Entry forms will be sent in tomorrow, Hope I make the cut off, I will be sluming it though, Ive got my swag, all I need is a local truck stop.

One question from the Gen Supp Regs;

3.5

Fuel is not available at the venue and cars should be sufficiently fuelled prior to arrival at the venue. Due to safety considerations, refueling in the Competitors’ Paddock area is prohibited

Can fuel be stored somewhere near by or is no extra fuel allowed on site ?

Thanks, Mark

arent there some shannons staff on this site? they could confirm some info for us

Sure are will follow up details tomorrow, the Supra forums have some intresting posts of the event

I think most of us know who the organiser is. However that information is surprisngly missing from all the SM1000 paperwork, which is weird to say the least. Most of us who attended Temora1000 (which was an EXCELLENT event btw) know about the accusations about missing money etc. There is always two sides to every story; all the whispers need to be addressed and put to bed asap.

    • This, honestly, is entirely BMW life. There's so many little things that once you know about you are either more relaxed or more uptight! 🤣 Fwiw (and slightly in my defence) our X5 has been flawless! The biggest issue we've had was problems with the front diff which ended up with a 2k rebuild but other than regular servicing with good oil and filters we've had no out of the ordinary costs or problems. it's been amazing and we've put 90k on it over about 5 years.  It's just the other two. The problem kids.
    • The more I think about it, the more I should probably go with a genuine Bride seat and rail set up. But damn the $$$ for a driver and passenger seat + rails!
    • From what I understand, stock internals should hold out for a while even if you run 500 at the crank, no? Especially if you don't run a modern turbo setup that reaches power and torque much earlier than the original twins. My engine isn't unopened either, it has N1 Pumps, head oil restrictor, new crank and cams, new piston rings, ARP head studs and Cometic headgasket along with 2860-5s. Considering everything is healthy this should run fine for a while I assume. Once my engine stops leaking shit everywhere, it'll be tuned to 370 crank first anyway, because I need to legalize the turbo setup. If I end up needing a new engine because my block actually has an issue, even though GTSboy was adamant that the whole porous block story is nonsense, before putting an engine in I'm probably gonna take care of the weakspots.
    • Hah, I have no issues with what you are doing whatsoever! You clearly know what you are getting yourself into. It's just funny reading things like this. "What's that noise?" "Oh, that's normal. That's just the engine not getting any oil. Nothing to worry about. It'll go away in a moment"
