I have been reliably informed that summer is coming and therefore the water will evaporate...lol

Heard some one went to meeting (club I believe), paid entry 3 races, of 6 laps and did total of 9 laps racing and rest following around infile, or red flag and thats it. Wall damage and because cars were on track with no where to pull off or go, real good.
So with practice (4 laps as long as no one stops) and 9 race laps expensive per lap. Mind you think of the savings on tyres, petrol, engine.
If you want mileage, get a job driving safety car, it does most.
What i want to hear is have they put the time and money into stopping the water getting on to the track.Originally Posted by Rod Grimwood
Does this answer your question- headline in todays Herald-
Racing: Rain the key to chances at Pukekohe.Okay, let's take the positive approach and say, for the sake of this column, it will rain at Pukekohe Park for the Counties meeting..Whether it rains will be the difference between eye fillet and supermarket sausages for dinner next week.
If its wet they will be needing spatulas to scrape the Historic Sports Sedans off the walls, and what will the owners be eating to afford to fix their valuable cars.

Most probably waiting for summer, that will fix it.
Sorry but when mine is ready it will not be going there, and I loved the place way back.
Thats a big call Rod,understand completely, I am sure many others feel the same.
Right John, but heard and seen to much from the concrete and at least you have a sporting chance if you wander a bit wide at other places, which we tend to do some times.
Trouble is that you, and others who feel this way,are not going to influence the decision makers into doing what is sensible
Par for the coarse, but we have to make decisions some times, and thats my feeling about the place now and every one else will have there's as is their right.
I don't have lotto backing me so am very conscious of any damage/expense and want to give myself a sporting chance. Maybe a bit gun shy after my biff in rally car which is hurting pocket as well, and that was my fault no one else's.
Would be 100 % with you on that one Grimmy,as you probably know of old ,I am brave but not stupid ,no one is going to stomp up up and help with costs when you demolish it ,I went to, two club meetings at the end of last season spectating at Puke ,both were basically wash outs ,its bad enough loosing your money just for admittance as a spectator ,let alone paying a entry fee for the chances of half a days racing ,or doing heaps of damage on a whole lot of water that has got no where to go

So are you both going Escort jiving at Hampton Downs in the very near future?
Hopefully
And remember jiving is 176 beats per minute.....
Found the motor under all the stuff at the back of the garage yet , Rod?
You would think they'd get their finger out and get it sorted, if the corrupt wankers, I mean V8Supercars admin get to hear of it and there's a chance of their championship round being compromised by on-track standing water, they would be extremely upset, and when they get cranky there are often lawyers involved...
Just trying to sort a dry sump system out for it John, if you know where there may be one lying around give me a yell. (2ltr Pinto block) Taking all brakes off for refresh (only done in 1993 and not moved), then start on body (mine as well)
Rod- by putting a yell here for the dry sump, something may appear.
Just sorted out one for my XA.
By doing a dry sump, you are definitely getting ready for HD.
BTW- what happened to the one off the motor?
Would an accumulator be suitable here?
Car body will be easier and cheaper to get into shape than human body
Bog is cheaper than botox

Got a big sump with gates etc, but HD is dry sump territory
Bite the bullet Rod ,and buy a decent one ,in the long run it will be cheaper than a engine rebuild
Got mine from Shane Johnson at Segedins- possibility here?
