More *hoon Events :)* At Sandown.


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

If you're a Sth East resident or surrounding areas, chances is you'll see an article on your local LEADER MAGAZINE today with title say RACING AGAINST CRIME.

We all know what this article is all about, its about what happened on the infamous Friday night at Noble Park maccas. LEADER newspaper have set up a phone number and an email so we can express our opinions in relating to SHOULD SANDOWN hold more car events?

Please SMS 0402 967 387 or email [email protected]

If you have spare times, maybe include some extra sentences to tell them about events like Winton funday, practice days.........and so on.

Though we know its a question that HAD an answer for for so long, maybe this time they will actually do something about it.

West ;)

gotta love how yugoslavians hate each other serb/cro's

lol

gotta add goat lovers lebos and macos to ...

and then the bogans that hate anything thats not a holden or ford ... then the gangsta asians in their imports

and its a awesome festival of fun

It will take some attention away.

People arn't there just to start shit. I was there on the night of havoc and the week before. The week before was just racing. Did not see one dispute. Sure still alot of wanks, although nothing compared to the week after that which was just discraceful and obviously gives us car enthusiasts a bad name.

Are people getting dumber?

"Just racing"?

IT'S A PUBLIC STREET!

Not just any public street, an extremely busy highway.

If you are one of the people who was there, then you are a part of the problem.

Don't even bother trying to pass yourself off as an "enthusiast".

A genuine enthusiast doesn't engage in illegal activities to participate in their sport.

i dont know where you get your facts

but i think youll find that every sport began from some sort of illegal behaviour

base jumping for example is a sport, and many active enthusiasts willingly break the law

to achieve some spectacular jumps

the same can b applied to motor racing

drifting for example started in the hills of japan

some food for thought...

Only person a base jumper will kill by breaking a law is himself....

You just killed your own argument mate im afraid.

Drag Racing in legal confines/conditions has been around for quite some time.

Drag Racing isnt really a new phenomenon we are talking about here :sorcerer:

If this was a new craze, then people might well view it differently... but alas, it couldnt be further from it on this occasion.

Aside from that, would be good to see Sandown having more events.

The facility is there, why not use it?

If you charged $40 a night (more reasonable than Bob's a$$-rip price) i think you'd find it would be 140+ cars a night without much of a drama seeing the numbers than Calder still pulls because there isnt anywhere else to go so they have a monopoly on it all.

The police really need to being back thier Bluey project (is it still around?) as i have not heard/seen anything for a while. IMO it was a good thing indeed.

Make sure you have officers there that are sociable, rather than arrogant and pig-headed like some of the TMU's can be at times... and then relations would become better... probably by not a lot.

But if they change one persons view a night, i would put that down as success.

Yes the usual 15yr old kids where there boo'in and hiss'in but you get that from children.

I remember chatting at length to a few Officers @ the F1 GP a few years back.

They were TMU and patrolled the Seymour area, thier sociable attitudes and ability to talk to the enthusiast definately made a point with me as i wasnt exactly a "lover" of the law back in those days.

Not that i am now, but i'll at least give them officer who pulls me over a nice attitude rather than come out of the car all fired up :laugh:

I'll drop and email definately sometime this week.

I think that some people are missing the point. It is illegal to do that kind of shit on the street full stop. It doesn’t matter wether you think that you are not hurting people, if you race, drag, drift etc... On the street then you are a Hoon not an enthusiast. I know that most people have done something like this at some stage, but it still doesn't make it right. And just because some sports may have started out illegally, doesn't mean it has to continue. This is all about opening up facilities to the public so that this kind of activity can be done legally by all who are willing. It wont fix the problem, but it is a start.

    • 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.
    • Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>
    • 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.
