noobs already get f**k all runs, now with all in a single file its gonna be f**ked.

i never did tandems so im not fussed about that, i just used to go to the front as if to run someone, but either go way ahead of them of well behind, just to avoid lining up

what the f**k is with this no tandem shit im reading?

links?

it's just for the newbie group, as i said on NS, if ur good enough to be tandeming ur good enough to be in group 1 so i dont see how its really going to effect most people, just the guys who go out in bashers without much skill and do sketchy tandems (which will be sad to see go, so much entertainment lol). unfortunately being in Aus, every crash takes a toll on our sport, anyone on the sidelines would have seen what was pretty f**king hektik out on the track last time. if we continue having sketchiness like that, cams will crack down on us.

my proposal is we need flaggers on corner 1, but unfortunately that costs $$. what was happening there was a very serious risk, even i will admit that, people sitting stationary on turn 1, while people fly in at over 90k's, a good T-bone at decent speeds will kill you, if not leave u very immobile. this is a risk with tandems, especially newbie tandems, but it's mostly a risk with people simply coming in and not paying attention, which 90% of the time is what happens.

they're like police/gov tho, it's only worth improving safety if it doesnt cost anything.

realistically there should be 3 groups, and improved communication/efficiency.

a newbie group for those that have only been out a few times, no tandems, no inflated ego's, just a session for those who have bugger all confidence and dont wanna be out with the better guys who have the confidence, but not the skill.

a intermediate group, for those who have been out to a few days, have some confidence under their sleeve, but not that skilled yet. can tandem, no more than 2 cars tho.

then a advanced group, tandems, up to 4 cars together.

groups need to be released immediately after the last car in the previous group passes the pits, the car should be called over the radio so they know the last car in that group that needs to go through. if a tyre stack has been knocked over off the track, not an obstacle, then f**kING LEAVE IT.

I think you should propose this to clem? Saying it on a forum isn't going to get any action so take it to a higher authority.

Were the customers at the end of the day, he is running a business. Now that tailem bend is open - we have an alternative which isn't forcing us only to slide at Mallala. If you can see a way that clems fpos business can be run better I think it should be said. Wouldn't he want that, the more cars we can run through on a prac night, obviously the higher volume of people will keep returning because the wait times will drop drastically, and then that flamin mongrel gets more money too.

Tell that stingy flamin mongrel to reach into his deep pockets with his short fkn arms. Your word would have more credability surely Nisskid? I totally agree with everything you've said above

Ring him, chew his ear off, do it.

K, go! :)

This is why I really enjoyed D-School. All the boys were out there, they all had their walky's all over the track and they were consistantly letting another person go after the next bend simply because there was a few of them out there and the communication was great and the day went smoothly ALL DAY. Fkn hell Clem flamin mongrel, open your eyes and listen to your clientel

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      Mechanic in Victoria

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.

      Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
