Autocross - looks like cheap fun?

[Brockas]

Anyone else tried this out before?

Autocross - WA Car Club Summer Autocross Series

https://www.facebook.com/SummerAutocross/


First one is on Wednesday. I'm going to head down to watch and if it looks like fun might grab a cheap shitter off gumtree and go have some fun.

Anyone else keen?

[Tocchi]

there should be a gunmetal R32 with RB28 tucked away somewhere, not being used, that would be perfect for this

[Damo 69]

How did you determine its shade of grey?

[Sfidz]

This looks kinda cool. Pending indoor game time would be keen to check this out.

[adrenalin]

Hell yes looks like a lot of fun

[cactus]

Mate does it every year and absolutely loves it - started with an excel, is now running a civic.

[ED40]

ran a VS commo once and had a blast. There is a thread already on this if you haven't seen.
You can share the car with up to 4 people I think so its ridiculously fun and cheap. Rally tyres if you want to be somewhat competitive.

They also hold these in bunbury, beverly and a few other places which we haven't done yet but Bunbury track looks really good!

[ALEX.]

Oh so the President has to start the thread for anyone to be interested!? :P
Already a thread Brockas.

I can't make this Wednesday but will do the one after which is in early December. It's good fun and you DONT need gravel/dirt tyres. Toward the end of the night the racing line is so smooth you're actually quicker on road tyres!

[Darkside]

^^ So can we have cliff notes on the basic things that make a suitable car? :) Too lazy to read rulebooks etc :)

[ED40]

Even bigger heavier rwd cars?

Trying to get my rally car finished and enter this

[ALEX.]

Yes, I'd say so. By the final runs of the night you can hear tire squeal from some cars.
That said, this year it looks like the course takes in a bit more of the outer dirt (as opposed to the inner clay) which can get a bit choppy.

If you run road tyres it's slippery as hell for the first run or two (fun!) but by nights end when you're quicker and the track's quicker it looks like roadies are generally the way to go.

[Greg Rust]

I know a bloke with a RX2 four door that would be perfect for this.

[Niva]

I used to do Autocross (did alright too :D) with the South West Touring car club. FWD dominates!!! would love to do again

Back in the Benger days?

That was my first real go at competitive motorsport when i was 17

[Passage GT]

my niece has a semi fucked suzuki swift sitting in her garage... might have to pinch it.
How hard to get it ready for racing?
I'm assuming an extinguisher as the minimum??

[butters]

I have been wanting to do this ever since there was a Top Gear episode similar to this, have a mate who is keen, might try to get into next year when I'm working perth based.

[200MPH]

We're on our third car so far. It will die this season, well that's the plan. Not so easy to kill an 80s RWD Toyota it seems... Budget $300 tops for a car. Add extinguisher. Race. Smash stuff. Kick out panels or smash off the rest of the damage. Race again. If the smoke gets let out, simply don't turn off between runs.

Very cheap (well, it can be) and great fun. Will miss this round too, but dec or jan is the plan.

We don't touch the car. Tyres, Plugs, oil, water all remain as obtained. Car gets faster as it gets lighter as bits get deposited on the track. Lifting for tyre barriers is optional. Note to self, remember to lift when in expensive car!

[shifted]

Keen for next year. Need to find a Colt I reckon to give it a crack. Looks awesome!

[Niva]

^THIS. there was a supercharged colt and a turbo corolla that always came 1st and 2nd. and my $100 pulsar was a dead 3rd every race hghaha

[urabus]

^^ So can we have cliff notes on the basic things that make a suitable car? :) Too lazy to read rulebooks etc :)

Absolutely no rules except fire extinguisher. Head lights and windows are optional. If you want to win i reckon something like a na impreza 4wd. If you want lots of fun something like a ef / el falcon ir vr / vs commo 6 banger with a welded diff. This does not suit your mantra of if it is worth doing it is worth overdoing mr Blaise.

[c.rusli]

When I sold my First old 68 Mini, I had a chat with the buyer that he built his own open chassis with Mini front sub frames for the Autocross.

Would make sense if I was thinking about it.
Light skeleton with a short wheel base.
Making reverse entry and around the cones would be easy compared to bigger cars.

Somebody do this

So from reading this thread, it sounds like insane amounts of fun if you use a proper cheap shitter.

So keen. Will go have a look tomorrow night and then tee something up. I suspect an informal AL challenge will be the go!

