I went today from 5-10pm and to be honest it wasnt the most exciting nite of racing.

Plenty of waiting around from cars running into the sand or sliding on their roof etc I think I spent more time in the pits than sitting watching.

I'm confident that next weekends SuperNats will be 10x better.

OMG :( I have never seen Hail so big in my life. Today around 3ish it started to hail then i could not beleive my eyes when a few more come down. I picked up 2 of them and that was all i could fit in my hand.

And thanks to the almighty one above i now have HALE DAMAGE :D and more chips on my bonnet than before :D

We headed there, got there just before 3...... looked at the sky.... looked at the $50 entry..... turned around and left!!! Lucky I did though, was in the zed and the targas look strong but I really dont want to test the theory!!

Thanks everyone, arfter getting home and having a better look at my car i have ended up with more chips on my car than before and as far as i can see so far there is about 7-8 dents on the bonnet and 9-10 on the roof. Pretty SAD :P

I think I scored a plug for delivering Ben Bray's replacement engine plates from the gong as well. :(

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
