don;t worry the pits at wakie are nice and flat, not like oran park. no chocks required there

just park the car with handbrake off and out of gear when you finish. And take it easy on the cooldown lap, and do a lap or 2 of the pits if you think they are still too hot

Here's the list for scruitineering:

-No loose items in the cabin

-No fluid leaks

-Brake lights working

-Some tread left on tyres

-Secure panels

-no loose seats, seatbelts

-checking fire extingushers if there is any.

-checking helmets

-checking apparel if there are any

-wheelnuts

-cabin is fully sealed off

Guys is easier to fix any issues now, rather than on the day

Just another newbie question regarding the definition of loose items. Are items such as laptops, dataloggers and thermocouple readers etc allowed??..

I am assuming yes as long as they are strapped or tapped down and not free to move around the car??? I was going to make some brackets and use velcro straps, cable ties or gaffa tape???

Nope, sorry not allowed.

Anything that isn't welded, or screwed in is prohibited.

Edit: Unless you want to keep your dataloggers in the glove box (must be shut), that I will allow.

If it is bolted does it need to be bolted to car body or will bolting to the console do??

Also with the Wakie license I take it we get that from Wakefiled admin people first thing in the morning before scruitineering??

Wakie license yes at the admin office. You might want to go through scrutineering first as you will be in one of the first groups and there will be a line.

As in bolting to the centre console?

If you could make a steal bracket and bolt it to a structural point that would be fine.

But it would be hard for me to say yes over the net for something I haven't seen. If you want we can talk about this over PM or if you come down to mikes the night before I can try and help you figure something out.

    • Among other things yes. Making sure to either use an oil pressure regulator or the right restrictor size for your oil pump/range of oil viscosities you intend to run, making sure you plumb the lines correctly, turbo should be placed such that it siphons properly even when the water pump isn't turning so you don't boil coolant in the turbo after shutdown, oil return should be low resistance and also preferably picking the one that is most likely to return to the pickup as opposed to some other irrelevant part of the pan. It's far from impossible to figure this out but I have seen people really, really struggle and if that's the case it's easier to just take the path of least resistance. To me, bolt-on twin turbos are a fixed cost whereas single turbo is almost unbounded.
    • Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.
    • Ceramic coating and heat shielding, you mean?
    • Turbos don't require pulling the motor apart so that's "easier". I would recommend the Nismo R3 turbos instead if you want to do stock twin turbo. It doesn't make as much power as the 2530s but it's only like ~50 whp off the mark and should have better response (ball bearing CHRA, slightly smaller turbo). A local that went with a Garrett G30 and 6boost manifold recently nearly burned his car to the ground after the hood insulator started melting and and burning so if you go single turbo I recommend doing a lot of research and validation work to make sure you don't do the same.