I'm currently on gumtree looking for a weapon for myself, Sloth and Rrob

[Damo 69]

VT with a LS would be good luls

[redline07]

Can't make the one tomorrow but keen to do a few rounds after that. MX5 should be a bit of fun around there.

[Brett_J]

All those years of living in Jarrahdale belting around the tracks in my 79 celica will finally come in handy !
Will be down to have a look tomorrow night, then hit up scumtree !

The green one? Ideas wondering where that had gone

[redline07]

Yeah it's still hanging around so might as well give it a run.

[dmanvan]

I'm currently on gumtree looking for a weapon for myself, Sloth and Rrob carefull not to spook the sensitive BOONGA market..... keep deals to cash under their price and carton (block) of EMU ......:)

Turnip has been told to put the pipe down and get back to putting LS motors in 35R's.

The Hoonda ain't going anywhere near no fucking Autocross fucking track.

[Passage GT]

Can't make it tonight to watch unfortunately, my brothers are keen to give it a crack though, some good cheap bunkies on gumtree, was even a turbo telstar for like 350 bucks!
bulk excels on there.
Antilag challenge for the next round could be a goer i reckon.

[lachy294]

I sort out everyone going out onto the track in the staging lanes so if you want to "race together" just give me a shout and ill make it happen :) but can also say its a bucket load of fun being out there! Next round is reverse direction so its not the same track every time.

[Brockas]

So good. Was emo my basketball game time got changed and I couldn't make it.

Currently hunting for a decent car. Should be out there for the next one.

[200MPH]

Currently hunting for a complete POS, max $500. Should be out there smashing it to pieces for the next one.

[thommo]

How many people running s13s?

[lachy294]

Not many, only seen one recently and that was a gravel rally car. The most common cars are excels, late 90s lancers, couple of pulsars and there are a couple of WRX's that are regulars.

If you are looking to win the night, you'll probably need something AWD. Saying that, the last round of last season was won by a lancer with r-comps on it. When there is a field of 30 or more, the track tends to get very grippy towards the end of the night.

To me a cheap, competitive car will be something light, and has some form of LSD in it.

[ED40]

This is regy and my shitter. $200 gumtree special. We didn't buy it to be competitive (obviously), just for some fun, we only did 1 event but had a really good time. It will return next event hopefully with a handbrake that works better.
http://i201.photobucket.com/albums/aa300/eed250/commo_zpsyfmkk6cc.jpg
To be honest we didn't even really look at the times of the other cars until the end of the night as we were too busy battling eachother. Would be epic if you had 4 people sharing the one car as it only comes down the driver(no bs excuses).
Our best lap times where within a tenth of eachother.

Here is a vid for anyone who wants to know what it's like. Skip forward 30seconds and excuse the sloppy driving.

[Passage GT]

I was looking at cheap fwd cars... but watching that i think fun is overcoming competitiveness, rwd looks so much more fun! Gee a cheap unrego'd s13 would be pretty cool.

[200MPH]

Don't go FWD. It is plain wrong. Fast, and fun it can be, sure. But you need RWD. Problem is getting mid 80's RWD snotbags is pretty hard now. Commode/Falc would do. Auto is not problem. We always just leave the car in 2nd gear with manuals anyways, so not like you're enjoying the purist manual experience at all.... Actually, the term 'purist experience' has no place at these events.

You may be faster in a car with money and time spent on it, but I'll never know. I think we get pretty good results from zero dollars racing, we tend to finish in the top 1/3 of RWD cars typically. It comes down to not caring if you win or bin. Normally, you tend to back off if not sure of making the corner. But with nothing to loose, you don't lift. If you get lucky, you get a good time in a crap car. Or you smash tyre barriers into next week. Either way is winning!

FWIW my wife says I should forget racing my GT and just do this stuff instead. Apparently I'm far happier and less stressed after smashing out time sand panels in a bunky than finding excuses for not winning and tearing up $100's in the GT. She could have a point there...but why not have both (insert meme here etc.).

Needs a few things fixed then good to go

[200MPH]

Needs a few things fixed up then good to go? What? Surely you meant needs a few things smashed off to reduce weight/ugliness. Dunno if possible to remove the ugly from those things, but will be fun watching you restyle it, I'm sure! Washing an autocross car? Again, what!? Have you been paying attention to anything about the way autocross works, at all?

