We've Done It! Sau Drag Day Is On!

[Abo Bob]

Well we have managed to get ourselves a drag day on Sunday 25 March running up against the V8 Owners club.

Should be heaps of fun. There will be a DYO session after lunch for those who need the practice.

Cost will be between $200 and $220 I think (Gotta confirm this).

Cars cannot go quicker than 11.00 sorry.

The idea is, for those who haven't been to one of these, we have the whole day at the track and a maximum of 50 cars running. This means that during some parts of the day you can literally do a run then come back down the return road and go straight back in without even lining up.

I have done a few of these days and I think my record is something like 37 passes in one day. I know a few of you may point to the cost compared to a wednesday night street meet but this wins hands down. You get many more passes, even on a pass per $ ratio you are better off. Also you get a chance to practice without waiting an hour in between runs.

I'll let you know how we are taking payment shortly but for now, post your interest and questions.

For newbies, it's a perfect start. Plenty of people around to help with advice, plenty of time to race, no pressure to get going quickly, etc.

What else can I say? I'll be there!

When you have done all this email me at - bob at estc dot net dot au - with your internet banking receipt or date and branch of deposit.

Please include in the email:

Mobile Number -

Amount paid -

Copy and paste the above to make it easier for me.

Important - You will not be confirmed until a deposit has been made.

Thank you.

Another edit***

$210 to play. Full payment in one go please. I'm sick of chasing people for second payments.

The day looks like being a sell out so don't delay too much.

Refunds for cancellations will only be paid when there is someone to take your spot. That seems safe at this stage though.

Another edit***

No cost for spectators.

BTW bikes are allowed.

You can bring a second car for free but only you are allowed to drive your car/s.

Second drivers of your car are $100 extra.

******************FURTHER EDIT******************

This is from the V8owners website, just so we've got all the info here:

The Private WSID hire is locked in. A casual and not so relaxed day of Grudge & Bracket racing for V8Owners members SAUers, friends and family. As many laps as your beast can handle!

Please support the day, you will have a blast! Also, try and encourage drag racing newbies to sign up as well, these days are a great introduction to the sport.

The price of $210 includes the following:-

* Driver entry

* 2 x crew tickets

* 3 x spectator tickets

* Spectator areas PLUS Corporate box "Chillout Room"

*Chillout room*

In addition to the track-side spectator area, we have arranged an air-conditioned "chillout" room (corporate box by the track). The intention is to provide an area where people can get out of the sun for a while, and sit in comfort. Pertinent for families, but all welcome.

* 10am driver briefing, Grudge racing commences

* 1pm stop for Lunch (30 mins)

IMPORTANT RULES FOR PRIVATE DAYS*

* *No car is allowed to run quicker than 11.00*

* If your car runs faster than 12.00 you must have a Current super street ANDRA licence. You can get your ANDRA licence here I will try and arrange an ANDRA Representative to be present on the day.

*Rain-out Policy*

If it is raining on the morning, it is likely the track will postpone the event. In this case, we may be liable for fixed track costs; this could be around $10 per driver. We will post a message here on SAU before 7:30am on the morning of the event. We can arrange phone calls on the morning for those traveling a long distance to the event. Where it rains during the event before lunchtime and the track declares it a washout, a pro-rata refund applies. Where it rains after lunchtime and is declared a washout, no refund applies. That is the deal on offer.

*Refund Policy*

We will assist in transferring tickets where circumstances dictate you can no longer attend, we will maintain a reserve list for this purpose.

Catering will be provided on the day by the lions club.

Tickets will be given to the drivers on the day.
