Location? Did this car used to have Blitz wheels on it?

Sweet. Cruising this weekend!

I was just about to recommend you, Dave.

Morgs got it in a nutshell. Double standards are rife with this "organisation". Why haven't they also considered the SC classes? Plenty of quick street cars there. WSID are also now segregating cars into either daily driven street cars, or full blooded race cars. What about those in between? Street driven cars that actually run sub-11's? There are plenty of those about. Further to your post Adam, WSID now have two types of private track hires: Super Sedan to TF (ANDRA compliant) cars can hire the track @550 each to a maximum of 8 cars (totalling $4,400), which would require much better track preparation and hence cost> However, this is less than half the total they will receive for the other type of private track hire: for "street-registered, daily-driven" club cars, who are charged $220 each with a maximum of 50 cars (~$11,000). Their logic and justifications just do nott make sense no matter which way you look at it.

If you can find it second hand, as they no longer make them. Anyone got one?

I'm in. Hopefully with my new box :D

And yet the quicker cars would need a better prepared track = more costs involved. WSID don't seem to be making any sense. Time to get the big guns out and get this PUBLIC facility available to the people that own it - the public.

Also, I have been told that a number of quick drag cars will be entering with a few new cars making their debut.

It doesn't surprise me that the WSID website has old information on there. They were probably too busy rewoking the private track hire rules that they have recently published.

I will be racing, even if the car is not completely ready, in support of SC racing.

Still have this wheel and boss kit?

Looking good, Keith When will you be racing your car next?

WSID never had any form of written agreement? On what basis was the track being hired out? Whatever rules they felt like making up at the time? What a disgrace. Alot of double standards there. They won't allow sub-11 second cars at private track days, but only allow SS and higher to hire the track with a maximum of 8 vehiclles @$550 each? So if, say, the owner of a (street-registered and driven) sub-11 ET vehicle wants to race then they either (a) must be ANDRA licenced and can only use the track hire with a maximum of 8 cars @$550 each; or ( B) they can attend a Wednesday night street meet. However, they can't attend club private days. Doesn't seem fair or reasonable to me. The same car can attend a Wednesday night street meet, but cannot attend a private (street) car club meet, but 11.00+ cars can attend both.

Vents have a habit of popping up on ebay on a weekly occasion.

It definitely not there for its looks. The aim is to make the air go around the car, not under it. Looks ugly, but it works. Running methanol so need for a cooler or any ducting. The extra power that it supposed to be making doesn't hurt. Car will be back out in two weeks aiming for a 7.

Reece McGregor has run an 8.033@172 MPH in his R32 GTR. It is now the second fastest GTR in the world. Congrats to Reece and his team. Awesome work. Video HERE.

No chance!

I am looking for an R32 or R33 GTR gearbox. I would prefer a S2 R33 GTR box, but will take an R32 one if one is available. Must be in good condition. PM or 041 44 55 444. Charlie.

Spotted a Yellow R34 GTR [GDZYLA] on Punchbowl Rd this morning turning onto King Georges Rd, Wiley Park. Nice

Didn't get the chance to go to Jambo, so it's great to hear that some interstate cars are coming to WSID for this event. Hopefully will make for a great day of SC racing.

Apart from the 10th or 11th December, what are the next available dates given when SAU cancelled on the 5th? Looking at the WSID event calender, there would seem to be plenty of opportunity to have private track days. I would be willing to bet that this facility is not being utilised to its potential (in relation to non-public events).

Elbee, I actually thought of such a charge. Another idea was to allow 2 other spectators at $15 each. 2 x 50 x 15 = $1500. Would cover the cancellation fees plus the food and bread for the BBQ. But the $5 per spectator sounds alot more fair and reasonable. Anything that will help the club recover any losses is a good idea.

The sport is still relatively new and the format in Australia is fresh, so there will be those whose cars are at a disadvantage. However, as in most forms of motorsport, there is provision for the revision of rules, especially if one (type of) car is at an (dis)advantage. Thankfully, some of the rules are being changed for the better. SK is correct though; there needs to be a substantial amount of support for any rules to be changed. The removal of ABS is not a safety issue. Afterall, we are talking about racing cars. The rules are there for all to abide by. No one can complain unless otherwise.

Excellent work! Congrats. When are you planning on going for the ten? What are some specs on your combination?

I don't mind the rules in this clas at all. They fit in with my car and I have no complaints. It will be interesting to see how things pan out in the coming year with plenty of quick cars entering.
