Lets Go Watch The Hks Drag Gtr

[Amaru]

Well, theres a post in general discussion area thing about this, but thought id post up here to see if anyone is keen.

HKS will be bringing their R33 GTR out of retirement to take on the Heat Treatments R32 (now the quickest in the world) in New Zealand on the 17th Feb 2007.

Me and Aurora are going to fly over on Friday the 16th and come back on Sunday the 18th. Plane tickets are $189 each way with Air New Zealand and hotel shouldnt cost too much.

So who else is interested in coming?

[Darkon]

it does sound interesting will let you know, reckon $500 would cover the weekend?

[Amaru]

Probably not since the airfares return are $380 ($189 each way) then you need probably $50 - $100 for accomodation, entry to the drags (no idea on ticket prices, they come out in jan) and food.

Id say $650-750 and you should be pretty safe.

Also those prices are from Sydney, so if theres enough interest we can all chip in $10 and hire a mini-van for the drive up to and back from Sydney.

Come on peoples, who DOESNT want to see the two fastest skylines in the world go head to head?

Youre sucking skills arent quite up to that standard, sorry Beau

[ib6ub9]

WOW!!! So tempting... I look forward to more details....

[Bullet32]

Hmmm

Sounds like a good excuse for a trip...

But would it be worth it to go all that way and have it over in under 8 seconds?

Im more of a Circut racing and Drift fan.

But Im still interested.

I'm barred up knowing that you're barred up....

I've said too much........

Anyway, it's be great fun but my money belongs elsewhere. I'll just wait for the cliff notes to come out. (read: video).

is very tempting but doubt i will be able to make it

[Guest 180Chick]

I would definitely like to go, but I won't know for sure what I am doing until closer to the day.

as cool as that would be, im not keen to spend $700 on 8 secs of entertainment, even high price strippers are cheaper then that...

[Shell]

bloody hell, how cheap are those tickets!!

i went and saw the HKS car at willowbank and i'm sure it cost me more than that to fly to QLD!

[Amaru]

Yeah I was shocked at the ticket prices too.

And you will see the cars out multiple times during the day, not just once... and thus far, every time the HKS car has gone to an international event they dont strictly do drags with it either (those that saw it on the rained out day at willowbank will understand).

Those plane tickets are crazy. It's costing alot more than that for the mrs and I to get to tassie and back over xmas
