Yes it's speed off the streets

Tree
HMMM looks like I can enter Street class but won't be able to bring the semi's like last year's. Well at least I don't have to waste 9 hours of tread driving down.
Yo Lewis/Adrian, Ethan what tyres you fellas gonna be running? (I feel like Niki Lauda asking this question in "Rush" at the start hehe)
 
Braided brake lines, enlarged/baffled sump or oil cooler would still be considered "street" safe right? I mean the stock rubber lines are 23 years old who knows when they'll pop lol; the sump is insurance from rebuild and oil cooler to keep her running happy all day - hardly considered "performance" mods right? RIGHT?
Other than that it's just springs+shocks and Beams engine which is more "stock" than a 3.0L V6.
Verdict?

Engine swap = modified :D
 
Come chase my tail lights Tree

I'm planning on picking up some AO50's in the next couple of weeks so if I can make the event, that's what I'll be running. I'll also be getting some super hard street tyres to replace my current ku36's. I'll drive down on them so I will probably do a few sessions on them just for fun.
 
Bring the semi slicks Tree! See if anyone from Vic is coming up on a trailer and throw the semi slicks on with them.

Consensus seems to be that the best available tyre at the moment is the Yokohama A050. Hankooks are also quick tyre but supposedly not as durable as the Yokos. A050s are pricy but Greg Nolan (Suspension Concepts and Nolathane fame) reckons they are worth 3 to 4secs over A048 at Wakefield (and he doesn't sell tyres). He described them as slicks with tread but also good in wet. If so the price premium over other semis is probably a relatively cheap performance improvement.
Tree, can you afford to give Lewis that much advantage as I am sure I read earlier he is spending cash from his new job on A50s? Unfortunately for me I just bougt a new set of tyres before talking to Greg Nolan.
Adrian. Get greg Nolan to heat cycle your tyres. $25 a tyre and he claims that they perform almost as well as new until you have to throw away the tyres because you can see the canvas. No need to hit and miss heat cycle the tyres at the track.
 
 

No way the ao50 would have 3-4 secs on the ao48. It'll be more like a 1 sec difference. Going from a good street tyre to a semi slick is normally a 2 sec difference.

The ad08r is meant to be awesome. Halfway between the regular ad08 and the ao50. Probably the fastest street tyre you can buy.

V6 powered cars wouldn't be in street class would they? I'd have though an engine swap would count as a modification.

No doubt about it!

Thanks for the input on tyres fellas. Highlander don't give Lewis anymore ideas lol. 3.5L v6 is in the Mod class tho. Technically the 3SGE BEAMS came in the SW20 but only in the late models, the 20V 4AGE never came in the AW11 tho :P but okay whatevers I won't get caught up too much in politics so long as I pull some decent times and smash PRs :D
