I'm a maybe at the moment. Gotta do a few things to the 1600 before I feel it will be OK.

Im there with the new diff... hoping it will help at sandown as much as it did at PI

[Sandeep]

do they need any flaggies/helpers? i am still deciding between entering this event or saving the $$ so I can do more Phillip Island days in September...

[Sunkist]

Sandown is pretty good track - PI is awesome but just so damned fast.

It would be good to have another great SAU turnout.

I understand that for lap timing and incar measurements Richo uses 'Nokia Mobile phones + racechrono and a QSTARZ GPS'.

How accurate would it be if used my Samsung Galaxy 3 + race chrono?

I know there is lap timing on the day but being able to watch back how you went, lap by lap with speed is a useful learning tool

checkout the Samsung software/sampling specifications for an idea, eg is it 1hz?. I use one of the 10hz http://www.qstarz.com.au/index_files/Page461.htm gps receivers $80

[ssxRicho]

Yep, G3 is fine. But you will need an external GPS. The internal unit sucks, I think Trackmaster is the best software for Android.

Thanks Guys

Having a look at the: BT-Q1000XT - $115' & 'BT-Q818XT -$78'

Not sure what the differences are when using it for the track. I know Richo you use the BT Q-1000XT, must be for a reason right lol?

Had a look at trackmaster for the Andriod but it's a paid software, Racechrono is free

I actually use the older 5hz version of the Q818XT. The Q1 has embedded recording I think.

Just get the Q818XT, that is the one you want.

deserter!

[scotty nm35]

Nice, only BMW's to catch at the moment, hopefully the 26psi wastegate springs will get me around them on the straight. lol.

[Sunkist]

how many spots are left?

[ssxRicho]

About 40.

[ARTZ]

Small field of Nissans ,lots of beemers..

So....any tips from peeps that know Sandown. ? Seeing as we just jumped in the deep end here...

[billywhiz]

Entry list is only just up (see Martin's post), around 65 spots left.

If PI was anything to go by, there may not be enough driving instructors, I've never done it before, so I've got common sense, done a few events but... do we have a checklist put together for advice around safety, getting the most out of the day, and not forgetting where to buy those chill pills when you come back in
