Powercruise

[reNEGaDe88]

Definitely do an EOI for Motorvation seeing as GTST VSPEC gave that the go ahead. See who is interested.

Its a car show with lots of driving events available, doesn't mean you have to do them. Even if its a bit of a waste.

As said, we would need 6+ members definites. Heaps of people apply and then get told by 10th of December if they are giving a month gap between that and the show to orgainse the club display. Motorvation entry is a weird as for the last few years a V6 commodore with rims and lowered springs got picked over 400hp etc Skylines, supra's, silvia's. Due to what their taste at the motoplex. But like a R34 with standard body kit still looks killer. Just have nice wheels, lower car and neaten up the engine bay and interior. Worth a shot.

I am, and i'm not, i havent paid my fee's yet as i have lost the return email. secondly i am new to this and i feel a little resentment for saying it was a poor effort by the club?

Not enough interest by the club? well i dont even recall anyone here even organising/advertising so the members knew about properly it apart form this topic! It needs to be put where eveyone can see/read when they arrive at the site. I'm sure if more ppl knew about it and that some thing was being done the numbers woulda come. Even if we had 3 cars, still coulda of had signs saying where we are from to get the name out there, alot of WA skyliners out there that arnt members who would prolly love to be but dont know about us.

Just so we all know i've read the posts about us not having anything todo with the event etc etc still couldnt have stopped us from still trying, wasted opportunity at a really good event.

I feel i'm wasting my time trying to help ya's realise a point here.

I realise the event was not having club entry as an option, but is that to say we couldnt snatch an area and fend for ourselves Together?? silwa did, and yeah if suawa wont try represent next year i'll be joining the silwa crew, as they are a good bunch and was awesome fun! Just hope my car is ready

Ps: sweet, was a good effort you guys put in! was enjoyable and had many laughs haha.

Long and short of it dude is that SAU, officially, even SAUWA, doesn't actually do anything car related, we've probably got more paintballing events.... Buy a sticker, because they're cool, and then y'know... That's about the end of it.

Yeh, why not change that up a bit. SAUWA was big in like 05 with silWA combined cruises and stuff.

I don't mean to be rude, but the guys who run SAUWA have moved on a bit, we need some new blood for the club, and to run a few more car related events.

They still do cruises which is good. Go kart days are still happening. AHG/RAC skidpan days happen a fair bit. A few more drag days etc would be good.

You're a dick, and obviously don't know what you're talking about. Didn't see you at the driver training on Saturday, or your name down for the one in November ? Oh, that would involve driving

[GTS-t VSPEC]

IMO, Powercruise and Motorvation are predominantly driving events. If you just want to put your car in a car show then go to AutoSalon.

Can't speak for PowerCruise, but MotorVation is more like a traffic jam than a driving event. I love driving events, but get alot more track time at RAC Driver Training and Wanneroo for the cost.

Powercruise was a traffic jam too but the point you made in WT about being able to race at Wanners every month for a year for the same price (the inflated price of a pit pass at Powercruise) is mute. These are big events and that is probably why they entice people to show off their cars in front of big crowds.

Personally, I will enter Powercruise next yeah just for the fun of it. It means I get to run people I wouldn't normally get to run, give the v8's a run for their money in the Powerskidz and have a good time along some friends that I wouldn't normally get to at a track.

I guess it's all about what you're into, just cause it's not my cup of tea doesn't mean SAUWA wouldn't support our members from having a Club Entry. I like MotorVation, have entered 3 times, and spectated numerous others, so I'm not interested in going again, but doesn't stop us putting in a club entry if there is the interest

As I said we'll happily support any events our members are interested in, but no point whinging we weren't there after the fact (Not directed at Bubba)

[bubba]

Don't reply to my post while blasting the other tools for whinging!

Aww, toughen up princess

[WA_R32]

Hmm i think we should have an agm to discuss all of this

[R DIRTY 3]

Just to put it out there:

Would people be interested in a show and shine?

I can find a venue (park or something) where we can just display cars for the day. No driving events etc.

[bubba]

That would mean I'd actually have to wash my car

[R DIRTY 3]

NO! You cant! How will we know its your car? hahaha

How about for you we just call it a "Show"

[bubba]

That's much better!

[Char]

was a good show, the jap cars were.. so-so -with some exceptions

the drift demo was awesome

[Hanaldo]

Well ill put up an EOI for Motorvation and if it happens it happens, if it doesn't then its no biggy, atleast people can't complain there was no effort.

Bard i would be interested in a Show n Shine, the only thing is wouldn't that pretty much just be a meet for SAUWA people lol? Wouldn't be many other people there. Not saying that is a bad thing, just that if we can't entice people to sign up for a huge event like Motorvation where there will be thousands of people, what are the chances of getting people to come and park their car on an oval somewhere? I suppose I would be interested though...

[bubba]

I'd be interested in parking on an oval if they didn't mind me digging some trenches on the way out

I don't think Brad's suggestion is something to try and rival MV, but a way to get lots of Skylines and other imports to one spot so people can checkout each others rides. Could possibly be combined with some other clubs, but details are still being worked out.

[Hanaldo]

Oh yeh no, i wasn't saying we shouldn't do it because it won't be as big as MV. Was just saying that if it is only SAUWA that does it, then really it is just a get together... If we could involve some other clubs then that would be great! As i said, im definitely keen.

Paul just on the subject of Motorvation, you said SAUWA would put money into a group entry? Could you shoot me a PM about what this means and includes?
