GTO Vs Skyline Rolling Road Day – Sat 26 May 2007

I have been talking about arranging this for 18 months – Now it is a reality.

The Gauntlet:
Who has the most power between the Skyline club and the GTO club?

The Criteria:

CLASS One – AWD/4WD only:
**Ten of the best cars from each club will be entered to compete for the total maximum power.**I am in negotiation to have the event covered by a Jap car magazine, so far the feed back is that only ten cars from each club can be featured but the other cars can have their details listed in an overall league table.
This category is for privateer cars only or ‘small tuning companies’ IE the company does not have their own Dyno.

CLASS Two – Open Category:
The day is open to 40 cars in total, 20 Skylines and 20 GTO’s.
I will be choosing the top ten cars to represent GTOUK, the remaining places will be on a first come first served basis. If you want to be a featured car then please let me know when listing yourself for the event.
Any GTO or Skyline can be entered into this category.
(Someone will do the same for the Skyline Owners.)

[size=18]Trophies will be issued for the best in class/category – The categories are as follows:[/size]

[list:64c527558a]Overall Grand Champion – BHP + Torque (Sponsored by Amber Performance)
Best of breed – Most Power (BHP) (One for each Marque) – (Sponsored by Evil Empire Performance)
Highest Power on the day (BHP)
Most Torque on the day (LBS/FT)
Most powerful stock car (BHP)
Best in Class 2 – Most BHP (IE the car with the most BHP out of the none featured cars)
[/list:u:64c527558a]

The Grand Champion will also receive a voucher from Amber Performance for a set of brake pads for their car. http://www.amber-performance.co.uk/
Evil Empire Performance will also be offering a prize for one of the categories. http://www.evilempireperformance.co.uk/

Thank you James & Rob for this kind offer – Both Companies offer specialist parts for the Japanese Tuning market

The Venue:
Torque of the Devil
Uxbridge Industrial Estate
Uxbridge
Middlesex
UB8 2FR

Torque of the Devil is a new tuning company and has a brand new, state of the art Dyno Dynamics chassis dynometer with a power rating of 2800 BHP!
The graph will display BHP, Torque, RPM and AFR. 8)

Torque of the Devil Director Chris Todd (Formally of Power Engineering) will be running the cars on the day.
Two coast runs will be done to monitor the fuelling before the third and final power run is done.

When I say new I really do mean NEW, as in it is just being fitted! :shock:

£42.00 Inc Vat if we have less than 38 cars

Spectators are more than welcome. :popcorn:

**Restrictions for the GTOUK Featured Cars – **You must be a paid member of the club to enter into Class One.

Making a party of it: :cheers:
For those of you who fancy a night out before the main event I will be organising a night out on the town! (Well Uxbridge anyway!)
The evening is open to competitors and non competitors alike. Partners or fiends are welcome too.

I can arrange hotel accommodation for the Friday night should you wish to join the party!

Mark :wink:

Looks interesting Mark.

Newsflash: My car passed its MOT today. Running at standard power again whilst I run the engine in. May should be enough time to run her in and re-map/turn the boost back up to silly levels.

Put me down as a confirmed. I should be able to compete in class 1 and 2 if the car produces the numbers its been promising for the past few years.

Not sure if you’ll get 20 GTO’s to sign up to his tho - hope you do tho.

Do you have a link to the Skyline club’s thread? I dont want to wind them up but I would like to see who’s running if possible.

PS. Put me down for the hotel (not that one we used last time!!) and pi$$ up in town the night before.

Mark :wink:

ill have to check it dosent clash with my holiday but i should be able to get off my fat ass and get it running by then :lol:

I’m in. The charger will be fitted and tuned by then, so may as well prove what a charger can do. I don’t know what category I would be in?

I’d love to paticipate.
Will go with whichever class I am allowed to compete in :wink:

Likely be my silver car, as the red one is still some way off…

Silver one is dyno proven @409bhp/396lbft

Silver one will be modified considerably before then though…hoping to clear 450bhp/450lbft, maybe higher.
Bit of work to do between now and then!.. :roll:
Marty

I have the weekend booked off work already for my parents’ pearl wedding anniversary on the Sunday. Looks like I know what I’ll be doing on the Friday/Saturday now aswell!!!

Spectators:
miller
GSXRKid - will you be joining us on the day too? (Any chance your call will be able to enter too?)

If we get to the point of having more than 20 cars listed we can run a reserve system or worst case go buy power proven to date - But I do want at least one stock car at the event!
have no issues with NA’s running either.

Chris may well just keep running any extra cars till time runs out.

Glad to see people are interested in doing the event, it has taken a bit of organising…

Mark :wink:

I posted it in the General Skyline section too to get a response!

People are now signing up.

Mark :wink:

Mark, if you REALLY need an n/a to prop up the final list ya can throw mine in :wink: :lol: do skylines have an n/a version?

This is gonna be fun!

Mike

Yes. Their GT-R is like our VR-4 (TT).

Their GTS is the same as our N/A.

No idea what power their GTS puts out as standard - should be listed on the net somewhere I guess.

Adam

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I’d love to come down and give it a shot.

And on the Friday night! :lol:

Cheers,

Ben.
