Another reason it happens around the dandenong area i would think is cause its so far away from calder. I have heard of the huge laverton drags and that. But they are closer to calder park. So really they should just go there.

But who can be stuffed going through city link all the time.

the place i work at now in dandy probly has a 2 kilometre straight road.

Where australia post is. Follow progress street for reference. Its pretty new, but its bound for some late night time trials, although only one exit. bummer. (could even have some drags inside the factories there come to think of it. they are huge.

But yeah, i say give more access to sandown raceway aswell. Night drags just like at calder.

Would get a big turn out i'd say.

ciao

i think if they opened up a new strip somwhere at the back of

deer park or somehwere...

charged 20 buxs entery

and was open 4 days a week

there would be no illigal street racing,,

but steve bracks is a poof and im gonna end up doin demos on

his front lawn again tonite in my 1985 magna

$20 tight asses wouldn't pay, but its getting there in terms of what's needed..

exactly zdenko (hey u said something intelligent? who is using your account??!)... see it just has to be an area that isn't a drag strip..drag strips are for full drag cars, not really street cars.

sanddown would be cool. Really the people who should be (cops and government) just aren't thinking of alternatives, so people will just get bored and street race. Until they come up with something, people will just continue to do so. But of course they make money $165 everytime they canary somebody so sad to say, but that seems to be what they'd prefer to do..

Actually, maybe we should be proactive and write some letters to our local MP's (anonymous of course)... with some intelligent suggestions. You never know, they might just take notice of it.

You'll be surprised what actually standing up and doing something intelligent about it rather than just wingeing about it can do....

It has got me what I have wanted many times. A well worded letter can do wonders if makes somebody at least thing for a moment outside their little box.

The problem is they probably only hear from dickheads about the whole thing which just reinforces their opinions that it should be banned under every circumstance, and more drastic crackdowns should be implemented.

theres no chance they will build another place for cars to race. 2 is enough. My question is what is the $17 which everyone is going to pay on rego going towards. Overseas travel for politicians or what. When you think about it. $17 isn't really that much, but when everyone has to pay it. Its close to $20 million dollars..

I think the problem with the racing meets are the liability insurance which the places have to pay. If they are cahrging shitloads for basketball places, imagine what they'd have to pay for racing events. would be huge.

yer, i know, that is a large part of the problem.. the liabilitity insurance. But why can't they just disclaim all responsibility?? and if people take the risk they do so on their own.

damn fat lawyers.. hate em all.. ****ing american bullshit creeping into our country.. get out .. hate hate!

I am not to sure. The way i see it, is if they say "enter at own risk", then they may not be able to operate, for saftey reasons, and the government will not allow it.

So seeing as the venue is taking on responsibility for what goes on there, they have to have the insurance (i would think). Its not only what happens on the track, spectators are also covered incase of a misshap.

Thats the way world is coming to these days.

    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
    • There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...
    • With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
