cbd.

Cheers

Ken

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