Hanging for December event already... we're in with Team Panel Beater!

[Buckets]

Emo as fuck that none of the dates line up with my breaks.

It sounds so so good.

[ALEX.]

Simon there is something in the regs about cars being too clean.
You'll not pass scruit with a car like that.

That said, the front numberplate looks slightly bent and crooked. More of that.

The genius meth head that owned it tried to fix the distributor and bent the optical trigger so we need to fix that. Also may need a clutch as Rrob tried to kill it on 10min drive home. Plus has an awesome oil leak that needs fixing. Can't fix the ugly but has lsd and 112 killowasps, the weight needs reducing a few 100kg as well. Will be getting the finest distributor advance "98 tune" when done for extra ping.

Wash was to anger brad and also degrease engine bay!

Racing usually kicks off about 6:15/6:30 and goes through till about 9 (just in time to jump over the other side of the bank and watch the burnouts)
Spectator pricing is Perth Motorplex WAW pricing so its $20, might be worth seeing if you can "service crew" for someone :p .

[SimonR32]

My first time last night and most don't take it too seriously with a few taking it way too seriously but the general feeling is it's hilariously fun, basically the cheapest Motorsport you can do...

Our $500 Bluey was around mid pack most of the night and copped a little bit of fender damage due to Robs driving but still good to go. Track is surprisingly grippy when dry (but very bumpy) and almost like ice when wet.

We (the two antilag Bluebirds) only got reprimanded twice last night, once for our sideways behavior after the finish line and once for ramming cars in the staging lane haha

[dmanvan]

isnt ramming cars in the staging lane sort of like a bit of friendly sledging.....:)

[lachy294]

When i sent out out after the water truck, the guys up stairs were loosing it laughing along with everyone else. :p
Hopefully they prep the track a bit better next time, thats the driest I've seen it for a while...

Cheers for the laughs along the way last night guys!

[200MPH]

Team Panel Beater had a fail and ran out of time and enthusiasm to enter last night. And money seeing as my other car needs brakes. January it'll have to be. Would have been warm last night! Sweaty dust bath...mmm.

I will kick in another panel on the car when I get home today to make it feel loved at least.

Reprimand for sideways after finish line must have been a big effort. Last year one of our team drivers (I won't name names 2X044) managed to lose it and centre punch a tyre barrier after the finish line without a reprimand. At least that we know of...

[Brockas]

I now realise there's two very different types of motorsport that I love. One type which is just high-adrenaline stuff (Targa etc), and light-hearted hilarious stuff (Autocross).

It would be pretty close to the most amount of fun I've had in a car since bush-bashing at a mates farm when I was young. Can't believe how much of an awesome time everyone was having. Just constant laughs and highlights.


When i sent out out after the water truck, the guys up stairs were loosing it laughing along with everyone else. :p
LOL. That was like an ice rink. Steering wheel was useless for a good portion of it, you just went wherever the momentum took you!



So. So. So good. Everyone needs to come and try this.

[ZAK]

Going halves with a mate in a car early next year. Are there any events that run during winter? Even at the tracks out of Perth.. Don't want to be waiting til next season!

Also peoples thoughts on FWD vs RWD, are you guys steering you FWD's with the handbrake haha? We were thinking possibly a 4AGE KE70 or similar but FWD seems a lot more popular.

[200MPH]

Winter = BORMSA. Better than summer autocross for fun even.

[Fozzy]

Well that escalated quickly.. Might have a potential autocross machine here.

Show off! Hope you don't want to keep the rear bumper for other uses, cause we will be doing our best to give it a touch up. In pit or on track, no matter.

If I can work out the online entry system (failing so far), then team panel beater will get the Celica fired up again. Just gotta clean out all the spiders, find a battery, pump up tyres, lots of start-ya-bastard and see how we go. Hasn't been started in a year, but we only bring it out for the big events! Oh, and borrow a trailer of some sort to get it there, and maybe home, depending if it lives the night. Unfortunately it probably will.

Just two of us entering in it thus far. If you want a drive (we can have 3 drivers), hit me up and I'll talk to the other party who has shares in this zero dollar high stakes racing team about admitting you to the top end of motorsport royalty.

[Brockas]

Game on. Forgot to enter today, will do tomorrow.

[ALEX.]

^ I am free for this one so literally have just put the entry in at CAMS and DD the money.

