Next event is the 6th round of the WSID track championship.
Held on Sunday, the 31st of May, we will be racing with the newly installed Microtech LT16 ECU, a newer style of Bosch coils, and a new set of slicks.
Should be a good day of racing.

*edit* Event was postponed to the 20th June due to the weather. We may not be racing anyway due to an unexpected gearbox component failure a couple of weeks ago.
On the weekend of April 18th and 19th, we attended the annual ‘Tin Top Titles’ event at Willowbank Raceway, Queensland. We decided to go to this event rather than the K’Archer Nitro champs in Sydney as it was a 2 day as opposed to a 3 day event, and it was a good excuse to get away from work for a few days, with a days travel to and from the event, and the fact that willowbank generally runs large events alot more smoothly.Plus the fact that Mini Jam wasn’t an option in the Sport Compact Group series this year.

7SINS attended the Full throttle Friday at WSID, on the 27th March.
These events gives ANDRA license holders an opportunity to do some runs in order to test, or to just have some end of week fun. They are run in the evening to take advantage of cooler air temperatures.
With the new motor in place, we are finally seeing the consistency that we have been chasing, with back to back 9.5 @ 142MPH runs.

Compak Attak was a very good event. Despite rain in the days prior, it was bright and very warm on race day. A late start, but minimal delays ment a full day of exciting racing up to the scheduled close for the large number of fans who turned up to watch.
The new motor performed very well, with no mechanical failures or problems (just with the driver at eliminations time!)
Full report soon.

Compak Attak is on this Sunday, 15th of March. Competitor numbers are a couple of numbers shy of 200. This is huge!
Fingers crossed that the last minute installation of the new motor goes without a hitch, and that we get it run in and tuned. No pressure Justin!
*edit* Motor is in and tuned, 450RWHP to play with for this event. See you there!

The event was cut short due to cold track conditions, but the action is red hot!
During a recent dyno session to dial in the new 3.89:1 diff ratio, it became apparent that our 5 year old motor was struggling. The problem was traced to a faulty coolant temperature wire, which was causing fuelling problems. This has hurt the motor, and sadly, it will be retired. It’s had a hard life!
We will be back better than ever. Stay tuned!
Second round of the WSID track championship will be on Sunday, 19th of October.
Due to unfortunate circumstances, we will not be attending this event.
