Sau Drag Day

[Col-GTSX]

challenging...not impossible

I have mates on the exec in the WRX club between us and them I think we could get 100 people...that would be cheap enough and would also allow enough runs? A bit of friendly competition could bring in a few numbers too

Not raining on your parade but do you think you could get 115 cars all to pay $100 each...???

So they might get up to 10 runs each if nothing goes wrong... ie. Track clean up's from dropped oil...

Why would someone not go to a test and tune where there is tops of 150 cars (Wednesday event) and pay $36???

Tnt on a Wednesday you will get up to 6-7 runs if nothing goes wrong... ie. Track clean up's from dropped oil...

Bost cruising did thier day 100 cars for $80 dollars from memory and they did it this year..there is more to this than meets the eye hence the reason I want to look into it

I could get 115 cars but 80% of them would be wrx's because thier members are way more active and far less whingey

Boost Cruising paid for the event in September last year...

I spoke to Nick about the whole setup before I presented the idea the first time...

EDIT: 80 cars at $85.25 each... Both last November and this April...

They are doing it again this year (90cars at $85each), but with sponcers to lower the cost back to what last years cost...

But still thats $85 per car for a max of 9-10 runs considering no accidents...

If you read into their rain out policy you will see that there are some pot holes you could hit if it rains half way throught the event...

If it rains prior to half way you recieve 30% refund, if it rains after half way you recieve no refund...

Yep sponsors will be our goldmine, victoria has put us on to a few that pay out fairly well for events like this

[89_SIL]

I'll be there for sure...spectating with so_tred

[Col-GTSX]

Yeah so anyways, back to the topic at hand...

Ill probablly be there, however as explained in the other drag thread Im a little worried about this 130mph rule... So ill let you all know as soon as I can clear things up and get my slicks of course...

No one wants to see me doing skids half way down the track again...

It was fun tho...

[shanef]

col, it's 140mph and u need a chute. i know as trent from mercury had to stand on the brakes up the top end in their car as he was running 139mph.

[nur34]

that's great

[FineLine]

Oi will be there. Tip for those going. take an esky. when you eventually got served you were whacked up the ass 3 bucks for a small bottle of water. Not nice.

[shanef]

how keen are we to get a private day? maybe we could align it with mercury as im sure they'd be up for some private testing

[markimak]

keen.. are u shane..? wat u gonna drive?

[Sqd32]

if i had the money for the helmet i would be in for sure, since i missed the dyno day . i will find out tonight if i can get time off work, i will just come to watch

[WazR32GTSt]

should be great to watch regardless of how many skylines come along

i will probably spend most of the night watching after i have a few early runs..

I find it hard to believe a sponsor or 3 couldn't kick in $1-2k to help discount a full day to members, considering the advertising and full day's marketing they could receive. It wouldn't even have to be a performance workshop specifically.. it could be autobarn, a tyre-place, etc of this world where that sort of money is a pittance. Just think how much it costs to put a TV ad on for a few seconds.

I am sure the official '$36' test and tunes would be significantly more if not for sponsorship of the companies with their billboards down the track, etc.

also sponsors may be able to help a little

Bring it on!!!

Some rivalries with the REXes, a SAU club day with some bbq and racing for less than $100 will be great fun.

I think I will bring my r32 out nxt Sat. Lets see how much slower the current synchro gearbox will b compare to my previous dogbox.

See you guys there.

I took the boost restrictor out after the tnt on the 3rd. Will see if it makes much of a difference on the 17th.

[gts25t4door]

So who is comming? If I get a Helmet in time I will go for sure.

[Bunta]

I am a definite OUT now, more pressing matters have surfaced

[FineLine]

I'm in.
