Guest A.J Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 If you need any help, or you need to share the work load James, either before or during the event, me and Rush will be there to assist you, in any way we can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted June 22, 2005 Author Share Posted June 22, 2005 Very kind of you. May have a small job for you both on the day if that's cool. I'll let you know closer to the event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 If I get this timing gear sorted in time I wil probably need some help setting it up, testing it's all working and that (dont fancy walking backwards and forwards over the 1/4 mile forever!), but I've a long way to go yet, so no panic just yet. Update on the timing gear for those interested; I think a mate of mine and I have solved a technical issue I could see arising,- how do you know & ensure that the gear at the start line is in sync with the gear at the end line, especially if it's operating over a wireless link? Well, I plan to use GPS recievers (about £36 a pop) to reset a millisecond-accurate timer every second, so I know everything is in sync with everything else. The data captured (e.g. crossed the start line, crossed the finish line) is all timestamped then processed in the following few seconds to work out the times, speeds, etc. All planned now, just need to get on with it!

TRD3000GT Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 sounds good! Im gonna make an effort to pull some good good times.. Might even pop some drag radials on the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Like I say, I'll do my level best to make sure I've got it all working by the event, but no promises. I've set myself a date of the end of July, so there are a couple of weeks in hand (plus that's when my Sup arrives,- can't see me getting as much done after that's here ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cashpoint Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 At least now i'll be able to abuse my car around bovingdon airfield and not get thrown off If you do intend to drift a lot you WILL HAVE to bring a spare set of tyres as the surface is very abrasive.

Guest Az Supercharged Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 If you do intend to drift a lot you WILL HAVE to bring a spare set of tyres as the surface is very abrasive. And expect a lot of stone chips!! I'll defo be going to this though! Only 5 minutes up the road from me, if that. Maybe I'll actually get to meet you Paul!

RobAce Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 i will have to check the work diary on this one. are there any spaces free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted June 23, 2005 Author Share Posted June 23, 2005 All are welcome Rob Would anyone be interested in me getting a localish mobile tyre fitter to come along with his part worn rubber?? He usually has all the top makes (Eagles etc...) I know some people are not to sure about these tyres but if people want a cheap set for the day (£30-40 a wheel IIRC) then i can see what he can do.

Clarkey Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 Would anyone be interested in me getting a localish mobile tyre fitter to come along with his part worn rubber?? Definately!! I've got some worn bridgestones - that I was planning on selling but now this event has popped up - it'll be good to have someone there to fit/balance tyres.
