Calling all SAU Gold Coast residents!

Drag Combat is on Saturday 21 February at Willowbank Raceway.

I was thinking we should meet up somewhere early in the day and cruise up as a group. How does BP Coomera @ 8.30am for 9am departure sound? Anybody reckon we should leave earlier?

The cost to spectate is $30. So start saving now. :) FREE parking is available or you can pay $8 for "premier" parking.

It will be a full day event. I believe the gates open at 8am with racing finishing around 4-5pm.

Last years Drag Combat was awesome... Don't miss it this year!

i'm in it, last year was so packed, just abit dissapointed from the short cut we've taken through the back, cause when i got home and opened the bonnet all i could see is RED sand. i will definitely will pay the $8 prem parking :) that would be cool to see all our crs parked next to each other, would be the biggest attraction there........Yeee Ha... :headspin:

Pred: Cause Brisbane residents are weird :D Just kidding!

Your more than welcome to come as well as any other Brissy residents. I just figured most of the Brissy people would come out Ipswich Rd rather than backtracking down the M1.

Maybe we should stop at Redbank plaza and meet up with Brissy guys before continuing along to Willowbank?

The $8 premier parking isn't worth it. It's no different to the normal parking except it's on the other side of the fence and the thieves don't have to walk as far.

I dont think I'll be taking my car out. We'll take brutis out I think.

Hahahaha

Anyway I will be a drag combat a little earlier me thinks, am swinging spanners for GTR_Cam trying to get some good times out the newly tuned 33...

Yeah heat can be a bit of a bummer......but a bit of prep time makes all the diff, big sunshade, lightweight seat, sunblock and a couple of eskies full of ice and cold drinks in the boot ...... think of the poor competitors in the staging lanes !!! and finally....this IS Queensland. ..... Still hope to see you there

    • It’s not driver training though, it’s just an online questionnaire and $65 
    • Almost certainly no. In Vic they have this crazily restrictive set of rules for mods that is usually interpreted as "no more than 2 modifications to the intake system". And they're not real hot on upgraded turbos at all, let alone high mounts. That means if you fit a bigger (particularly front mount) intercooler (which is, of course, almost impossible to go without) then you're already down to one other mod allowed. You'll really benefit from hearing from someone from Vic who knows the real state of play. Even better, speak to an automotive mods certifying engineer from Vic. You can actually read the rules from the govco websites yourself, too.
    • Well, I'm not clicking on a link to f**king bookface (never have, never will), so I can't really know what the complaint here is about, but.... There's nothing particularly wrong with forcing people to have a higher license category to drive super/hypercars. Note that the laws are not about modified cars - only listed standard cars, because there are not supposed to be cars modified enough to meet the law's category limits anyway. If you have a modified car that falls into those power limits you're already in trouble anyway. What is wrong is the bullshit on-line "test" to get the upgrade, instead of any actual work and training.
    • Meh Don't have Facebook anymore but watched a YouTube about it, they also talked about them not being able to use and "sports" modes, not really sure how they would enforce that apart from logging the Db for the cars that have exhaust valve activation in sports mode Apart from all the high end sports cars and supercars that make the sort of power they are talking about standard, I cannot see it bothering anyone else, unless of course road side tests now include having a dyno and scales on site to test the power output vs weight What is it? 500hp per ton? And if the only additional cost is $60 or so, as the video stated, I cannot see that being a war stopper for the people that outlay a few hundred thousand dollars on a performance car In fact, I see it would be a ego boost for some, because they have a "special" drivers licence for a "special"person with a "special" car And if I did have a modified car that made over the limit, there's no way in hell I would apply for a "special" licence, I could see the authorities checking your licence against your rego, so if old mate applied for a licence, but owns a, say, R33 Skyline, that may trigger an inspection of said car as to why, and how, that old mate has a R33 that would fit the bill of making over 500hp per ton Again, meh, not something I believe will be a real issue to 99.9% of people