I figure that my rex with –
• 350,000k's on the clock
• only makes half regular boost when getting hot (7psi)
• outside looks more and more like a bunky each day with fading paint and dented panels
– I can just qualify to be considered as being an almost allowable legit autocross car.

Will run road tyres and slide around like a loon for the first few runs on the wet dirt. Having not had a go for a few years this should be fun!

Last minute racing. I endorse this method of madness! Better go look at our weapon of choice soon and maybe see if it will go. Nah, too early junior....

Yep, 1 kg fire ext. and 4 wheels is about all you need. Helmet, long pants (pants!?), shirt and enclosed shoes. We generally go hi-vis work gear and big boots. Finesse has no place in rallycross.

If your puss-bucket doesn't work out, just turn up. We've got a driver spot left in our transport of delight if need be. If you do, then remember you owe me a drive of the 911!

Great night again. These nights are just the best fun for the cash.

Great fun. Smashed both side mirrors up and remodelled front guards a little, but otherwise Celica going hard (slow) as ever. The push start with bonnet up while spraying start ya bastard into it is getting a bit labour intensive however...
Should do something about that...or not.

Dead blueturd is a sign Brockas. Go RWD and struggle like us. Then I might not tap you in Staging Lane. Might.

[Darkside]

Well managed to do a last minute master cylinder install and engage the services of a random young lad in the car park at the motorplex to help me bleed them up. Success. Had brakes. Then i did recci. I heard it was a little rough but fuck me!!!!!!!! :) Poor little swift with about 20mm of bump travel and 400lb springs and low profile tyres was punishing. Was crashing so hard over bumps the windscreen wiper stalk was turning on all by itself and the roof panel was playing a tune rolf harris would be proud of. Decided after a couple of timed runs I just couldn't bury my mechanical sympathy any more.. Am about 2 inches shorter with a splitting headache today.... :) oh and got a nice dose of food poisoning from my "steak burger" from the food van. :)

Needs a little more suspension travel and some sensible tyres but the event is a shit tonne of fun. Zero fucks given racing. The bluebird duel was highly amusing. Surprised it lasted all night. Was pretty sad by the second round.

[SimonR32]

So
Much
Fun

Also great fun watching Blaise's suspension work that hard! Don't feel too bad about the windscreen wipers as ours did it at least once and the other Bluey did it about every run. Our key also fell out of the ignition during my second run onto my knee which was fairly amusing. Stayed in center console the rest of the night (please don't take this as an invitation to steal it haha)

[Riggs]

OMG This is amazing.

Ol' bluey lasted the night (just) we were all getting faster each run as the track was getting more and more grip. The car was cooking so much we couldn't pour any water in the radiator as it just boiled out so I did my last run without the cap on. The car protested and I went slower then my previous run but still loved it.

Each of us taking very different approaches to how we drove the car and the times were all still so close!

Best part is the whole zfg attitude you have, your sliding toward a wall/barrier and just giggle because you don't give a shit if you hit it!

That will be awesome. Good little cars.

[Brockas]

Went to collect a car last night. Turns out it was auto. Cannot.

Gumtreeing frantically today.

[200MPH]

Would auto be that bad really? Ours just stays in 2nd the whole time, so not like a manual gearbag would make much difference I'd have thought.

Can't do this round. Idiot #1 is flying back that night from working out bush and Idiot #2 is taking Honda to WAW, with the aim of finding a VTEC lover who would like to buy it. Hmmm, could make a good autocross weapon now I think about it! But no... So will come have a look and laugh throughout the night at least.

Was that the bluebird?

[Passage GT]

Just drove the little Barina from Nollamara to Spearwood, drives really good, looks rough as but it's only done 155000km, feels so weird driving something so small and darty after being in 4x4's for so long.
Leaving the house a small rollback resulted in clutch slip... then wheelspin all the way to the end of the street which was hilarious.
but yeah clutch needs doing, brakes need bleeding and i'll have a look at anything else broken underneath, going down for a look see on Wednesday and check it out, hopefully it's enough to convince my brothers they want a crack and to split costs.
Then look at entering round 5.

[ED40]

haha thought you were joining us at the back in a rwd car!

[Brockas]

Was that the bluebird?

Indeed.

All good, we found something! Game on for tomorrow night!

