Who has raced at eastern creek?

[Andy San]

I've entered the time attack in June at eastern creek, as I've never been there before. any input on gearing or suspension rates for the track would be useful. I'm running 4.77 diff gears and I'm unsure as to whether or not they will be too short for the long front straight.

Any info would be useful

They will give you all the goss on it. Just remember to say you are an Unders car

You should be right, I used the Peter odgen gear calc

Thanks for that, lucky it doesn't say how much road I need to reach those speeds... Haha

[takai]

From what Gav was saying, your car produces about the same as what mine did when i was back in NSW. Now at Wakefield i would commonly be matched up against other guys with similar power outputs and gear ratios who ran fine at EC.... so by extrapolation.... she'll be right mate

[pen15]

hey mate what time attack event have you entered in i wouldn't mind hitting a grip race as my setup isn't all that bad as a grip car and sounds like my setup is very closely matched to yours

[Andy San]

i've entered the superlap time attack in may, but i think the class i entered is now full.
