That settles it...

After Texikhana Im joining SAU NSW and applying for my CAMSLS2's so that I can compete whenever it suits me...

I like the idea of doing hillclimb too.

Only one problem.... Cash (or lack of it).

I'm in as well, this is going to be so much fun!!! Those videos on the NSW Texi link are great!

So what are we doing Saturday night? I have this image in my mind of 40 skylines going over commonwealth ave bridge and consuming all 3 lanes.

I'm excited! :D

Im not sure that I want to park my car in Queanbeyan on a Saturday night thanks...

haha dont blame you... i'm cabbing it, or getting a lift, cos i want to drink beeeeer in the beer garden :blink:

if anyone wants to come along we will be at Walsh's from around 4pm onwards... everyone's welcome & we will be having dinner there too.

and BTW, if anyone is keen to do the Texikhana as a last minute thing, there's about 3 or 4 spots up for grabs, so if you want to have a go let us know ASAP!!

In other news; We were notified a few hours ago that the skid pan at Sutton Road has been double booked and we are to be bumped. It is booked by the Stay Upright people and is a long term booking.

Sutton Road are most apologetic and have offered us a deal to make up for it so that we can still have fun. We considered cancelling the event but after much talk we realised that we are in it to the hilt and would incur significant costs to do so.

The deal offered is that we get refunded the money paid for the dry skid pan and we get the wet skid pan they have for free. We also get a discount on the back track which is still available to us. This equates to a $30-40 per entrant refund. Further more, we will get an unspecified discount on the next hiring of the facility which will be good.

It is proposed that the refund be kept by the club to be put towards entry for the next Texikhana (on the proper skid pan), meaning that everyone who enters this time gets $30-40 off the next event and priority entry. Those who did not enter this time will pay the full price.

Further in relation to price, future Texikhanas will be cheaper than this first one because we have incurred a number of one off costs. Also for those buying AASA licences, it covers you for 12 months and as mentioned above we will get a discounted rate at least for the very next one if not others into the future. We would like to get entry fees down under $50.

The Executive have discussed the situation and believe that we can still have a lot of fun on Sunday. We actually wanted the wet skid pan originially in addition to the dry one and the back track but it was too expensive to have all 3. It is a next to no tyre wear track which can be drifted or driven and is quite difficult to go around fast.

We have some ideas for making it competetive and difficult so we are sure you will enjoy yourselves. Don't forget that us organisers are also fully paid up entrants so we looked at this from both angles and are still keen.

We are sorry to have to change the format of the day like this but hope that incentives offered will make up for it. We do not doubt that everyone will have fun. If anyone is feeling particularly hard done by then I will entertain requests for refunds in full or in part by pm only.

This is not our fault at all and this is the best we can do with the unfortunate situation.

Thanks guys. See you all Sunday or before.

Adam.

As per NSW Texikhana thread... I'm still trying to get my head around all this. Might be worth phoning people if you have their numbers and know they were going to give them time to re-evaluate, it will certainly make a difference to what car/tyres I will be running.