[Passage GT]

haha thought you were joining us at the back in a rwd car!
That was honestly the plan! but this was meant to be my niece's first car but they got the rego papers wrong, fucked up, it ran out of rego and it was cheap as, I think we'll still have some fun in it, I've convinced the brothers to come down Wednesday night to see what it's about, I'm certain they'll be convinced to get whatever we need sorted for the following round... probably blow the clutch and then have until next season for upgrades haha

[butters]

will try and convince a mate to come down and have a look, then try and convince we need to do this next season

[MrSparkle]

Wrx should be cheap enough now? Will eat that shit up.

[Joe]

Will eat those gearboxes up too

[Evoboycorey]

i have an unregistered charade could be of use for this event. up on forums/gumtree/fb for 400$ but willing to take 250$ for ALM members.

[Riggs]

We have had an eye on a few cheap wrx's

but they are shit

[SimonR32]

Indeed.

All good, we found something! Game on for tomorrow night!

Impretttttttttttttzzzzzzzzaaaaaaaaaa

It better not be 4wd

[Sciflyer]

LX were just the FWD ones wernt they?

Better be or suitable penalties will need to be enacted

[Passage GT]

do you have to pay spectator entry to waw to watch this or is it separate?

[The_Senator]

$20 gets you spectator entry for both - we generally pop between the 2 sites.. Especially when the bikes are racing (Or Brett Stewarts crew oil downs again)

[Sciflyer]

So much fun!

Will be back next round with some serious performance mods such as siliconing the intake pipe/filter so it doesnt come off, and angrygrinding half the exhaust off

[crabman]

Finally saw this last night. Looks like a damn good heap of fun. If only I had room for a third car and a car trailer lol.

[The_Senator]

Whom had the Blue V8 Lexus? They where having the most fun that's for sure!

Poor Mr Subaru - seemed to have a failed clutch?

many LOLS watching from the sideline. Well done to all those who had a go!

[Brockas]

Impreza LX was awesome fun. So well balanced, just painfully slow (N/A 1.8L shitter).

Needs EJ20.

Us at the Bunbury Autocross track. 1 litre turbo LHD buggy, was probably one of the best days I had in a while. Being rear engined shifting weight was awesome fun.

[SimonR32]

3 decent crashes, many bumpers nudged in the pits, burnouts at the start line and some reverse donuts... Good night all round haha

[Miggy]

Bump. Who is entering this season?

After seeing Brockas FB post it made me keen to have a crack even if I'll only be able to make a couple of events. It seems that slow rwd V8's are the rage this season so I think that's how we will be going. Can't wait.

[ED40]

Hopeful we will make it to a few in the mang mang vs commodore. RWD definitely for the fun factor mate!

[SimonR32]

We will be back in our Bluebird, the thing is starting to need a new clutch and we found one for 50% in some run out stock so loving life. Just need to install it now!

Definitely don't need RWD for fun or to be fast for that matter :)

[SimonR32]

PS. Might have to do a live facebook video

#live4mav

[Sebdullah]

anybody opted for a minivan yet??

[Sciflyer]

I would think if youre running 2wd the most important thing would be either LSD or welded diff for traction, anything else (power, rally tyres etc) is just a nice-to-have...

Soarer will be there again. Only performance mods are an LSD rear end that no longer wants to detach itself from the car, and possibly rally tyres if i get them fitted in time :)

[Brockas]

Celsior is sorted. Diff being welded Friday. All ready for autocross in style on Wednesday.

[SimonR32]

I would think if youre running 2wd the most important thing would be either LSD or welded diff for traction, anything else (power, rally tyres etc) is just a nice-to-have...

Get the Gator off the farm. That thing would be deeeeeeluxe. (Or just take the Jeep... A/C is run mid week when the Bosslady is away onsite. What she doesn't know can't hurt her and is very entertaining for us when she finds out after the fact.)

Aus day start/stop rape again

[Buckets]

Hazy memories of that evening are flooding back now. They are good memories, good good memories. And then there were Hippos next door and a very Rhangry Dr. Even better was the drive home where someone who'd raised the ire of the Dr was opening the door of a sign written work vehicle yelling at randoms stuck in traffic and asking them if they thought the Dr was a "shitpingpingpingping" for kicking him out...

We may grow old however it seems we'll never quite get around to growing up. Given this mentality prevailing among the nefarious people involved in this Autocross caper it promises to be quite the good time I think.

