What options do sprint type cars have up this way for events besides heading to Eastern Creek?

I read there's a couple I short hill climbs, one around Telegraph point north of Port Maquarie and another at Raleigh Raceway.

I see Raleigh also runs a drift series but I'm not into that.

I've read that Newcastle could be getting a track too as there's some planning talk over in the Motorsport section.

Is there anything else up this way? I'm enjoying my holiday up here and just seeing what options there are for my Sil as EC is a bit of a drive, as are QLD tracks.

Also, any club level rally up here?

I think there are a few rally clubs but more dirt - no tarmac?

Check out Monarco Performance - Geoff there is a member of the hunter valley car club? I think...?

MG have a hill climb at Raymond Terrace - that is where they are planning on the new race track.

otherwise king edward park has a hill climb once a year...

EC isnt that far.

Im on the central coast and have gone to Wakefield 5 times this year

I guess im spoilt, Winton is only an hour away and 3hrs gets me to sandown/Calder plus DECA in shepparton is 2hrs, Wakefield around 3 in the other direction. I'm in Albury Wodonga mind you.

As for port/Newcastle

Wakefield is a bit far to go, EC is a few hours from Port, less from Newcastle and I wouldn't go any closer to Sydney. 2hrs is bearable.

The hill climbs all look really short. I've only dug up footage of the lighthouse point one and it barely had 2 decent corners.

      I transferred from full time service to Army Reserve, so I still have access, work has been super keen to get me in to work in the OPS realm, so just turning up to use the gym......and ovens, isn't causing any issues, apart from me needing to keep on telling them that I won't be doing any reserve days until I get my joint in Goulburn sorted  Basically I can now work whenever I want, for how long I want now, and it's all tax free Next time we have some fires or floods you might see me covered in mud, or cutting sick in some plant equipment cleaning up, the Reserves love getting in the news, LOL

      Final finish outcome of 80掳c was typical to the pics, I've turned the oven down to 50掳c and will pick them up after the gym tomorrow  The before and after difference was amazing, the wrinkle paint has covered all of the casting marks completely It did take a couple of hours to key it all and get in all of the crevices, but, for me it was time well spent for the final outcome, but I have all the time in the world to do it at the moment  Ended up with 4 coats, each sprayed at different angles to get optimal coverage and thickness As for the fixtures and intake box thingo that hasn't made it, the supplier is apparently posting the fixtures, and, are now sending a different CAI that is in stock The replacement CAI is actually better than what I originally ordered, but will require a pod filter that locates under the front bar, still serviceable, but it basically removes the whole OEM filter box and ducts into the front bar, so filter cleaning will require ramps and the removal of some front bar undertray, not a war stopper, just some ramps and an additional 10 minutes work every few months From looking at it it is made from alloy pipe from the throttle body, through the CAI hole in the rad support, then right turning under the bar, luckily the wrinkle paint was on special and I got 2 cans for $30ish, so the alloy will get the same wrinkle treatment as the intake manifold, hopefully it turns up soon, either way, the car will be getting booked in soon, if the parts aren't here, I'll just get MX5 Mania to " make it work"

      I'm so glad base security is so high. I see they stopped some random codger from being able to just wander in off the street... 馃槢   PS, intake looks good!

      Is there a good place to learn how an engine works online?

      By RA708 路 Posted

      Exactly how each part works and how they all work together to make the engine function. That's all I'd need to do a basic build. Maybe how forced induction works. I probably need to learn some of the maths behind it all as well.
