Ok.

The next Round of the WRX Club and also SAU Vic Club Championship is at Winton Raceway on Saturday April 16.

Entry forms available here:

Sup Req's

Cost to Enter: $110.

Driver Training Only: $100 (non timed).

Winton is the best "learning" track on the Vic circuit as there is basically very little to hit and damage a car with, the overall speeds are quite low (most won't get over 200km/hr) and there are minimal gear changes per lap (I usually do 4 a lap!). This leaves you to heaps of time to concentrate on lines and braking points.

It's the perfect track to try and find your limit. You find spins and off track excursions are common here!

It's also the home Track of Team Wang Racing! :(

Some people may be interested to make a long weekend of it as Fridays are open for free practise. $100 for Fridays and you get 20mins of track time every hour. CAMS licences are NOT required for the Friday practise nor things like fire extinguishers etc, so if some people are going to do it and you have been thinking about joining track days but haven't been sure if it's for you then these open Fridays are a perfect chance to give it a shot.

:cheers:

Also - I will quickly point out - I know there are the carrot's of Maserati Club @ Sandown and PIARC @ PI the week before and if you are thinking of missing this round and doing one of those due to costs - this will be the last "SAU Vic Club Championship Round" until mid June.

We are not doing the Hill Climb at Morwell in May as part of the Club Championship.

Because the track surface is not up to grade IMO. People can still run there if they wish but SAUVic's stance is that we won't be encouraging people to do so for safety reasons.

Surely you saw the result of Chris's car. Yes it was a drift day and he was a spanner - but in a hill climb you are actually trying to push faster and it's just too dodgy.

Just cause you won go-karting doesn't make you a hero.......

:jk:

I was going to look at attending this round as a flaggy so as I said if people wanted to go to it then thats fine.

BUT - thats the Hill Climb. This threads about WINTON. Lets worry about Morwell when the time comes.

Ok - this is just over 2 weeks away now so we are going to book some accommodation in Wang for those that want it by the end of the week. Due to getting burnt at PI with accom we need people who are coming to confirm this week or else you can look after yourself.

There is the option of comming up just for Friday night or else staying on for Sat night as well. If you want accom please state your intensions on this matter. Remember it is a 3hr drive from Melb but only a 20min drive from Wang to Winton. From memory the rooms are about $150 per night and sleep 6 so thats less than $30 per night. It needs to confirmed however.

So far I know confirmed for accom are:

Snowman (Fri + Sat)

Bec (Fri + Sat)

Scotman (+1 ?) (Fri + Sat)

Chrisman (Fri + Sat)

Blaise + 1 (Fri)

:rofl:

Please DO NOT post your accommodation requirements here - as the event gets closer this thread will get messy - goto the Accommodation Thread (above link) and let me know there.

Thanks

    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
    • The only high-power RB I've personally seen go pop after running for all of an hour on a dyno was built by B2R, while being remotely tuned by B2R. The only wastegates I've ever had leak like a sieve, return, still leak, return and get shipped back the wrong ones were from Turbosmart. The only final drive that I've ever purchased that were unusable, twice... were from Speedtek. The only seat mounts that I've ever purchased that placed the seats in the door frame were from Crank Motorsport. The only poorly designed parts that I had the manufacturer confirm should have been designed as per what I mentioned were from GKTech. The only ECU I've had firmware updates consistently break things are Haltech. The only catch can I've purchased that didn't fit in its advertised spot was from ATP. So forth and so on... Moral of the story, doesn't matter where it's from. Do your research beforehand and stick with products and companies you've trusted in the past.    @joshuaho96 If you want it done right, do it yourself.
    • Something coarse-ish. 180 is good.
    • I was surprised to see all the quick Jack models at the same prices on there. But yeah, grabbing one at 20% off would be great.
