It does a great job of keeping the stones off my Cobra from the tow vehicle though. Cheers Gregg |

My Coupe is not going to make it to this years event, after a couple of delays with the build.
I was planning to come down on Saturday from Sydney.. Is there a run sheet for the weekend on any of the club sites I could download..? With thanks Chris |

Check out the forecast - couldn't be any better.
Andy's gunna be building up a sweat in that fireproof lycra driving suit :-) |
If you look at the table of contents on the first page of the Supp Regs, you will get a good idea the schedule for the weekend.
http://www.cobracarclubnsw.org.au/ed...egulations.pdf It's basically: Friday - full day Practice Saturday 7-8:30 Show N Shine 9 - to about 12 noon - Slalom, Hill Climb and Drags (run concurrently) 3-4:30 Single hot lap sprints Sunday - 9 to 4:30 - Supersprints all day |
thanks Kimbo

And don't forget scrutineering is first thing Friday morning, get your wrist bands from the office first or you won't be scrutineered.
Don't forget to check your fire extinguishers!!!! Older than three years and you will be asked to buy a new one. They usually have some for sale at scrutineering. Another thing, We want to see the battery and check to make sure it is mechanically secure. This is not an 'eye' test, if you car rolls and the battery falls out because it is not secure then there is a good chance it will short out and create a spark / fire...... We don't want that. And lastly make sure your brake light is working!!! These are the three main things that people fail on the day so make sure you aren't that person. Bring on the weekend!!!!!!! |
Just as a small addition to that, we have always had the issue of a big line up outside the office to sign in and get your wrist bands before scrutineering.
This year we are planning to set up a club desk out front of the office for the entrants that have a current track (CAMS, aasa etc.) license. This means you won't have to go into the office or wait for the 8am office opening time (for the early birds). You will simply be able to fill out the form, show your license and get your wrist band out front. |

Sitting here jealously reading the posts, sad the Cobras gone but that's life....
Have a great weekend fellas, try to keep on the blacktop (unlike me) drive within your limits and come come safely....however, on the track, GO FOR IT! |
Have fun all, I am actually wishing I had organised time off to head over.
Really thought I was over racing the Cobra. |
As an interested bystander, wanting to be part of the action! How is the king cobra determined, show n shine is easy to judge the different spec cars, how does performance get equalized from the different categories. ie 5l motor compared to a 6.2l s/c in a drag, cat 1 v cat 7
cheers jon |
The points for king cobra are taken from the overall results regardless of class.
Tyres are the biggest factor IMHO, there are a couple of 5ltr cars that will spank my 7ltr on the track but they lack the power in the drags, so it all equals out. |
Do the control tyres hold the advantage or do the supa dupa road tyres on 18" rims hold sway?
|
The supa dupa, like Yoko A050 are faster than the Kumho KU36
|
Hoity, The KU36 is considered a "extreme performance tyre", so basically the softest style of road tyre before you get into the R Specs like R888, NT01 and A050. As a lot of folk were running these as their street tyre, the new class 7 was introduced last year - basically for those who want to have a bit of fun without going stupid fast and\or having the budget for an extra set of wheels\R spec tyres. I think there are a few extras in this class this year including a club pres with a track virgin Pace. Should be a lot of fun. :)
Weather here is just beautiful so have been out a bit over the last few days making sure everything still works. Not a lot of changes from last year - maybe just a few less stickers. :) |
Thanks for details, hope to get up there and have a look at how it all works.
|
Will there, is there a program listing cars, drivers etc. interested in what brand of car and what class it's in.
Cheere |
There's no 'program' produced for the event, good idea however. We used to capture brand and engine size back in the West Wyalong days. I think the entry form has engine size for classes.
I think there is a list pinned on the wall of the control tower showing the class number and its updated with results during the day. Class number will give you an idea of the engine capacity for most classes. |
