No. It looks like they will be showing footage from WSID. LEGAL drag racing, all while talking about illegal street racing...Further blurring the difference between those of us that do things right, and those of us that don't care about the safety of others.

I used to attend all the popular and unpopular street racing spot back when I was a young man.... But I wisened up and prefer the legal form of drag racing much more.

ACA and TT are just in it for the ratings, the don't care about what is right or wrong, what is orrect or not, what is fact or fixtion. They regularly mix some if not all in their cooking pot of farcical sensationalistic TV journalism.

Idiots.

how stupid is the guy admitting he'd driven 290km/hr geez talk about honesty lol

Does ACA choose tools like the guy that being interviewed? Surely hes not doing any of us

car enthusiast any favor =/

I am really pissed at police senior management for this.

There is no better way to push cars back INTO street racing than making the only legal venue, WSID, unsafe (ie don't go, you might get defected afterwards).

Idiots.

Let's understand that the police don't have a serious desire to do anything. They simply want to look like they are doing something and to get it on the news. The police need to deal with the root causes but instead they treat the symptoms. It pretty easy to believe there is a speeding problem outside WSID but there is not a street racing problem there. Maybe what they should do is actually try to bust people at real street races or even better, help people understand there is a safe alternative on the track.

How much preventive interaction do you see between the police and car clubs? 98% of the people on this forum would dob in a dangerous street race and we clearly don't support it - but instead of engaging and using us to get the message across, they make is less likely people will attend legitimate events. Where was the community outreach booth at the show and shine?

If those were my parents that were killed I'd be more than upset at a token meaningless response

One thing that also shitted me, was in June, Craig (trust33) and myself participated in the offstreet drifting at driftland at Oran Park.

Half way through the night all the track officials told us to take off our number plates because 2 hwy patrol cars turned up and were apparantly "taking down rego's" of our cars.

As we left the night I saw a couple of general duties in the area and they gave me a "frowning of a lifetime" but didnt pull me over

I do not understand why they turned up.

The best advice I have ever been given is if ACA or TT ever approach me to do a story on ANYHTHING, tell them to f off. When they record, they take a lot of footage. You think that they're going to portray what you want, but htey'll always turn it around because of ratings. They do what sells. Bogans and old people want to hear about illegal street racing.

Imagine if ACA or TT did a story - good honest people do legal drag racing at WSID. no one would watch it.

the only reason they crush the cars in amereica is cause the young guys don't know there rights.

i would really like to see them get a ferrari or lambo and try to crush that, they would have no way of doing it cause the owner of the cars that are worth heaps also have a legal team that'll back them up.

our licences are NOT privliges the ARE OUR RIGHT as we are tax paying people and we pay the people that make our laws. we also pay the police so they should leave us the f!$k alone and catch the real crims!!!!

That is some of the stupidest shit I've ever heard. An attitude like that is why people like you shouldn't have licenses. You don't need a license. Its not a right. Its something you should prove you should have, with a combination of skill and maturity.

And just because you pay tax that funds lawmakers doesn't mean shit. There's laws against murder too, but it doesn't give taxpayers the right to kill other people just because they pay their wages.

Grow the f**k up.

There were two uniform cops in the pits at the last Circuit Club track day.

    • If that's the wiring from the factory, I'd be inspecting the loom everywhere.   Any signs of that anywhere else, and seriously, I'd get rid of the car ASAP before the electrical gremlins make it worthless, or it goes up in flames on its own. That is scary how that insulation is failing!
    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
