Andrew,

I agree it was a shambles Saturday night - the number of vehicles was more than what is normal (both with Comp and Street cars), but it is not a case of the facility not being able to cope - we have twice that number at Comp Meets. The problem is that we have absolutely no idea of how many cars are going to turn up to Street Meets, where we do with Comp Meets and that way we are prepared.

To ensure this will not occur again we are changing our next Street Meet to Sunday 4th May whereby we will open the gates at 9.00am and start racing at 10.00am. This way if a large number of vehicles turn up we can run all day - and even all night if need be! Everyone will get the amount of runs that they are happy with! I hope that this solution meets with your approval and you will continue to frequent the Street Meets and get some real runs in.

Regards

Anna Micheel

So it looks like we get a whole day AND night of racing for $50. It will be interesting to see how many people turn up for the next one!

Also I have the videos of 2 of my runs, and more importantly of John's Aus record run at My Yahoo Briefcase .... will upload more soon

hehe Matt you noticed .... it looks good to I STOLE it, so there :)

Funny you guys should talk about 'buggering it up' - here is an excerpt from the email I sent to AIR yesterday:

----------------------------------------------

As I'm sure you can understand that I am unhappy at paying $50 to wait around all night and only have a couple of runs. Most of the Skylines Australia group were there and feel the same - we went out for a night of fun and had a miserable night. One of the Skylines waited over 2 hours for scrutineering (due to the drag line blocking entry to the scrutineering area - before they widened it to 4 lanes after complaints) and he only got 1 run (which he messed up anyhow). Needless to say he is VERY upset with the system!!!!

I spoke on the phone to Anna Micheel earlier today. She was very understanding & helpful about the whole situation :mad: Needless to say I'm in for free next meet.

I also chatted with her about future events & running fortnightly s/meets come next summer! We quickly touched on our private meet as well, specifically the spectators issue. I'll update further within the drag day thread.

I gave up and rang AIR 2day, they said they sent me an Email but I didnt get it. After about 10minutes on the phone they finnaly gave in and gave me free entry to the event aswell. Its amazing what can happen when a few people voice there opinions on a certain matter. in the end we all win.

    • You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."
    • Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.

    • There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
