Well we're on again this Saturday. Lakeside sprints start at 12.30pm.
Had some issues last time so I've changed the thermo state and bled the cooling system. I found that the old thermo state had broken the outer o-ring and it had jammed the valve which explained the temp differentials we were getting between the engine and the radiator.
I also had the car in for a wheel alignment today and had some adjustments made so hoping to improve my times on Saturday.

Hi Jim, you can get a day license for $25 or a year for $55. It is run under the AASA not CAMS. You'll need to call them in the morning and see if they have room left but generally it is okay. They run a practice session in the morning which I think is around the $80 mark and you can just rock up to that and pay at the office or can do the sprints in the arvo for $145 early bird or I think $190?? on the day.
I can't make the practice as I have other things on in the morning but should get there by 12.30 or so.
here are pics of my thermostate and filling set-up to get all the air out of the system.
