Rain is frustrating at first, then its the great fun... although i recommend you pay a wet track a little more respect then i did the 1st time. I spun off like 6 times that day (yeh so whats so unusual about that) and ended up driving home with tuffs of grass caught in my rear spoiler/windscreen wiper/rear views.

Spinning off the end of the main straight may be bad for your health.

Im sad to be missing this day, copping liquidated damages at work at the moment for runing over schedule so overtime it is.

Well, we've currently got more than 10, but basically we are paying for the whole day, so we'll use the whole day regardless of how many people we have. Unless of course everyone gets sick of it and wants to go home :(

I am coming to the track day on Saturday, but I haven't got my Skylines Australia membership yet even though I posted it about 4 weeks ago. Does this matter? I'm really looking forward to it now, rain or shine.

No probs. Just turn up on the day, and you'll be accepted, as long as there are spots left.

I believe we currently have 24 entrants. Not catastrophic, but still lower than desired (35-40).

Note that there is a late fee of $10 if you enter on the day.

The weather was very kind ... the whole morning session was wet, with light sprinkling for most of the time. But that gave everyone a chance to play in the rain.

The whole of the afternoon was dry ... and the track dried up pretty quickly. Good since we were timing the afternoon.

Great day. Thanks to the organisers for putting it on. I actually left early at about 2.30 after running out of petrol. I figured I may as well get a headstart since I had to drive back to Newcastle.

I was pretty happy with a 1.17 on my first time at a track.

Top day. I'm so glad it dried up there after lunch.

It was good to have some propper timing on the day. Gives you something to aim for, and you can see your improvements. :D

My sincere thanks to the HCC for organising the day. I hope to attend the next one.

Cheers,

Scott.

    • I know it's an entirely different engine, but I noticed practically 0 difference removing or adding 2x 3in (5inch body) 400cell cats (one in each bank) with regards to sound. So changing the cat to change drone I suspect will have very very, very, very, very, very very minimal impact.
    • 200 cell cat will probably help. Do you have room to tee off a Helmholtz resonator anywhere along the exhaust? These can do wonders for drones, with a little experimentation with regards to length.
    • The car revs up through the gears much better/faster now, and fuel consumption doesn't really seem to have be affected either on a Hwy cruise, which wasn't expected  The FAB9 intake manifold has been problematic sourcing though, I've contacted Plasmaman to ask about their intake, which you can get different runner lengths spec'd, and, their different options for throttle bodies  The only real physical drawback with the Plasmaman intake is how to connect it to my current OEM style airbox, as FAB9 make a OEM style back half of the airbox to suit the larger diameter throttle body, and all that is required is a 30°bend silicone pipe to mate the throttle body to the airbox Car also goes in for some exhaust work in a week or so to fit the biggest resonator they can fit clearance wise in the front pipe to help remove some of the drone, there isn't alot of realestate under there, a rough guesstimation is it will only be about 3-400mm long and maybe 90-100mm diameter, and with a 60mm exhaust that doesn't leave alot of space for the internal volume of the resonator to do its thing I'm thinking I may need to bin the "high flow" 100 cell cat for something a bit more substantial, yeah, and restrictive, like a 200-400 cell, to help, but, I have ample room for a really large bodied cat to replace the current one which has around a 4" diameter body I may look around in the recycling bins and see if I can find a massive newish cat that was "replaced" with some new full exhaust system that the local exhaust shop in Western Sydney is doing
    • Hahah look at that smile 😂 Just like those ones on IG where they compare the husband in family photos vs husband going fishing lol. I don't think I'll participate this time, clutch isn't in and also the last time I went there were too many numpties on the cruise sessions. Nearly caused a few accidents holding up people and a few guys initiating massive kerb to kerb drifts with heaps of cars right behind them. Not to mention, there were guys on the track session using it as a power cruise session.
