It'll take several reads of the rulebook before you really start to take eveything in. Best bet is to make it to the lake at least once before you jump in, it will give you a feel for things & let you ask questions of officials in person plus chat to those already "doing it".
3 Litre puts you into "F" for engine class.
Turbo(s) puts you into /B then you need to read the rules for the vehicle classes to see where you fit.
Have a read here initially as it sort of condenses things for you. /BGC is a possibility or perhaps /BMS.

As Rob stated, come for a look , then decide what you want to build. There are plenty of members who will help you along. Pete. DLRA #6

Come to the BBQ with your car and we'll be happy to give you some more answers. I'll bring a rule book. Pete's right, go to a Speedweek before you decide what to do. It isn't your average race meeting and you may decide you'd rather build something salt specific instead. If nothing else it stops your road car rusting! See you there.
So is the BBQ on the 6th of Feb on.
Need a time and place and are we going to get a decent turnout.
I work on Saturdays so need to know so can plan to have the day off.
Take the time to really study the photos from previous events, you will get heaps of ideas from these.
The first two rules are pretty obvious ones.
Exhaust can exit out the side at any point or at the rear, just can't point down or at the tyres. You could run a pipe straight to the side of the car (shortest route) for your wastegate.
How about Sunday 7th Feb. for our Qld. meeting before the salt.
Is it at Alexander Clarke Park, Beenleigh? (anybody know it)
Sunday would be good.
Who's coming and what time and BBQ breakfast? BYO.
I'm in and my bike will be there.
I've been off for the last week so haven't seen what is happening. The BBQ is still on.
So Feb 6th at 9:00am at Alexander Clarke Park at Beenleigh - all welcome. Bring your own drinks and anything specific you want to eat. I'll bring a bunch of sausages and a loaf of bread + misc items.
Look out for the white XY Falcon as that's where I'll be. Sounds like we've got a few starters. I'll get on the phone and see if I can get a few more.
Change of plans.... The Toowoomba swap meet is on the weekend of the 6th and 7th so we should change the date to the 7th Feb. I also discovered that I got the name of the park wrong!!!!! The one I had in mind was the Logan River Parklands - Alex Clark Park is on the other side of the river!
So the revised details are:
Sunday the 7th February starting at 9:00am till around 12:00pm
Logan River Parklands off Service Road/Blackbird Street Beenleigh
