Its a bit more than a coincendence that this overheating issue happened after the new turbos where fitted. Mekes me wonder if one of the feed lines is either blocked or twisted reducing coolant flow to them.

I expect that your engine out will find/fix the issue even of it is a leaking head gaskett.

well done on the lap time mate. SMOKIN

yeah mate....I would be delighted to find something wrong in either the externals or the long motor - at least that way I would be confident I found the problem. Otherwise it's chuck the new motor in and hope it just works :|

anyway...for anyone interested Irace is being broadcast tomorrow 1pm on SBS.....your chance to watch the last race meet that happened at Oran Park

Sorry Chris...I didn't answer your question....

I had the fastest car in muscle class, but given the mods on my car I think that was good luck not good management. I would still expect to be blown into the weeds most times and I think their class rules are wrong in my case (ie they should follow CAMS to keep simple)

Overall the weekend was very smooth, I like the amount of track time, and I love the mixed race formats (scratch, reverse grid and handicap).

But ultimately, for me, it is not the CAMS state championships. Personally I have a car that can win the state champs but it takes ultra comittment to do so - I think I can do so one day so I will stick to it and spend and committ what I need to

For people interested in fun/acheivable/affordable racing, I think irace is a great option.

Oh one last thing....driving standards in muscle class were not up to scratch. Not sure what they can do about that but people need to understand that they are not racing for sheep stations....and that crashes cost everyone money. In the CAMS series we have some good processes in place to "talk" to people who don't show the appropriate understanding to their other competitors.
