Is it okay if i enter in a beastly mazda 2??

Actually would go perfectly fine on the skidpan... You don't need power or rwd to have stupid amounts of fun

don;t think we ahve had a roll over, I do remember seeing a FOz's spinning drive shafts it was that angled over however.

another club had a Micra roll over.

but huge turbo and stock suspension and not the chicanes we use...bad mojo..

Mick came up last time in his Territory... It wallowed about it dominated times... came 2nd in 4wd if I recall correctly... Keep in mind it was up against evos and gtrs...

Maybe not the ML then... Probably not the S500L either, that big barge wouldn't get around the first cone....

Something a bit more nimble might come up.

Does this go through regardless of weather? Just with it being this time of year wasn't sure if it would get cancelled if it's heavy rain / storms?

Definitely not cancelled, would just mean a really slippery skid pan. Bring a poncho and umbrella, we haven't cancelled one yet!

all wet weather does is take the advantage away from those 300+kw track cars.

and those with a bit more road orientation have much much more chance.

oh and cheating evos as well.

Would not mind slightly wet skidpan, it's usually fun when there's one or two puddles but not completely soaked

I don't have a handbrake to slide and my guards aren't liking full lock at the moment :(

Wet skidpan is fine...

wet back track though.... my fear is real, even though there's no enbankments

Yeah that's my concern, that looked sketchy in that recent vid in the dry.... no real run off there... tree's oh god the tree's.

The back tracks have been modified since the last videos were taken, they've now got protective barriers between you and any hazard... It's 10 times safer for you and your car than any other real race track, haven't seen any real damage to a car in all the years I've been going...

Yeah that's my concern, that looked sketchy in that recent vid in the dry.... no real run off there... tree's oh god the tree's.

You'd be surprised how well you can go time wise with these, just by taking them slowly...you end up beating everyone who hits a cone in the finishing gate and those who spin out / lose it. Take it at your own pace - you get an 80% run before your timed run; good chance to scope out how fast you wanna take it.

    • Based off what you’ve said here, I think I’ve figured out a good bit of what I’ve done wrong -  So on the line going from the PCV valve to carbon canister, there’s a T joint that is pretty much right next to that lower port - I hadn’t noticed that the hose in the diagram was curved to attach onto the carb, so I was putting that line for the lower port onto the PCV line / carbon canister line instead. I’m going to have a flick through the manual again tomorrow and should hopefully find a diagram that’ll show me where that T joint should be connected to. Timing also 100% needs to be sorted out as well, should be able to tackle that tomorrow as well. Definitely feel like I should be on the right track now though. 
    • The screw is for idle (pilot circuit) mixture adjustment. Else, I'm confused ~ the diagram shows 2 carby ports, and the intake manifold port, but you're suggesting the "2nd port on the back of the carb that isn’t mentioned in the diagrams" ...yet, both carby ports are shown...que?... ...in any event, that port should be connected, but if not (like it is now), it's unlikely to cause a backfire out the carby (it would introduce false air and give you a fast/lean idle) ...sounds more like timing issues/spark plug wire routing responsible for the backfiring.    
    • That's fair, I can see both points. I get enthusiastic when I see the FS section has a new post and want to see what interesting thing someone is selling. Then I get deflated it's a bump of a 10 year old post. Ha ha
    • Couple of litres of moonshine from his southern cousins would do it...
