hi folks,
after some of our guys only getting 2 runs on friday and the cressida not making it due to a log book issue, we have decided to bite the bullet and have a private test day on the 15th of november which is a sunday.
we have spots open so PM me if you are interested. the track hire cost $6600 so that works out at $550 a car for the 12 spots.
basically the first people to get in contact and pay for their spot are in. if you pull out its your responsibility to find some one else to take your place and get your $550 back.
gates open to competitors at 8am, then scrutieneering, racing from 10 am till 4 pm with no breaks. thats 6 hours of track time for 12 cars, $550 might seem like a lot but think about how many times you will have to tow to the track to get that much track time, it will cost far more.

05-11-09, 19:28 GMT+10#11 public cant watch track regulations. a workshop who shall remain nameless had a test day there not long after the track opened, had heaps of people come and watch, a brawl happened and they put the kybosh on it. its driver and 3 crew only each entry.
yes there are 2 motortech cars, tony from motortech has been great to deal with i must say, put the money in straight away no bull****. i wish all people were like him to deal with.
7sins is the series 2 rx7 out of the blacktrack workshop. justin and i are driving my cressida. there is also a matoouk customer coming not sure what car i didnt ask. there is also a small block capri as of this afternoon which made car 12. their are 2 tony rigoli cars a wrx and something else. the rest are rotors.
there will be a photographer and rotorgeek takign video.
we have pulled the cressida back to 830 rwhp and have pulled 500 pounds of weight out of it so 8's should be a reality. with all the power in if it hooks up low 8's are a reality.
see what the track and weathers like on the day.

2700 pounds with driver, its making 830 rwhp at 30 psi, if we put it back upto 42 psi and put the 100shot back in it i cant see why if it runs a 1.3 sixty why it wouldn't go low 8's. i dotn know what power its making with all that as it just fries the tyres on the dyno no matter how we strap it, i think the converter is the problem on the dyno.
its still factory cressida rear end which is going to be the problem, i think to be consistantly fast in the low 8's its going to need a 9 inch live axle, not a 20 year old toyota IRS.
