While I will not be competing,  I will definitely be there as a supporter / spectator.

Certainly looks like it could be something real fun to be a part of for southerners.  I'm just looking at logistics.......tempting...over a 1,000k's of driving there though  

Just looked at the regs and I maybe wrong but the typhoon is able to run so if anybody comes up with a idea of how to get down there we should put our heads together and look at logistics.

Have checked the regs again and if its a scooter without glass you can run it so the mind is racing now, will talk to some people and contacts in sydney tomorrow and lets see what happens ,some representation from QLD would be a good thing.

 Yeap the regs are really simple to get everyone racing.  It is great to see.  I don't care if I am racing a stock 50cc against a modified 50cc, it is about the racing and getting out there.

If driving my LPG Foulcan wagon with cruise control.  5 seats.  Usually 400k's per tank of 60litres....with loaded trailer could be as low as 300K's, so making 180 litres of LPG one-way from Brissy.

$100 race entry plus $10 "track entry"

" 7.ENTRY PASSES:
 
7.1.  Everyone entering the track before 8.30 must pay entry fee of $10.00 "

" 7.2.NO PASSES WILL BE ISSUED " 
 

Rob with entry to the track and transponder deposit day licence its around $180:00 for the meeting, just have to see what can be organised.

hey guys, Just a little thing of interest!  If you can got or can get access to a PS2 or Xbox, load up V8 Supercars 3.  In the go karts section of the game (which I think from memory is accessable right from the start, meaning you don't have to play it to unlock etc etc) and There is the Oran Park Go Kart Track to try.  Get a good view of corner approaches etc.  I wasn't sure about this as I don't currently have a copy of the game (used to...) but a friend who I use to race against with V8 SC3 via a network is pretty sure this is the case as he still has his copy.

I might try and get hold of a copy tomorrow and get some video for you ..... 

this link might be of interest as it shows some kart racing at Oran Park

Got some vid but I had to attempt it a few times cause it was hard to vid but it starts pretty well straight away. You'll probably notice it's a little figure8.

Just had a look at the track map and not sure how it will figure in but it should be fun.

Anyway, here's the vid.

Wonder how realistic the track is on the box.  Hitting 130-140kmh in the karts!!! Wonder how the 50cc scoot will handle it.....Awesome!!!

My wagon is not well after the trip down to the Scooter Rally, & so not available for the trip till it's sorted.  Currently thinking ISC valve / oxy xensor, if anyone knows about cars.  The LPG played up when going there......climbing a hard climb the gas did the freezer thing on me, but it's always been shakey for hard towing even though I got an LPG guy to service it last year.

Main prob occurred on the way back when we missed a turn somewhere & ended up in downtown Surfers Paradise in all the traffic & heat.  All was ok till I gave the car a bit of a rest & some air with the hood up while Shel & I snacked at a servo.  Pulling away from the servo the petrol accelleration was dead.  Switched over to LPG & it ran lumpy as hell......felt like the car was struggling from thereon. It hadn't had a backfire, & so the vac lines were ok.   At higher revs it was ok, but still no petrol.  Was on the freeway, & it might have been the corrugations in the concrete road that's by Seaworld etc etc, but it felt like it was trying to do the lpg freeze again as though it was spluttering.....not really sure if it was dodgy.....might have just been paranoia.

It got up the Range ok on LPG.  Currently thinking the seldom full tank of petrol dislodged some crap from the inside of the tank & so a fuel filter is needed.  LPG is a bit lumpy, but not missing (like it would if a plug lead was shot) & so am thinking oxy sensor or ISC.   The car has a history of not holding any idle if it was a baking hot day......after holding the revs with the hood up it seemed to cool down whatever was heat stressed......always thought it was the elctronics of the LPG system as there's a bunch of relays & an LPG elec unit up the the top LH corner of the bay, & it's very hot there.   *shrugs*

It'd been quite a trooper going there....running hard on LPG or petrol.....no probs except for the one tough climb on LPG
