Hey guys,

there is a Gymkhana event this weekend at Baskerville raceway.

Here is a quote from the organiser.

Mark Butcher

GYMKHANA - Baskerville Raceway This Weekend - We have the venue booked and so we have decided to see if there is enough interest in a Gymkhana day this Sunday at Baskerville Raceway - It will be run under the DSA banner (no CAMS licence required). Open to any "licenced" driver and registered vehciles. We would like to get 20 cars at $100 per entry to attend. Will be a full day - and we will arrange a variety of different gymkhnana style courses on the track - If your interested can you please like/comment.

This is the perfect entry level event for drivers of all skills and cars of all calibers.

NO CAMS LICENCE REQUIRED.

Only $100 entry.

And if you enter in your skyline, I'll make you a sandwich on the day, doesn't get any better than that.

fairly stock R32 would be perfect, you'll never get out of first gear anyway! I'm trying to bend my friends arm to lend me her Excel!

Ham, Cheese and Pickle?

I haven't asked my sister yet, why do you know her, Ben?

Yea well I will bust the old rocket out, how do enter? Got any advice on the event I have only done power cruise haha

It's all very low speed stuff, whipping in and around witches hats, jolly good fun.

It's not 100% confirmed yet, I'll keep you informed.

Scratch that, it's back on and I'm helping organize it now.

Same price, still no CAMS licence.

Who's keen? Need as many people as possible to make this work.

If we get enough interest we might do hill climbs and super laps too.

    • and I thought size mattered 😝 At this point I may either pray to the Afterpay gods and get a torque wrench or attach a water bucket to the breaker bar. I appreciate the help though 🙏🏾
    • Or get a guy in his early fiftys to do it. A single good "oof" and about two cracks from his lower back is about the right tightness...
    • It's impossible to convey what it will feel like to get the right torque. But you can develop a feel for it. A 900mm breaker bar is.....f**king huge. I only use a normal ~400mm one. But with 900mm being very nearly a metre, and the right torque being in the order of 100Nm, then you're going to need a bit over 100N of force, which is about 10 kg. So if you practice using the bar pulling up, instead of pushing down, then it will be about the same effort as lifting a 10kg bucket of water. That's what the pressure against your fingers should feel like. Ish. If you use a more typical length breaker, then it's about twice that. So a good 20 litre bucket, or a little bit more.
    • Also, if anyone has a torque wrench around Williams Landing area and can lend it to me for like 5 mins - I got 4 bottles of Furphy left and I’ll throw that in with a Happy meal 😂
    • So today I decided to bleed my brake fluid, which meant to the wheels came off the car at my garage for the first time. I only had a 90cm breaker bar with me and I noticed that some 1 or 2 lug nuts were a bit hard to get loose (from when the shop did the coilovers) Now.... when it came to putting them back on, I didn't want to put all my weight and overtighten them. So I hand tightened as much as possible and then put normal pressure on the edge of the breaker bar and tightened it until I couldn't turn it anymore without putting in an effort. Do you think that is tight enough? Or is that still too tight?  They are tighter than finger tight. Last thing I want is to have them strip or warp sh*t. But hard times mean I can't just go down to Supercheap and get a torque wrench 🥺
