Willowbank Test n Tune

[Treza360]

BrisGTI run a lower psi in ur tyres somewhere between 20 and 30 depends what u reckon u can get away with btwn the servo and the track also dont rev the engine out not much point in most vws, dont worry about reaction time to start with as it doesnt count to ur e/t and most importantly
HAVE FUN

Another point to add is that unless you intend to do a mighty awesome mother of all burnouts, don't drive through the water or whatever it is they spray down. Unless you're going to use it to warm your tyres up what's the point in getthing them wet and cooling them down.

Run your own race as you're there to see what you can do and not what the bloke in the ported and tubbed twin turbo, 900kg Mazda RX3 can do (the answer to this is faster than you).

Useful information can also be fun.

I was wondering what a good tyre pressure would be for the 1/4 run.
In the dyno runs the GTI has done after 5500rpm HP starts to go down so normally change around then anyway.

I'll definately try to make it, but I'll have to be there early, if anyone else is going early (16:30ish).

I've got prior arrangments for that evening but would love to tear down the strip on the way.

Cheers

Question for the drags do they allow in car camera mounts to be fitted?

Just wondering if anyone has done this before at willowbank.

Hoyhoy.
Jason & others, me has decided to give this one a miss because I just found out that this particular Saturday there is a Power Cruise at Qld Raceway & when its over there will be a lot of them hitting Willow Bank.
Coming from someone that went last year said that we will be lucky to even get a second run, so me is not going.

[jasn78]

Eddy thanks for the heads up.

Any1 else thinking might be a good idea to postpone?

It might be a good idea because if you at paying $36 + fuel driving down there and you only get 1 or if luck 2 run not really worth it.

I think it should be postpone till the next one which will be on a Saturday. Just my 2c

Hoyhoy.
The Saturday after there seems to be an extra event as well called Street Series, don't know what difference it makes.
The two Sat's afterwards seem to be straight Test & Tune.

Just wondering if anyone has done this before at willowbank.

I have a car camera mount. I'll bring her with and she can sit in the back seat...



So where exactly is this Mobil we're meet at at 4???

(Google Map would be helpful, but I'll settle for road name and nearest intersection)
