Format of the day and all the other information?

[Al]

OK.........Not quite what i was after.

As Ash has stated, a format of events, etc. would be of greater help. If it's a track day, just mention that cars will be released in groups of X cars, for Y laps, or Z minutes. Is the long or short track being used?

From the sound of it, looks like you have booked the track, but have not planned and events or what you plan to do on the day.

If we get 35 participants, it will come down to

$176 each, cheaper if we get more

Does this mean if you get 10 people, you expect them to pay $615 each to cover your costs? A set price would also be better; obviously the lower the price the more people will come.

Go back to the "drawing board", nut out all the details, including entry price, then post up all the information.

[alen]

ok then.

groups = between 3-5, depending what they say on the day

laps = 20mins per group

track = short track as much as i know

i did not plan a specific event, because i dont mind what we do.

[alen]

and yes, if we get 10 people, it will cost $615 per person, thats why its important to get 35 or more.

and what exactly you mean by entry price, for spectators??

[Al]

and yes, if we get 10 people, it will cost $615 per person

You seriously expect a turnout with that pricing structure?

I was only offering a hypothetical scenario :laughing-smiley-014:

What i mean by entry price is; You set a price for people to enter their car's. This is a fixed price. For example $150 per driver; if you get more than 40 people, great you make a profit; if you get less, well tuff break, you live and lean.

Expecting people to prep cars and turn up when they may hypothetically end up paying $600 to enter is a joke.

would have come (even tho i live in waga waga) however for the poor orgoniseing of the event.

mate it's simeple the cheeper the event the more cars you will get, aslo give people plenty of notice,

and has this gone on other forums. as this would aslo help you getting more people if you put it on say.

www.r31skylineclub. and www.nisansiliva.com.

and only 3-5 car at one time what would happen if you had say 50-60 cars there thats not a lot of track time.

if you go and have a a look at a old post about a fun day that was conducted at calder earler this year, threre was about 30 cars (am i right al)

even if you did the winton verson of 30 min per groupe with say 20 cars would be fine. as this would allow people to have plenty of tracktime.

i recon make it $80-$100 for the day in the format of the winotn fun days.

also will the food stalls be open or bbq provided what if people have to leave the venue will they be allowed back in.

best person to speak to is a guy buy the name of big trav (he is on these forums) as he used to orgonise the winton fun days so he would be of great help to you.

also ill put this up on r31 skyline club and see how much attanchen it gets
