Bunta Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 I am going to Eastern Creek in early October!

SkylineGTT25 Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 After being booked for the whole day I managed a total of 3 laps on the first run, thanks to the good old ceramic turbine wheel exploding in my turbo (and this is a totally stock engine running standard boost). After removing the dump pipe and tipping it on it's end, it was like tipping rocks out of a steel bucket. Anyway s..t happens and it's now going to get a GCG rebuild/flow job, which will hurt the bank but look forward to future track days !

SirSkyline Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 It looks like it has but I think someone has done a bit of a boo boo. they have put in laps times not the best lap time Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/121473-track-day-july-4/page/6/#findComment-2310505 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MountainRunner Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 There is no Boo Boo, lol. I put all the times up there because a few guys said they wanted to see everything not just their best. I will have the latest hall of fame sorted out in a few days, once everyone has had a chance to grab whatever they want from that data.

Bobjones Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Sounds like a Road Trip in the making. Throw in a few Touge runs on the way and its the ultimate holiday. Yeah its awesome fun, a group of us went as "pit crew" for a mate who went down for a NSW Evo Track day...and of course blitzed them....hahahaha Had the XR8 ute for carrying the essentials like the esky and the BBQ, yes we had a barbie in the pits to the jealousy of the NSW guys!!!

N1GTR Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I'd be keen to head down to some of the NSW tracks as well later in the year, give them a try. Im with you gorden im keen to try somw NSW tracks... Wakefield Park is a nice track, unfortunately their timing facilities are some less desirable...it also has a bit more "technical" aspect to it I suppose, especially the back section...and ther is only one straight... Sounds like a Road Trip in the making. Throw in a few Touge runs on the way and its the ultimate holiday. Yeah, sounds great to me I'd love to get to some of the NSW tracks.Going to bring that fancy timing gear Paul? Guys, this will be sorted out for next year, discussions are happening at the moment .....even the mountain runs ...... We are looking at buying our own timing gear also so we dont have to rely on track timing Can you guys pm me the link to where you got your gear? We are currently comparing etc and looking at prices - thanks HEAPS Edit.....we also have a club BBQ, so dont worry about that Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/121473-track-day-july-4/page/6/#findComment-2312132 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Ok - us Vic's are planning a Track Road Trip to NSW in early November. Maybe some QLD's would like to join us all as well? http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...p;#entry2312460 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/121473-track-day-july-4/page/6/#findComment-2312609 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MountainRunner Posted July 7, 2006 Author Share Posted July 7, 2006 (edited) I have built the timing gear. It is hard real time to 1/1000th accuracy. I print to 1/100th on the session sheets. The main laptop in the timing room, the beam at the track, sign and hand controller are all radio linked and run off batteries. It also measures the air temperature and track temperature and prints it on the end of day sheet so you can see the conditions at every set you run. The extras that I will be bringing back now that the beam is 100% sorted out are: 1. The giant electronic sign that shows lap times to the spectators live as the cars pass the start/finish line. 2. The pit hand controller that allows the pit lane marschall to order each session in best lap running. It also lets him edit the next session so it is ready to go once the track clears.
