The problem with track days AHG,Barbs etc, is you can't just go down there when you feel like it, theres predetermined dates. And with Barbs, it's expensive. Cams liscense+WASCC+fee each time.

If you read the proposal for the bullsbrook burnout pad, it to will have times you can go, and times you cant....so dont think it can be used as a spare of the moment "im bored" thing to do.

As for track days and licenses being expensive....look at how much we spend on our cars. $3k for shinny wheels, $3k for new turbo, $1k for intercooler, Couple hundred for guages, $couple grand on aftermarket front bar and cf bonnet, $2-3k for engine management and tuning etc etc and the list can go on.

Why is it deemed expensive to go club racing. $40 membership (once a year), $88 CAMS license (once a year), Event entry $75-150 per event. So if you do 6 events a year (average 1 every 2 months) then its around $1000 a year to get out on the track where you can drive the car hard, improve your own driving ability, realise what your car can and cant do and fosuc on improving it. Nothing better that making changes to a car and see the lap times drop.

There is no skill in sliding around a corner on the street or doing a burnout or racing away at a set of traffic lights while risking soemthing going wrong and ending up with what could be a very fatal crash with people who are innocent and just trying to drive and go about their own business.

Greg, this is no means at go at you personally or your comments, its just the other side of the fence.

I think it was mainly just when the raaf base wasn't using the runway or something?

Don't get me wrong I have all intention of getting my wascc membership and cams liscense in the next month or so.

I'm just saying like in general thats the problem, people are all like "man hell wanna give my car a punt, whens the next day at barbs? a month away? ahh i can wait i guess"..month passes.."hey bro track day this week..ahh bills... no money for liscense and wascc.." *rips skid*

Being on this side of the country makes it a little worse as well, having one track in the metro area and collie running very rare events unlike queensland for example with more places to go and events to partake in.

Again don't get me wrong I don't condone street racing etc I'm just seeing it from different angles something the local government is seemingly unwilling to do.