[Riggs]

I had 100% forgotten about that night and all those events.

[Sciflyer]

One of the officials did get a bit upset last time when we had some end-of-season shenanigens, seems to depend on who is running the show

Maybe donuts, "accidental" nudging and getting on the brake on the start line crossed the line so to speak haha

[Riggs]

Lol turner doing a 360 over the line as well

Can play up a little but don't be too silly as it will piss off some of the more serious competitors and get called into the Stewards... It's more fun watching them being serious and beating them on the track anyway

[Sciflyer]

yeah im surprised how far up the pointy end we all get with shitboxes on street tyres vs. dudes that look like they are taking it super seriously

That would have been me that was forced to tell you that the powers upstairs would like it brought back in. The bumping is generally fine and usually giggled at(as long as its "safe"), the "intentional" spins are frowned upon just because it has ended badly in the past. Don't quote me on any of this though.

For reference the fastest laps I've seen done is by a 1.8 FWD lancer running old A050 Semi Slicks, shit for the first 2 runs but as soon as the shine comes up on the track, it was straight to the front. He also beat a Evo 7 gravel rally car in the final.

If youre the guy who was chatting to us earlier, it was one of the other guys im thinking of (sorry, i didnt catch anyones name...)

Interesting about the tyres, so rally tyres will be better when its wet and slippery as fuck, but it sounds like they may not be worth it towards the end of the night? Maybe worth just using normal tyres and riding out the wet track and save the rally tyres for other pursuits ;)

Yeah standard L2S stuff - helmet, long sleeves/pants and closed shoes

[Buckets]

Track needs to stay soaked IMO. Fuck chasing times, keen for single pegger sideways action on the dirt.

(Plus our thing is most likely dangerous when it comes to cornering on a grippy surface, will wind up on the roof)

JME / Joe / Urabus are peddling the VT2NV for this round. I'm just praying it stays alive for Decembers round...

[Saint_23]

Short of reading all the cams regs, what are the clothing requirements? Basic open face helmet and long sleeves?

Usual long pants, long sleeves, enclosed shoes.
Compliant helmet (No motorcross helmets)
Car needs fire extinguisher and battery triangle. Battery secure and positive terminal covered.

I wont be scrutineering this round as I got roped into being Event Secretary, so I'll waive the usual "scrutineering fee". ;)

Looking forward to seeing you all out there.

[Riggs]

Will you be on the start line again? if so can you line us up behind the arancini ball and let us go straight after it? I want to ram the fuck out of those pingpingpingpings.

Shirtless lapdance/BBBJ/nude massage for the privelage.

[skidkid]

Also being lazy and haven't read the regs yet, what are the requirements around completeness of vehicles? Could a ute get away with not having a tray?

[200MPH]

Based on the complete smouldering wrecks team panel beater start out with, I think you'll be fine with whatever you bring.
Unfortunately we had a fence built with our new neghbours, so I gotta cut down a tree or three to get our beast released into the wild. Then again, just as likely the good wife will say cut the car up instead...

Hmmmm... not sure on that one Tomboy.
They Supp Regs say that a vehicle must comply with CAMS Manual of Motorsport, Schedule A & B (http://docs.cams.com.au/Manual/GeneralRequirements/GQ03-Schedule-AB-2016-1.pdf).
I would expect that it would be at the discretion of the Stewards to allow it compete.

too much rain we don't run, but a bit of rain part way though is good for making it interesting.

[Saint_23]

Hate to be the bearer of bad news... tonight is cancelled.
The infield is underwater and with no sun or rain will not dry out in time for tonight.

Still to be confirmed, but organisers are working on a rescheduled date before the end of the month.

Break my heart, having a shit week! Was looking forward to it, but I guess new Motorplex will cancel Autocross because they wouldn't be running WAW

[jayrod]

Me and Wes will be there with our mad car :P

Gates for spectators open at 5:30 racing from ~6:15/6:30

I'll be the one attempting to organize everyone into the groups to get out on the track, hopefully I don't get told to have a chat to anyone :p

[Ash]

Did a few stickers for tonight, cant wait! it will be the first time the car will be on a track so a bit of a shake down i hope nothing falls off!

PS if anyone wants vinyl cut stickers for anything let me know, i accept cash, car parts or Shiraz as currency :) i also do graphics & printing from home FYI.

