Seeing as though a BBQ is being provided for lunch I assume that is the SAU BBQ? If so put me down as 1x spectator and i'll bring the gear.

[Bodella]

I'll come along as a spectator.

[Whoneedstherapy]

I'm pumped for this!

[ydr030]

cross the line skids?

[N1GTR]

No.

Its not a burnout comp

[d00dz]

Mounting cameras on the external front or rear or back or side or anywhere on and INSIDE the car allowed?

ie......

They use these on the F1 car when it ran in bathurst...

[1320ft]

Yes, aslong as it is secure/using a made for purpose mount. And when inside the vehicle is not positioned to interfere with the driver.

[JNSr33]

Would like to come and check it out.

There are ways around this... you could break the beam (and start the timers) then take off and see what MPH you can get. This can indicate your potential ET on a perfect run. Or you could take off easy and then plant it - again, to see what MPH is acheived on the run, and hence what potential ET the car is capable of.

Alternatively, you could take off hard and then either back off or brake before the finish line. Couple the first half track passes with the MPH acheived on the other runs and you can work out the opotimal run ET and TS. Then, go hard at the end of the day and get your 10second timeslip and get booted

That must have been quite a while ago and WSID's private days were much different back then. Now they have two types, ones like this SAU:NSW one (ie 11.00+ cars), and the private track hire days for ANDRA-teched cars (a handful of cars only).

Is there truth to the rumor that if it's blatantly obvious by your 60" foot that you're holding off that you can get booted by that time even if you don't run a 10?

The rule book does allow it, but it only gets used if you are being an idiot or a c*nt towards the officials etc.

just looked through the ANDRA rule book and can't see anything about 60" but there is a time limit of 7secs for the 1/8th mile

[Pezhead]

I was just reading in the previous event (2007) where several cars ran within 5 or 7 hundreths of breaking into 10's and was fine. So sounds like it isn't a "fuzzy" rule, but I guess one of the guys that is closer to the rules could answer definitively.

[Aggroman]

List is all updated to date.. Come on everyone, you wanted it and said u would come and now you have all dropped off..

Tell your friends and get entered because if you dont do it now it may never come back!

[MrBlonde]

There is nothing about a short time to get you booted, just ET or trap speed.

You can also be booted if you are running quicker than 12.50 and have slicks without front runners. I did this in testing and sandbagged at half track .. and got booted.

[MrBlonde]

I can check if other BMW guys are interested in trying out their street cars. They will all be total beginners but might get some more warm bodies.

[Duncan]

That would be great, thanks Kenny. We have plenty of spots still available!

[MrBlonde]

Duncan, I'm on it. Also asked around other car guys I know.

[wizard]

Have posted it on the AUS300zx forum to see if i can create some interest
