Topaz...deposit is $75 and $75 is due on the night - last I heard.

Thats what it was last time, but this time theres the CAMS thing. I just wanted confimation from INSSSANE that its till $75 deposit and we pay $115 on the night.

Also, I still need to know where and when to get an extinguisher fitted. :

Last time I saw the entry price it was $150 (50% Deposit) + CAMS Licence

CAMS could be;

A current L2S license

OR buy a L2SE for the event only I think it's $40 or $20. Can't remember

OR Jai/Brett were hoping to start a CAMS approved "club" and would be offering 12month L2S license on the night for ~$100. Price pending. Last I heard from Jai they were hoping for CAMS affiliation status on the 8th April

Your best bet for more accurate information would be to email Brett or Jai

Pop into Tenagah for an extinguisher, Abdus will sort ya out

Do you know how much? I think Jai said he can do them for $85 installed. Will it be the same?

Tenagah is right near me, so it would be easier for me to get there.

Sorry for the delay in this night happening guys but i have great news, everything has been sorted out and the track has been booked for Monday the 24th April 2006. The details are still as per the first post, for those who are interested we only have 5 spots available I'll let you know if more become available.

For those who have paid etc please let your mates know that have paid also so we don't miss anyone out. If you haven't already organised your fire extinguisher give Jai a call at Tyrepower Greenwood (9247 1166)

Cheers

Brett

So is a extinguisher mandatory or not?

They weren't at the last no speed limit event.

Had a car burst into flames next to me at Barbagello once.

5 of us emptied our extinguishers into that car to no effect.

Always thought I would just walk away after that incident rather than wait for my eyebrows to grow back.

Not keen on drilling holes in the 35 for an extinguisher

We got away with it last time but yes as of this event they are required by CAMS, I do agree that 1kg of extinguisher might not do much but rules are rules. There were some Ford boys who felt the same way about it, I was going to find out if we can mount them on a bracket which uses the bolts of the seat (cost would go up also due to manufacturing something substantual if it's ok). However i can't garrantee this would be acceptable but i was going to ask anyway.

Just an update as it appears i forgot to mention it. Spectator fee is $5 per person and don't forget that the next day is ANZAC day which means it's a public holiday.

Also this is strictly a NO alcohol event.

$5 to watch a track day thats not a race meet or drifting?

bit rude don't you think..

I mounted my extinguisher using drivers seat retaining bolts. What you need is a length of flat bar (I used stainless steel - about 20mm x 6mm from memory) Match drill the stainless bar to the extinguisher bracket & bolt the two together. Then bend the bar about to allow it to clear all the lumps/bumps in the area. Finally drill another hole for the mounting bolt & attach it. If anyone is interested I can post up a photo tomorrow...

Haven't been knocked back by the scrutineers yet. Be aware though, that if you are short this probably won't work as the seat gets in the way.

This has been discussed on many occasions before, however to you complain about the $11 entry to the motorplex to watch Whoop Ass Wednesdays?? We are a business and we need to cover costs, if you think it's not worth it then that's your opinion and no one is forcing you to come down.

We fit the extinguishers to the passenger side of the vehicle so this mounting method wouldn't bother the seating position of the driver. I haven't asked the question yet, but as long as you can still easily access the clips for the bracket this should be satisfactory. Also aslong as the plate you use isn't too thick and takes up half the thread of the seat bolts.

I put it on the drivers side because the passengers side slides forward easier/further when you need to get people in the back.

By the way - from memory the Collie motorplex charges $5 to go and watch any of their events. On the other hand the Speedeventseries don't.

    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.

    • They have said food will be limited. Mainly meat pies and sausage rolls from memory. But they have a coffee van!
