This is a EOI!

Anyone keen to share a day with other Mazdas at Roadcraft at Gympie?

I normally plan out the days like this. But change it depending on drivers needs or skill levels, (or lack of).

8:15 arrive
8:30 drivers briefing
8:45 dry/wet braking
10:00 slalom/over-steer control
11:15 lunch (cars must stop)
12:00 motorkhana 1
1:00 motorkhana 2
2:00 motorkhana 3
3:00 superloop
3:45 drivers briefing
4:00 exit

Cost will be somewhere around $100 (includes BBQ lunch for yourself and passenger). Deposit paid to secure place. Balance paid 4-6 weeks before event.

Requirements:-
open license
roadworthy car
good attitude

Cheers,
Ryan

p.s. Roadcraft didn't raise the hire fees this year, so cost wont to up.

How many people will you need to make it feasible?

Also, did you have any thoughts on which month it will be in?

cost is varible on number of drivers. so feasible amount if drivers if varible also. depending on how many you set as maximum in 1st place.

14 drivers = $100
13 drivers = $108
12 drivers = $117
11 drivers = $128
10 drivers = $140

I have previously just run the maxmum allowable people to keep costs down. But if peeps want more time on the pan, then peeps will just need to pay more.

What about a cruise on sunday arvo cruise out through nebo to wivenhoe for a BBQ then highway it back?

Leave like 3pm get to picnic area about 4:30? Have a BBQ and such plenty of time to chill, have a few drinks, catch up and cruise on home via highway.

Both sound good to me

Ryan, where would the Dyno Day be held? At the new workshop on Zillmere Road?

I don't think they have a dyno do they? If so, i totally missed it on the open day. You could always do runs down at East Coast Customs @ Aspley. They use the exhaust mounted o2 sensor on their runs so you can see whats happening with AFRs.

either sounds good to me. you'd hope they use a AFR every run when on a dyno. otherwise the runs are just useless.

Tell me about it. The only time i've done a run and the graph didn't even have torque on it. Plus it was Rotary Motorsport who are known for having a low reading unit. 141hp atw on my car is bullcrap for a BPT running 12psi.

They do use a tail pipe exhaust sensor, its a full AWD dyno and if someone just wants to have their car dynoed without waiting for our next day I can arrange that as well.

When they are running a dyno the weather conditions have to be correctly entered into the computer otherwise the figures are incorrect.
Also they can only print 2 curves on the graph and from what I understand a lot of dyno operators dont understand how to use the dyno software correctly.
