But back then even though the track is cheap, modding were not and a lot could not afford to track play like nowadays. Like I mentioned before, those days 7 kids and 1 car, unlike nowadays more then 1 car per family.
My elder brother had more experience as he was most of the time there at Batu Tiga when the motor GP is on. He knew most of the Racers especially those under his company sponsor.
Then the local car races too. He have a Manager who was also a racer. Those days the Datsun 1200 was very popular....

Yup, as you know even my TKSS group, we knew each other through Zth, met up and became closed friends....
Yup, and low profile was 70 series.....hhahhahaha

Rough in the sense coarse, most of the tyres after the race from new is almost bald and the rubber compound melted.
Yup, nothing left but houses....
nowadays nobody care to use 60 series profile on sedan anymoreDon't bother about modding. If you have cars like Evo, stock is enough for you to play in track, haha. Besides, those days, petrol should be way cheaper than it is now. Maybe when the time I can come out for track day with my own car, things might have gotten even more expensive.
The same thing will happen to tyres too even in a better track like Sepang?
Sad to hear that legendary track have become a housing area. No remnants or anything left of the old track?
I find it hard to believe that 70 series is considered as low profile. Unless the tyre width is very thin but that is not possible...
even twin cam head / dohc head already means high power and better advantage since back then most car using sohc setup.....
me young in age...but atleast i do play with tools and spanner as soon as i can read number/letters on the tools
and sat in race car (*actually rally car) driven by my dad as young as 2years old :biggring:
i would say not dirt cheap entrance fee..more or less is similar to nowadays trackday parking fee...but since bt3 track was much closer to KL (closer to people) and they were organizing a lot of friendly event...thats why always flooded with racer and spectator....
imagine if SIC open trackday fee kept at rm200-250 like it was few years back....i can say u will see similar level of crowd...but too bad...the fee keep on rising every year.... :brawl:
my dad with 1 kid (me back then) manage to get his hand on 3 datsun (2unit 160j sss pa10 and 1unit 160j sss 510)
common size was 13"...so max upsize usually 15" back then.....
meanwhile nowadays 15" was the common size....and with bigger car bigger arch people can upsize to 17"-18" without much problem (and better power too)
70 series tyre was sport profile and 60 series considered as racing tyre profile
if u coming on federal highway from klang towards KL...once u reach the bt3 shell station (the one before federal bt3 toll) u see on your left....its behind those bushes....
back then "turbo" means fastest....
tyre last longer and better on modern track because better track surface/material...the only track with same grade of tarmac nowadays is pasir gudang circuit....or similar grade tarmac at pasir salak track (kg gajah)...
tyre width back then also for normal people was 155-165 width...175 and 185 already high performance track tyre woooo.....no power steering....build muscle with just driving cars
Those days, everything is manually controlled. No power steering, no ABS, no traction control. All about driver skill.

these are the location..
see the resemblance of the track there..:proud:
its all in the D'Kayangan area..no more left...
those current road are the road outside the track..
there's only TNB small station near the highway that stated 'Batu Tiga Track'..
yup, jalan aquatik is/was outside the track..
all those 'tanah merah' according to google map is inside the track fence...

i believe there are no reason to keep the old track road as it is not suitable for heavy vehicle...
unless you can get inside D'Kayangan and search for the artifact..
185 size got nice tyres too. AD-07.
......hhahahhahaha
