A Moderator of the site has kindly getting behind this event and will be having a mini show n shine: Best 4, Best 6, Best 8, Best 4x4 and Best overall.

Once we reach the dam we will be having a bbq with drinks. I will inform more on this once things have been finalised.

This thread is a expression of interest thread. Please feel free to say whether you would like to attend and i hope we all pull together for a great day and enjoy a CRUISE in his honour.

ONCE AGAIN WE DO KNOW THIS IS THE SECOND DAY OF JAMBOREE.

Thank you all and hope to see you there.

Well we dont have to cruise with them, as suggested above organise our own cruise in the daytime, a mountain run to me is a road race, pushing limits and primarilly why they are banned on this site, criticising others efforts is not what this is about, let them do what they want.

I know its a big ask but I'm going to try and get in contact with some of the Torana/Commodore owners here in QLD and maybe organise a Memorial Sprint day consisting of street cars classes he raced ie A9X sprints , LC Torana sprints, VS Commodore.

Owners of these types of cars would be invited to race or be envolved in a show and shine hopefully all at QR

It's going to take a lot to organise but I think its a fitting tribute to the Brock

Hi,

Boostcruising does not endorse "mountain runs" either.

It's a little silly to suggest that our Memorial Cruise is bound to end up being a "race around a mountain" when we are using a similar route as the "Massive Skyline Cruise" used by SAU late last year.

We're simply paying our respects in the only way we know how, if you choose to join us, please do, otherwise, please stay away. Do as you please there's no point arguing about it that's disrespecting the memory of one of Australia's best motorsport icons we've ever seen.

      You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.

      98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.

      95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
