Nissan Datsun Sports Nationals 2007

cazz - so basically if I was interested in competing in the sprints, it would cost me $75 for entry, and another $190 to compete in the sprints??

Yes, from my understanding that is correct.....

Yep, that's correct.

[JAGR33]

It also says that there will be 3 sessions for the sprints...

What a bummer, unfortunately I can't see my self paying $265 to do 3 sessions...

I'm out...

[Snowman]

Unfortunately I'm in the same boat stig which is a shame. Especially since I organised my flights away around this event (am going on holidays on the Sunday instead of the Friday).

[JAGR33]

Oh well, we have the PIARC Sprints on the 18th Feb (95db noise limit!!), and the WRX Sprints on the 31st March, both at PI!!! Can't wait, you going??

Sorry for being off topic....

[Snowman]

Mate I'd love to say yes but I don't have my car back yet......

I will be doing everything I can to attend PIARC but I'll only be going there if the car is right.

$75.00 gets you entry, a momento pack, and entry to the track, and entry to the concourse. It does not let you compete at the track, or attend the trivia night. It will also cost your partner, or additional people extra money to attend the "Welcome barbeque" and the Farewell Barbeque, where your entry fee of $75.00 covers these two items as well. Oh Presentation dinner is $65.00 per head, and no kids allowed. Oh no kids allowed to anything basically.

I feel the need to respond to this post......

"Oh no kids allowed to anything basically." is a little shallow and to be honest.... far fetched...

Just so everyone has the right information.

The basic package as Cazz mentioned, gets you to the welcome bbq, the farewell breakfast, and the concourse entry. It also gives you some merchandise and the ususal show bag.

If you want to come and watch the cars at the track, not only are you most welcome, but it will cost you zip.......... as if you are going to be charged you to do that...!!

Now.. the kids bit.

Fri night - Welcome bbq = kids welcome

Sat = Sprint - kids welcome but must be supervised (as in ALL sprint events). Should the kids/partners not be interested, they can go on the country drive.

Sat night = Trivia night. Aimed for EVERYONE = kids welcome.

Sun = Concourse. Anyone is welcome... ohh... and should partners/kids not be bored, we have arranged a shuttle bus which do a loop around the island stopping at several tourist attractions. It will generally run on the hour, so if you get off at say 11:15, then at quarter past each hour (allowing for traffic) it will swing past where you can jump on and get off where ever you like.

Sun Dinner = The only reason kids (at this stage ) aren't allowed is simply due to room. We originally had the Conti booked - that is in receivership. The next available option is the golf club which simply cannot squeeze everyone in and yes it does cost more. If you feel that your kids should take priority over Nationals entrants, then perhaps it's a case of agree to dis-agree, as I thought the entrants should get the first option.

So, if the above does not cater for kids, then I don't really know what does.....................

If you have ANY questions, simply ask. We don't bite, and those who know me, know not only do I call a spade a dirty big shovel, but that I will give you an honest answer. I don't have anything to hide (except for the fact I hit a pole in my daily driver due to my own fault.... oh bugger.!) I don't care for office politics and will happily help anyone in any way I can.

Cheers and hope to see you there.........

OK boys and girls who's heading down on Saturday to watch the sprints? I'll be heading out in the morning to support John from UAS and see how fast his slot car can go!!!

Anybody else going???

[Roy]

Well its a toss up between a camping trip that may kill me based on where my blood pressure currently sits or do some work on my car for Sandown and watch Johnnie Boy in the Slot Car

[Belsil80]

Im in as of now, and competing! two weeks in a row. My car is going to hate me. i Just put it all back to standard, now it all has to go back on... its a hard life... poor mate busted his gearbox in his datto, and he needed to fill his spot or its money down the drain.

1;56, here we come.

Do we know of anyone else here thats competing???

[R31 Gagz]

Hey All,

Not long now, cant wait.

I was going to be competeing in the sprints but decided not to as Im already paying a nice little bundle in accomodation and enrty/dinner fees and am currently out of a job so have to try and save money at the moment.

Will be good to meet a few people from here, havent been on any of the cruises yet. Do know a few people already from the 31 club (cazz, syphon & wheezy )

Cheers,

Gagz

[Roy]

BTR is alive and well and delivered the results

Great time considering all the 1600s you were sharing the track with. The ZED did look great coming onto the straight

[Roy]

And hats off to Ryan for doing a 1:55 is his little bus. Who would have believed 2 years ago that a 150rwkw rwd car could do 1:55 at PI. Dont let the man near a turbo upgrade

[JAGR33]

Was a great day, John in the Zed managed a 1:47.4!!! Awesome result for his first time at PI!!! TOP EFFORT!!!

Also big congrats to Ryan, 1:55 is definetly moving....
