Dont think I will make it.. way to much to pay for at the moment with moving house etc. next one I will be on for sure!

been wanting to take the car out for ages, just not a good time atm

will still come as a spectator though. so some one put me on the list with them pls :beg:

I may come and run a few passes to shake down the new set-up...then Stace can take the wheel and try to break 11.0...can we do this Adam??

If not Stace can race the car all day and try to get booted.

i dont think Adam can advise for you to pay your $210 and them maybe not race for most of the day, i suppose thats your choice to make, but remember they arn't to happy with SAU NSW after last times cancellation so i wouldnt want any more arguements with WSID that may jeopordise future events.

to know 100% just give them a call and ask i suppose

There are a number of cars that are interested in doing some 'test' runs. Adam, can you please get a clarification on the 'no sub-11.00 sec' rule. Can cars that are tech inspected still race as long as they don't go quicker than 11.000? What happens if a car breaks this ET? Do they ask you to ease off the boost or do you get booted straight away?

Nothing under 11.00 means as soon as you go under that you are booted.

Normal street meet rules apply in the sense that you need a Superstreet licence to go faster than 12.00 (I think, can the drag racing experts please confirm?) but you don't need to be tech inspected to go that fast.

That said; there's not that many 10 second cars around and they will most likely know you and unless you can provide a valid reason why you wont be running that fast you wont be allowed to race at all.

For instance, saying you are practicing launches and will get off at half track is not ok. Saying you normally run NOS to get 10's but wont be on this day so expect 11's will be ok.

Correct.

Good.

2rismo might chomp his own pb, but then again, he might run flat 13's all day. :P;):)

like me...

j/k I would love to get a pb and I will be trying hard.

BTW guys, don't delay on payments, we are sharing this day with the V8's and it's first come first served. They have had the event announced a month earlier than us so off to around a 30 car head start. Don't miss out by assuming you can pay much closer to the day. This event WILL sell out.

OH! Bob umm count me in.

I've DD'ed money and sent email..

Need to beat my PB, which hopefully after a few runs and practice (sp?) It should be easy.

Though my clutch my die on that day. :P hmmz

AND another thing..

Need to find someone to drive my car to WSID.. Hmmmmmz Farken hell

If you think it's pretty likely then best to get one beforehand. Surely you can do it without going out there? Try contacting WSID directly. Don't mention it's a Skylines day, say it's the V8 owners day. We don't want to flag ourselves too brightly with them.

    • I'd be looking at the mentioned EFR kit, room to turn it up if decide on e85 (which we know you will) and be super responsive and fun on the street. OR https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/?srsltid=AfmBOorrJa2S76JR5ekXprxBOtU44a1UProbe64YaiVi9zTVp1Lj814w And add whooshy noise for extra fun C5 corvette prices are coming down locally here and a mate has a manual one and is a heap of fun on the street and track.
    • I have an Elite 2500, honestly most of this has been a lot of smaller tasks chasing little details and a whole lot of life getting in the way of bigger projects. I don't mind too much looking at a spectrograph vs having audio knock ears. 
    • Nah nah nah nah. Don't do it. It's not all about the full throttle power delivery. The main "street fun" and drivability gains from smaller rear (in this case) is how you will have boost available from a low rpm when yo just roll onto the throttle. Think jinking in and out of traffic, coming out of roundabouts, etc etc, where you just want to roll onto the throttle a little and have the spooly noise from ~2000rpm and a swell of torque. More of what you've already achieved by going to 2.5. And then, towards the tail end of 2025 you can pull the turbo 4 out and put in a V8 like we originally suggested. :P
    • Cheers for the info mate, I'm old too, 60 years old next May, so a more linear delivery of the 0.86 would be better as baking tyres and snapping heads isn't on the cards for me or the car I assume a more linear power delivery would be better for engine and drivetrain reliability as well, IRT the torque load at lower RPM???, as well as lower EGT's???, if my understanding of that is correct, have I got that right??? I've only got a really basic understanding of turbo sizing and all there characteristics  Cheers for the useful information
