It's looking very much like this will be the last Texikhana at the Sutton Road complex. Worse than that, after MASSIVE interest early, only 20 people have stumped up the cash for the current event so unless we get 6 more entrants by friday morning, IT WILL BE CANCELLED!

We have plans for other, more local, Texi styled events next year however none will include the famed back track of Sutton Road. We plan the event around 40 entrants so at 26, if we get them, you will get plenty of goes. If it goes ahead this will be your last chance. If it doesn't, we've already missed the boat.

If you're thinking about entering, please do so immediately.

Come on people! Everyone that went last time had a blast! It's a great day to get out and see what your car can do in a safe and fun environment!

Also a great way to meet more people in the club and put some faces to names.. and enjoy a drink or two the night before!!!

No really, I will be very upset with the club members if they don't join up and make this happen by coming along.

I have not been able to be involved in any motorsport (barring karts over a year ago) for almost 2yrs now and if this doesn't go ahead I will be bitterly dissapointed, and more than likely stop entering any motorsport from this point forward. :D

Please, for the love of god (and my motorsport addiction) join up so we can continue to have great events organised by great people, in this here great state of NSW.

Do it.

Hope i am not in the class of members that acted keen then pulled out...

I am still keen, very keen in fact, but pulled out because of the screamer pipe issue...Just didn't want to be the guy who instigated SAU or Sutton rd complex receiving bad press due to noise...

Anyway hope you get the numbers...

Sorry guys, if my car was in one piece I would definitly be there... :dry:

Get your butt to Sydney and drive my 200ZR back down :D

Come on peoples.... lets get involved...

All participants from the previous Texi's have had a blast to the best of my knowledge... I know the screamer pipe rule knocks a couple of people out but we usually have much more of a turnout by this point!

And I can promise that I'l try and get Smoky to dress up again :(

if the skid pan was not so small then i would make more effort to go... i think the piss up the night before hand would be more fun then the driving excersizes.. hope no one takes this the wrong way. If i can sell this rb25det for $1700 i will go for sure.

Not directed at you bud - just want less people without genuine reasons why they cannot make it.

People saying "I am interested", then nothing heard back from them don't help the cause because this is what the club gauges interest from for these types of events. If they then fail to attend, the club goes in the red for it, and generally wont run events again, like this thread expresses.

Those with genuine reasons are obviously not at fault, and when that happens, there is not much that can be done.

Yep, understand....

    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
    • I definitely agree with you there - I never click on content for cars I would never ever be able to get or compete with/against/be seen next to. Seeing a MX5 compete with a FD RX7 will make people upset though, for sure. Even in 2.5L Turbo form which is pretty grass roots. (or at least as grass roots as classic cars can be) Yes we're all classic car owners now.
