[shanef]

I'll be pushing to get the car finished in time and the engine run in, but finges crossed!!!

[Swiper the Fox]

Stace will be racing the mighty "TWOOGLE"...ill be pit bitch...keeping the rain out of her tent...lol

[Shibby]

Heads up racing now is it?

[wrxkilla]

nope

not as far as i know.

and with our fields it would be a step in the wrong direction...

[BU5TER]

I heard there may be a GTR class seperate from the srwd class

AWD are seperated from RWD, i had this confirmed from ray box in a one on one conversation.

the ANDRA championship will still be RWD/AWD. only rays champioship is seperating.

[BU5TER]

any news on if the classes will be heads up

[1JZ.747]

basically same rules as the ANDRA book, wieghts are a 100 pound less i think and the class is called street RWD, and it will be RWD no 4WD or AWD in class, oh and its DYO

[2rismo]

What will the AWD class be? DYO?

[1JZ.747]

What will the AWD class be? DYO?

didnt ask cause i didnt care.

i would say its safe to assume it will be DYO.

how many 9.0 AWD's are there?

1 maybe 2

heads up racing = nugget, not very crowd pleasing..

[TurbostyleR]

Ill probably go down there to watch, ill maybe race...depends on the weather - if its too hot im not going to bother risking my motor for crap et's..

[1JZ.747]

so whos definately racing?

[chris davey]

me

[1JZ.747]

i emailed the new sport compact director yesterday. there will only be 2 rounds of the andra sc championship, and they will both be held at WSID on the scheduled dates.

I cant believe ANDRA have watered down SC so much in such a short time-2 rounds at the same track...yeah nice 'national' champoinship this has turned out to be.

*cough* apportion blame elsewhere *cough*

i would say that track owners & and lack of promoters would have a reasonable amount to do with it.

having said that, i dont feel that ray box has to align himself with andra, if he wants to make money from this and do it his way, well he is australian and he is entitled to do that. i dont think people should get sandy vaginas over him choosing to run another champioship his way.

i think also the lack of racers supporting events has a fair bit to do with it. also the only a hand full of people in SC have sponsoship makes ithard for people to travel, most people running in the V8 side of andrs in super street and higher ranking classes, a high percentage have sponsorship.

and then theres spectators, we get stuff all spectators to our events which also has a fair bit to do with it.

I agree 100% - Willowbank being in SCP's pocket doesn't help though. They're too scared or too tied up in deals with Ray's crew to run a Sport Compact event in their calendar. FWIW, I enquired some months ago and was told by the track manager that WB Raceway had absolutely no intention of running Sport Compact oriented events in their calendar.

The problem is that the argument was that there was no money to be made out of ANDRA Sport Compact events. Let's give it one go, (Jambo), have a HUGE SUCCESS and then say we can't make money. I beg your pardon? It's about control. SCP events would've been part of ANDRA Sport Compact provided ANDRA gave, "...complete control over the event to Ray." What the?!?

96 pre-entries in SRWD for Jambo - yep, sounds like a terrible turn-out to me....

I agree again but Jamboree was packed full of punters.

Who knows?!?!

adrian, i was refering to the other evetns from jamboree. jamboree last year was not a success due to ANDRA using it as part of their championship, it was successful because people know it will be good as it has been for years and still go.

sydney events you have to agree get f**k all support from racers, more sport compact cars turn up to a wednesday street meet. look how many people on this forum throw there opinion around about why it doesnt work yet havent put there arse in a car at a local SC event. thats my point.
