I found out that you only need the weight of your car if you want to use the Horespower function of the G-tech meter, the quatrer mile function doesn't require this info. I'll try it in my LX this weekend and see how I go.

HB1200

Thats right its only for hp figures and i believe the gtech has to be calibrated to each car with the tacho calibration but that may only be for the readouts on the gtech pro , i doubt it will affect the outcome of the time. To tell you how accurate they are there were two mercs at WSID running around the 13.7 mark and the gtech was out only by .2 and i think that has to do with rollout, meaning that the gtech will start timing the instant it feels g's where at the track you may be travelling around 2kph before breaking the beam and starting the clock, hope that makes sense

I am only accepting entry to the event by signed entry form (aka disclaimer). So I will at least need your details via email or PM, and then on the day i have to have the signed entry in my hand B4 u can spectate.

Re the stamp out : as its out 1st show there I dont want the headache of keepin an eye on whose coming and going. This could also cause me issues with someone coming back pissed and I dont want that stress. If the situation arises that someone just has to go somewhere then I will deal with it at the time.

Roughly atm I have 20 cars, but because I dont have all entries yet I am unsure as to how many sectators will be coming as passengers. I have allowed for 40 ppl and I dont want much more than that so I can enjoy myself also. :rockon: but this is adaptable.

One of the main reasons I NEEDED RSVP BY 22nd Nov was cause we would need 2 supply extra toilets if we had too many ppl.

Any one wanting to spectate or enter I am closing entries off officially this frid, last attempt :rolleyes:

Non club members welcome, but ya gotta be quick.

pity u cant make it damo.

slowly getting entries in. 12 definates (???) 8 still waiting to hear back from.

Unfortunately Ruby wont b there. I will b bringing Elsie, LOOK OUT :tease:
There is a little (cough, cough) Hillman 4 banger coming to go up againts Elsie, BUT the minx is modified a tad. I will probably be blinded by tears of laughter and I wont b able to drive. Looking forward to it. :rockon:

Its gunna be a great sight out there, DONT FORGET YA CAMERAS. I will need someone who can get decent pics as I am hopeless.

I am going to Goolwa this sat for a visit and to suss out side entry gate position, I mite just c if I can give elsie a run so I aint so nervous next sat :tease:

I would also like help on the gate(s). I will need u to collect any outstanding entries, ensure that everyones name is on the signed entry that is coming thru gates. Give directions for entrant cars and also directions for spectators cars (spectator cars will b allowed to drive onto airport grounds to unload chairs, sun shelter etc, but then will need to park back in visitor carpark.) And of course collect money.

This is where I need names and details NOW, I will have a list of Entrants on the gates and only those on that list will be allowed entry on the day. Gates will only be open for entry till 6.30pm.

There will b security guards around so that will help this event run smoothly.

c u soon

Kaz,

Allow 2 hrs travel time at least from bl@@dy Poo-livar. Will the southern express be in your favour?

Also has everyone organised a tray top lift home when they blow that super tough holden drive line? Long way from home.
