I will open a thread for SMS subscription on events notification. I've started sending out SMS to people about events.

So we have:

Forums

Facebook

SMS

email

All of these are currently in use for promoting our events. The fact is taht people are just not entering. I do not think it is an awareness problem.

Afaik NSCc is a timed day and they also run a club championship. Compare apples with apples steveo....

Also going back a few years ago how come these days were sold out? What's changed since then?

When I was vice pres there was talk of an Sau club champ. People these days that are into track days will more likely enter a day with timing or a comp, like a supersprint series. This is more like a speed off the streets day but with passengers. Maybe people got scared off the whole renew vs Sau days from last year?

To me the only benefit of these days is the passenger seats. There are no qualified instructors and no timing, and not a comp. That's my thoughts and you need to look at all options and situations as to why. Ask the members on the day as to why they entered and what can be done to promote these days.

Suttonroad will appeal to more people. That event kicks ass!!!!

Unfortunately I cannot make that due to family commitments.

Wouldn't having a few more entrants cover the timing, and the timing bring in a few more entrants.

All track days I do now are with SSCC or NSCC and they are timed events, I've never found them over packed and they always have a heap of entrants.

If SAU just want untimed passenger days they need to be advertised early and have other things to bring in people like a show n shine, sponsor talks, tech info and such, crack out the instant coffee in the morning and sell cups for $2.00.

This probably isn't the thread for this but I like the SAU days and I want to attend but I need something to get me there.

Yes I'm a needy little bastard.

Yeah Oran park was awesome, I'm mad I only got to run on it half a dozen times; I'm not sure what's keeping people away from track days, hopefully it was just a weird blip and everyone will be clamouring for spots at the next one.

I much prefer timing myself, did the nscc day on the Sunday and there was a lot more interest in comparing lap times and it wasn't uncommon to see a throng of drivers and onlookers gathered around the flat screens peering intently at their times with the chatter non stop.

I wasn't aware of a club championship happening but I certainly wanted to be inside the top ten but was happy enough with top thirteen as its my lucky number.

Now see you all at sutton!

      Best Skyline ever

      By Ozdavroz · Posted

      Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).

      Leather Gucci Bag With Receipt

      Gucci bags tend to hold their value well, so someone’s definitely going to get a nice find here.

      @Ozdavroz Not going to get a better deal than that. Cash up front and ongoing payments. 🤑

      Starting again

      I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed

      All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?
