Further to this I've now been informed that the date for this will be Dec 2nd and 3rd and will involve a minimum of 4 runs per day and will cost aorund $1K to enter.

Will be Dutton Rally regs too - so LS2, normal sprint track regs (no cage etc) and no navigator.

yeah it will be super quick. Neil did the buladelah climb which was pretty wide, the old pac is even wider....

and $1k is cheap for an event from the dutton guys :)

Agree it will be quick If you havent done a Tarmac Rally/Road event this will intimidate much more than Race track big balls + wide road = high speeds + big trees = yeha

Wanna know more about "Race to the Pie" ??

Guys,

I am allowed to release the following "rumors"

(they are still "rumors" as there are still a few loose ends to finalise - but "they shouldn't be a problem" I was told..)

website coming soon.... (www.racetothepie.com)

Make of them what you will... (and spread the word I was told)

It starts near a bridge and ends near a pie shop

It is on the weekend of Sat 2nd / Sun 3rd December 2006

It's 4.5 Kilometres in length

There will be a limit of 150 cars

It will NOT require a roll cage, and hence NOT needing full CAMS regs in regards to vehicle preparation.. - Obviously there will be other regs that you have to abide by - Fire Extinguisher, Helmet, Clothing, Road Registered and must pass scruitineering etc...

Entry will be under $1,000 per driver (how far under is yet to be finalised)

There will be opportunity for Driver AND co driver runs in the same car.

Vehicles will start at 30 Sec intervals

It is expected that you will get 6-8 runs each per day

As I said, these are the only "rumors" I can release at this stage

So... This looks like the opportunity for those of you who say you are quick on the "insert road here" to prove it.....

What is that saying again...???

When the Flag drops.....

i would be in like flyn but considering i can run 5 track days for under a grand I think common sense tells me sit this one out. :)

So how many track days and cases of piss do i get for the $2200 Dutton Vic entry? Damn the torch that was passed to me and Jamezilla, its now our job to show how ordinary Snowman and Scotsman are :)

    • Can you log IAT? Whilst WTA coolers have their place, doing any sort of sustained run is not one of them There are fixes that slow down the heat soak, like ice boxes, which don't last that long, and interchillers, which are fairly expensive, up grades to the WTA cooling radiator, which may require a bigger pump, and upgrades to the reservoir size,  and upgrades to the cooling fans, but, it all still heat soaks, and takes ages to come down in hot weather  For a turbo, that isn't locked into WTA like my PD blower is, can you not possibly swap to a nice air to air intercooler????, it would be better for sustained runs then, and have alot less things that could go wrong in my opinion 
    • So, the other thing I've sorted is a baseline dyno run up at Unigroup's new location. The auto trans was a little unco-operative by both shifting down when the throttle was floored on the dyno (so Mark had to ramp it up more slowly than in a manual) and also by shifting up at 6,000 even in sports mode instead of the indicated redline of 7,000 Still, on a hot day it made 240rwkw at 16psi which seems about right for 300kw (400hp) through an auto at the wheels.  The shape of the curve is not quite right because it was not full throttle to about 4,500 to stop it kicking down, but until I can get a tune on the auto trans control this was the best we could do.....full boost will be well below 5,000 once that is sorted, I'll get some data logs when I can to confirm For comparison, the R32 made 255 at 12psi (at 4,500) on the same dyno with tune, n1 turbos, cam gears, big exhaust but otherwise all standard so the v37 is likely a little better out of the box. One thing that is very clear is that the standard water to air intercoolers are not up to sustained use at full throttle in warm ambient temps. After about 5 runs (so only a few minutes full throttle), it was pulling boost and timing and dropping 10-15% power. Unfortunately I didn't get that printout and the Unigroup guys are away at the moment, will try and get hold of it on their return. So, looks like a healthy engine to start modifying and the only real area of concern is the w2a heat exchangers which the aftermarket has plenty of solutions for    
    • I maintain it actually looked really nice in person. So much so that I thought "No, this is illegal" but there it was, clear as day. I think we can easily call the wing and wheels/height to be transformative. Not saying it's better than the GR Whatever, or the 86, or the WRX STI or anything of that sort (the internet says it all bolts up so you can buy best of all worlds?) but it's still at least a thing and not nearly AS bad as people say.
    • That's less offensive than the previous gen.....except for all that ugly black tupperware around the edges. Blerck!
    • I leant out the window recently and took a picture of this new WRX. It looked real damn fine in person. It's faster around a track (stock) than a (stock) GR Yaris. It's much more practical despite being heavier. It's significantly cheaper. This gen tunes really well, much better than others. .... I think they're probably a lot better than people expect.
