Seeing as though a BBQ is being provided for lunch I assume that is the SAU BBQ? If so put me down as 1x spectator and i'll bring the gear.

Mounting cameras on the external front or rear or back or side or anywhere on and INSIDE the car allowed?

ie......

They use these on the F1 car when it ran in bathurst...

There are ways around this... you could break the beam (and start the timers) then take off and see what MPH you can get. This can indicate your potential ET on a perfect run. Or you could take off easy and then plant it - again, to see what MPH is acheived on the run, and hence what potential ET the car is capable of.

Alternatively, you could take off hard and then either back off or brake before the finish line. Couple the first half track passes with the MPH acheived on the other runs and you can work out the opotimal run ET and TS. Then, go hard at the end of the day and get your 10second timeslip and get booted :D

That must have been quite a while ago and WSID's private days were much different back then. Now they have two types, ones like this SAU:NSW one (ie 11.00+ cars), and the private track hire days for ANDRA-teched cars (a handful of cars only).

Is there truth to the rumor that if it's blatantly obvious by your 60" foot that you're holding off that you can get booted by that time even if you don't run a 10?

The rule book does allow it, but it only gets used if you are being an idiot or a c*nt towards the officials etc.

just looked through the ANDRA rule book and can't see anything about 60" but there is a time limit of 7secs for the 1/8th mile

I was just reading in the previous event (2007) where several cars ran within 5 or 7 hundreths of breaking into 10's and was fine. So sounds like it isn't a "fuzzy" rule, but I guess one of the guys that is closer to the rules could answer definitively.

List is all updated to date.. Come on everyone, you wanted it and said u would come and now you have all dropped off..

Tell your friends and get entered because if you dont do it now it may never come back!

There is nothing about a short time to get you booted, just ET or trap speed.

You can also be booted if you are running quicker than 12.50 and have slicks without front runners. I did this in testing and sandbagged at half track .. and got booted.

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
