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

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
