See this is why we need everyone to give input

Top ideas Sir Snow. Would make it easier to manage indeed given some of the cars coming along

[Humbla]

Is it ok to come down to spectate and chat,my ol carcass is not up for track days an stuff anymore.

[R31Nismoid]

Course it is - there is a NSW contingent coming down. Eric (NSW) & Vu (SA) are going to be doing some filming for state clubs that will go onto the DVD as well, so it'll be quite awesome

Just to spectate @ both events will be free

if its th one in your avatar, its a cube with mags. Mr Chef has set the bar with cubes

Why so serious? It's almost stock, I'd just be entering for a laugh, it wouldn't win anything. But I was making the point that some FWDs might like to enter and there's no class for them to enter in.

[Humbla]

Cheers really looking forward to meeting every one and haveing a chat.

Perhaps its just me but I dont see the point of a "Best Intruder" class when there are still other area's to add trophies for the skylines.

"Best Engineered" for example. Sure its a pipe dream for me, but if the class existed, I would be stoked if I won it. Or of I didn't it would be nice at least to be compared with other highly engineered cars. Best modified R32/R33/R34 could also potentially have their own classes.

Considering Im driving over 6000km to attend this event, I see "best intruder" as being about as important as the best commodore burnout. Both are things I won't be looking at while at a 'Skyline' event.

(Dont take that as though I'm hating on your cube either. After all, my other car is a vw! We are all entitled to our bad tastes and insanities.)

[R31Nismoid]

Good ideas there Ian, and valid points. It's people like you travelling as far as you are - is what we are trying to accommodate best. Hence limited track day numbers to give everyone as much track time as possible for their travel.

Best Modified though - interesting class given there is already "best R34" and "best overall GTR" - the same car would potentially already take two trophies and then best mod as well.

Unfortunately the budget for the event isn't endless so can have unlimited trophies for all classes.

Although that said I've been talking to 2-3 places for trophies and getting rough quotes. If its as all possible there will be more classes. Will come down to whatever kinda deal can be organised really

Hoping to get all the SAU Club Presidents along to do the judging, and then one club member as well or something.

Was also thinking of a SAU Club "grudge trophy" for the Club with the most attitude, and then each year it gets taken into account and various clubs could win it for the year haha. Nothing like a bit of friendly rivalry,

Also if people that are coming to the SAU Nats, want a pic of their car on the Facebook album - shoot a pic though

Already a few pics going up/coming though.

Gotta say I'm massively pumped about this. Finishing touches being applied to the 32 in preparation, but damnit shoulda done the track day on the Sunday and show n shine the day before - cos the car is going to rock up perfect, then get thrashed on the track.... I need a pet detailer

Ash, what do you think the chances are of finding accommodation now for 2 people?

[Madaz]

The Accommodation Widget on the site will give you an idea pretty quickly.

It's real time - so you can book now

[dezz]

yeah sussed it out, looks to be plenty of options available so that's a good sign. Not sure what days I'm coming yet or if I'm staying, so I'll look again when I know what's going on..

Any idea where the majority of the Vic guys are staying?

[R31Nismoid]

No idea - i think over like 3 separate venues so far given how many people are coming up

I aint even booked my own accomm LOL

[dark.sky]

Hey guys, just wondering where the saturday night stuff (Sat 29th Evening - Finger food/group function & Track Day Trophies) is being held, just trying to figure out where to stay.

[R31Nismoid]

Shepparton mate.

Thought it was on the website, realise it isn't. Will get it updated.

[IMSLY]

Has anyone thought about letting car magazines know this event is going on

Might give sau some sort of reputation and might get more member and help out each sector of sau financially

[R31Nismoid]

Yeah there will be some ads in HPI and stuff

Whether they come along to check it out or not is upto the publication.