So. Much. Fun. :D

Lexbus punched above its (considerable) weight, much drift, won award for best broken diff single pegger of the night
YPR had the wheels driven off it but needed more mangmang, diff welding and a non-fucked box by the sounds?
Blue Dardywagon quick, cant believe you guys got 300kg out of that thing haha
Silver Mangmang driven hard, sparks, flamage :thumbsup:
Poobird quick, running reliably for a dirty Nissan, needs rally tyres on the front ;)

Hats off to Lachy and the guys for keeping a Gumtrees' worth of assorted shitboxen organised and running smoothly - good work!


^ What happened to the Escort?

[jayrod]

Was good fun!!!

Loved seeing the assortment of cars

Got some 2 wheel action in the Outback haha

[Turboesky]

^ What happened to the Escort?

Shredded the clutch disc.

[Ash]

^ What happened to the Escort?

It was its first day out and we were using it to see what would fail, most of the running is gear is pretty standard, Andrew did his 3 laps all was good when i jumped in i got to the first corner i went to change down and the clutch exploded! there where bits all in the bell housing, not sure how old it was but I'll fit a new one and have it ready for the next round and see what breaks then.

[confuzion]

Was awesome fun, and god damn so funny! Was in the bluedardywagon with Clint, actual surprised how well it did and is still running, considering it had no battery or power steering hose when we inspected/bought it and was pissing fluid out when we first turned it on, and the drivers window doesn't stay up without gaffa tape
Loved all the yolo sideways actions, dardyalis was funny as, and the big burnout in the Lexbus when the diff decided to separate from the chassis :p I had just finished my run and came back onto the infield and saw this massive plume of smoke :D
Keen for the next one!

[confuzion]

I forgot to mention, the winner of our little 'AL series' wins a trophy..

[Brockas]

Mang fucking mang.

Dardialis needs stockies on the back. So ready to mang and spear one of it's drivers with a fence post from the cage.

Great to see so many people down there. Even with 45 everything ran pretty smoothly and we all got plenty of runs.

Flexus is the best. So much sideways. It's that good we'll actually fix this one instead of sending it to the scrap metal heap.

Damn engineers need to learn how to loctite

After 2 highly respected lads of our streets came asking for some assistance and requiring some Loctite and a "bolt" - this thread become of interest.

On a serious note this does look like fun and it may be a while since I see my "Super" stud lock returned. Oh and I did say 1 drop only. I have no doubt the dynamic duo will do 3-8 drops just in case.....

16s might be tricky, seems 90% of secondhand tyres around are either 14s or 15s

Try Becker Tyres in Mundaring or Kostera's in Kalamunda

But tbh its not a huge advantage over normal street tyres especially later in teh night when the clay gets really compacted

[Ash]

Unfortunately wont be there, i haven't had time to change out the clutch and Christmas funds are low.

Very entertaining watching. The Lexus was just thrashed all night - the Bluebird "met" the tyres and that Orange Commodore with the cut guards was Hilarious.

Turbo fell off when Taz had it at an ALM collie day , he just bolted it back on , easy fix :P

I finally made one of these and it's brilliant! Even though I didn't complete one race with out looping it or hitting the tyre barriers, I think a bit less yolo is needed for the next round. Even so everyone should get involved all the competitors and officials are friendly with no big ego's to be found.

This SSS rolled over at the start of the event due to hitting a some damage on the surface of the track that had a lip. All good though just remove the smashed windshield of the SSS, put some cones on the lip that caused the car to roll and back to racing!

It's fucking awesome isn't it. For the money there's no better fun on four wheels.

[Sciflyer]

Rollover was an interesting start to the night, we were watching the SSS as it looked extra bunky in the suspension, went over the hump and did a complete barrel roll :eek: landed back on its wheels minus most of its glass, guy was like "it's still good!" and tried to carry on! Adrenalin at that stage I guess

It held up better than I thought it would

Track was really fast, we were hitting around 110 (with wheelspin) on the s/f straight, got some runs on camera (the slower ones unfortunately, this is one of the wet track ones)

Nice one. If this VZ shitter I have survives bucks day antics, will be there.

[ED40]

So much carnage on wed night was a great laugh.
Some cool new cars and lots of fun and antics, good night!

We had a few issues with our car including losing the clutch pedal. We are thinking about replacing the pressure plate but at the same time it is probably easier to just buy a new car. lol.
