would love to, but unless I find sponsorship it isn't going to happen...

[N1GTR]

So Open has spaces left? Have we got an updated list? Id like to know who's going to beat me (pretty much all of the field im betting)

That datto would be crazy fun, if my old one had 400hp i think the same smile would be on my face as yours

Hey blitzxtr Dave have a go, I think I will be strong contender for RWD and 4WD I predict will be between Lofty and Mark and Russ in their R32's. I bet my house with all my toys that I have the fastest zed on the day, he he. Maybe next year with limited budget of time and money, I have my alloy block 100kg lighter and .8 of a litre bigger VQ motor installed, with a bus load more power, I might be in their ear a lot more then. Btu then Giant brings out his R34 GTR and on it goes.

PS I know how hard and expensive it is mainly in time to convert a road car to race car, and how hard it is to remove Sikaflex and Wurth rubber under car spray, which I pumped it's arse with in the doors and quarter panels etc, trying make a quieter road car out of my zed years ago.

[Gts-t]

Hey john, have u ever thought about moving onto a z33?

[Roy]

[Bozman1]

Don't worry lofty, you and I could make a road block with our two cars so BEL and there driver (GW) cannot get past

[Roy]

[gtr jason]

There will be more pro drivers then anything else bozman if one of the pro drivers smash the car they are driving who pays the driver or the owner

Depends on the terms of the contract, in our team Bathurst 12 hour deal it's the driver, you bend it = you fix it, you write it off = you own it.

I think having a pro drivers stepping into cars will detract from the event and its success as it simply becomes cheque book racing then rather than a grass roots style of event. And i believe that Australia would not be able to sustain a series of this kind due to lack of popualtion and funds and if competitors get discouraged from entering this will only harm the event. Just look at drifting for example imagine if in its infancy a local workshop had a pro D1 driver driving their car and winning everything I doubt that it would be as popular as it is today because people would have been discouraged from entering due to the one sided compition. The series as it stands now is extremely popular and has fostered a lot of up and coming local talent and companys. I believe that this style of event could grow to become just as popular as drifting and progress to a similar level as long as it is run so as not to discourage grass roots level competitors.

[Duncan]

sorry guys but if you think this is a grass roots event (particularly in open class) then you have missed the point. It is clearly targetted at workshops to show off their abilities, and if you have paid say $200k to develop a car, why wouldn't you pay a tiny bit extra for someone to drive it to it's full potential.

there are plenty of events similar for "grass-roots" or club racers, like the state super sprint series at Eastern Creek today. pretty much anyone with an L2S and $200 for entry fee is welcome

Re damaging the car - if I ask and pay for a drive, I expect to pay for damage. If I am asked and paid to drive, I don't pay for damage. simple.
