Thanks Duncan. It shaping up for a great weekend.

My MR2 is in pieces and will not be ready till later this year so Im leasing a drive for the race.

We are planning a 300km race for Eastern Creek next year so you wont have to wait till November for a 300km enduro. We were also looking at Winton but its very hard to organise as the track is already booked out for next year.

Good luck with the build up and hope to see it on the track soon.

Cheers

Steve

Yes leasing is a great option.

Im looking into a future racer for the weekend.

Its $4000 for the weekend for the car,pit crew and team manager.

With 3 drivers it works out OK.

Even with two its ok based on the fact you arrive and drive. No set ups, endless hours prepping the car, towing it to the track, pit crew plus plenty more.

I show up, jump in a car with a pit crew ready including team manager and go racing.

Anyone seriously interested in joining in??

The Wakefield 300 turned out to be a great race.

I managed some footage which is available on my youtube site. The link is http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=CViGljv2H1k

It would have been great to see a gtr,silvia, subaru,evo and mr2 battling it out with the top teams over the weekend

MAybe next year..

We will have a dedicated site up and runnig inthe near future for those interested in being involved at any level in Australia's only 300km enduro for everyone

cheers

skylines are not eligible for bathurst 12 hours or the national production car series - the car has to be within 5 years from new and sold in Aus (unless its a holden in which case the rules will be changed for it).

skylines are welcome in the NSW state production car series though

I was referring to the camry comment, not the GTR.

I well aware of what can and cannot run at Bathurst 12hr/Production car series. You can run R33/R34 skylines in Production Sports. I had a conversation with the president of Production sports a few years ago when I was toying with the idea of building one for racing. Instead of the R33 Im building a MR2 turbo atm to run in Production Sports which will be an experience.I dont expect to all that competitive but gives a me a chance to run with a great class of cars and have some fun. Its also aimed at the W300 for next year.

I heard a rumour there may be a 300km race at EC on the same format as the W300 for next year. If I hear more on it I will let you know.

Cheers

      🚨 Need Advice! Overcharged for Engineering Report 🚨

      Geez, engineers fees have definitely gone up. Mine back 2007 cost me all of $300. Mind you, I had to go back to him a few times to get him to write the correct things on the report after he'd inspected it. Things like wrong exhaust size, wrong wheel sizes, etc etc.

      🚨 Need Advice! Overcharged for Engineering Report 🚨

      Can we see a scan of the original quote? The problem with engineers (and by this, I mean, all engineers across all engineering industries) is that there are "engineers" and there are "engineers" (you'll have to imagine the two different vocal emphases on those two versions of the same word. Engineering is a mindset - your farm kid who spent his life rebuilding the tractor will likely make a good engineer. The farm kid who spent his life taking photos of butterflies.. perhaps not. But on top of that mindset, the modern engineer has to learn how to write so that there is absolutely no way of being misunderstood. Proposals/budget estimates/quotations are one place where this is absolutely vital. You have to delineate your scope of supply with extremely hard boundaries, and anywhere where there is any possibility of not being able to have such a hard boundary, you need to write language that will cover you from scope creep, cost overruns, the inevitable interference of the client or their "engineer", etc etc. Now, if your clients are the BHPs and the Rio Tintos of the world, and similar, then you get good at this. If you are an automotive engineer, pitching work to the great unwashed masses, your skills in this area might not be well developed, because you're only dealing with knuckle draggers trying to get a big block legal in a Torana. And when I say "might not"....I'd suggest there's a better than even chance that any such skills might be completely absent. So, we might be able to look at your quote and see what the opportunities are for rebuttal.
