Got some q's:

1. Whereabouts do i go? straight down champions way to QLD raceway and then where?

2. Can i hire a helmet?

3. How much is it to buy a helmet and from where on Bris Northside is a good place to get one?

4. Can the helmets be open faced or do they need to be the closed face style with visor?

thanks :)

1. Drive straight in. Go to the left hand end of the carpark and you will see there should be a gate open to let you in to the pit straight (albeit from the wrong end). Get yourself a parking bay.

2. Yes you can hire helmets - from memory they are only about $5-$10 to hire.

3. You can buy cheap helmets from the likes of Tyretech - another good one is Cash Converters.

4. Your preference

Give Qld Raceway a call and find out about the helmet hire etc. 0754619100. I got mine from the Bike shop in Marooka, they have a good range there.

Also the day is booked out. If you have not paid yet there are no spaces left. Looks to be the biggest track (1/2) day we have had yet !!

Don't forget to arrive at 7:30am so we can get all the formailies out the way and get on the track as quick as possible.

If everyone who has paid could make sure they have sent myself or Tim their contact details that would be a great help in case we have to call you for some reason.

Also anyone who wants to be added to the email list for the next track day (30 Aug), just PM me your email address. They day is already 1/2 booked and almost 1/4 paid up.

Zymotic,

Yes I have received your payment and a spot has been allocated for you on Monday.

Others confirmed from Skylines Australia include:

Maccattack

Evo Cam

There were several others from Skylines Australia that expressed an interest, however did not come up with the $$$$$$, I hope that they can make it to the track day on the 30th August 2005.

Regards,

      Nah, it's not the reduced knock margin. It is a direct mechanical effect of having to initiate the combustion earlier, while the piston is still rising, which starts to exert combustion pressure on the rising piston earlier, making the rest of the engine work harder to finish driving the piston up to TDC where the combustion pressure stops being a negative and starts being a positive. Your modern engine that only needs ~10° to make MBT doesn't waste the other 10 or so degrees of crank rotation. That's almost all of it. The difference in knock margin might go either way. Remember that modern engines to which you are currently comparing the long tractor engine (the RB) are now running super high compression, direct injection, tricky cam control and maybe even cylinder pressure sensors. You're not comparing apples with other fruit. It's apples and sea weed, or some other evolutionarily primitive vegetation. And remember, squish only really comes into play at the very end of the stroke. It certainly does good things, but it is not the biggest contributor to what's going on. It is quite possibly much less important in 4 valve head than 2 valvers also, because there is so much less squish available to a 4 valve anyway.

      Food for thought, a longer stroke motor would need less ignition timing vs. a shorter stroke motor requiring more ignition timing.

      Thanks Duncan, HART is only 10 mins from me (I did my bike license there), it'd be awesome if it ran these types of things.  Sutton Road does look good and they take fewer cars than SMSP which is good.  Surely you have enough land to lay a few million tonnes of concrete and some sprinklers D?

      I thought an engine that needs more ignition timing to make power is going to result in less power due to reduced knock margin? More time for the combustion to propagate -> more time for it to heat up the rest of the mix to detonation.
