[Gester]

Yeah I'll be up for it. Although an auto wont be much of a competition

Is everyone gonna meet up earlier and go together? I've never been before what happens how is it done? Would we drag against other skylines?

[NismoGirl]

You should have consistent times in an auto but

If we go more towards June/July I'll go I think I've said that before but. I mean. June isn't really that far off!!

[WHITE R32]

good to see some good intrest appearing finally...yeah we would be racing eachother aswell as whatever else may be there too which will be fun .......

[NismoGirl]

You race who ever they put you up against. Can't guarantee who they are going to line you up against. Sometimes they take one car per lane, sometimes they take them all out of one lane

hhmm....so it's going to be on a day which isn't packed out?

What is spectating like? How much does it cost to spectate?

[Revhead]

The race entry fee covers the driver and one "pit crew"... so spectating is FREE if you can manage to score a spot in a car that doesn't already have passengers. It only covers one passenger though, anything over that and you pay for the extras. I think it's something like $20 each for spectators (except for the one you get in as pit crew if you're racing). I dunno the exact amount because it's been a while since I've been out to the drags and haven't been racing

Erm, hope I've explained that properly But it is a pretty good setup

[NismoGirl]

If you go on a Saturday night it's always going to be packed.

Spectating is good. At least you get to see some cars race. If you go out to race you spend most of the time in your car in the staging lanes waiting to race so you don't see much of the racing. That is until you get sick of staging and give up for the night and sit and watch it.

[NismoGirl]

I'm pretty sure its still the same price to spectate as it is to race. For two people in a car anyway. I think its $15 per person to sit and watch the racing. It is good to sit and spectate (bloody cold but) cause its *realistic racing cars* like.. you can aim for what times these cars are putting out, cause there street cars.

[Revhead]

Erin, that's one of the best bits about spectating - the fact that they're "real" cars. Guessing times can be difficult though... I've been proven wrong by around 10 seconds before, with those damned small block V8 engined LiteAce vans and SR20 Dattos with crap paint

[MM2death]

My brother is going out there tonight hopefully, and i've called shotgun!

Spectators pay $14.
