LOL.. just came back from there.. good food :)

big p00f drag racers all running off at a hint of rain :)

Good to meet you guys today :P, lets do it again some time (the drag day not the wet bbq)

Big poof drag racers?That's a bit harsh,init?I thought it was the officialdom that canned the day for all & sundry...even those of us trackday nutters that drove 3 hours to watch a different type of motorsport that still involves our favorite brand/s of car. So...anyone else feel ripped off that not another drop fell AFTER the day was postponed?!?

:P

you missed lunch Jase

Yep,I couldn't get near a 'puter 'till just earlier...Stoopid me for leaving earlier :( ! Still,I'm assuming I also missed a whole day of racing,had it gone ahead. Whilst a trackday would've gone ahead,no matter the conditions,it's a a right royal pain in the proverbial that the powers that be canned todays' meeting. Still,I"ll probably still do six hours return drive to watch 'Lines hurl themselves down the strip at WSID! Who made the call anyway? I know it's more Mother Nature's fault,but it's gotta suck being the person that canned a day that didn't receive a drop after it was pulled...meh;bring on the next day!! :D

Yes Duncan the following comments are directed towards you.....

Maybe it was pulled by people who didn't travel 6hrs to be here, or book 2 nights in hotel to attend. Or, hang on maybe they didn't have a car to run.....or don't even "race". Ahh well WSID cancelled a points round of the National Champs to make a day for us to run.....good call......didn't even get a phone call for cancellation....or a call to join a bbq for lunch...... its late and im hungry......can't you tell!!

Nice one Paul.

1. The day was cancelled so that every entrant would not lose their money.

2. If even one car ran the organisers charged us full price.

3. Even a light shower means the track is unavailable to be used for between 1 and 2 hours.

4. No-one on the SAU committee is a weather specialist, we had to decide on whjat we could see

5. While you may have a 10 second car there were some quick cars as well particularly the 9 or even 8 second rotors and there was serious concern from the track about their ability to pull up in a braking area with standing water when running 10" wide slicks.

6. Despite there being 50 paid entrants, you personally were contacted a number of times by a number of people once the decision was made to minimise the impact on an out of towner.

Feel free to organise a dust garage drag day and take the financial risk yourself if you don't like how the SAU committee did it.

Adam and the rest of the team put an enourmous amount of effort into organising this day, and the fact that we have cancelled mean we have even more work to organise the next one with organising ppl who could not make this and had to drop out, the waiting list etc etc. And comments like yours really motivate people to organise events in their volunteered time.

Feel free to prove me wrong by spending your time to organise an event that doesn't interest you like a track day.

at the end of the day your always going to step on someones toes by canning an event or running an event when the weather is like it was..... i am sure people would have had something to say had the event been run and then cancelled due to a few light showers through out the day.... we should all be greatful that the SAU crew are willing and able to organise events like this for us all to enjoy, even if the weather doesnt make it easy

hahaha Duncan.....its a trash talk thread

Wise decision was made in the end to suit all people, and always grateful of the work Adam/Bu5ter put in to organise these days. That does not mean i cant be upset and put out by the decision made...does it?

Silly name calling (dust garage) is very childish and pathetic.....but typical of you.

    • That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
