Any update on this? I can't find much around on the net, except an Evo sliding on this skidpan late last year (by the looks of it).

I love the SAU DECA and Drfit Skills type events that have been held at DECA so far. Would love to visit something a little closer to Melbourne.

Pretty much what I said in 2012

Don't believe it's got off the ground as you can't just build something for one purpose and then use it for another.

And in the car world, this type of thing (if approved) would be talk of the town for good reason ;)

Happy to be corrected if it's up and running, but have not heard bo-peep about it.

Yeah i attended the EVO day last year. Was a good day (except for my hangover)

There are plans to do more, but when... I got no idea.

Any idea on name of company etc that ran it or a phone number? place looks good for so many activities!

To be honest, I got nothing. The day was organized by someone else on the EVO Forum.

But if I was wanting the contact details, I'd Google the shit out of the maps and Internerd and then call em up :)

    • Yes, and so the barest minimum power target is the one that makes the most sense. Massive power is fun, but you can only use it for 1.5s at a time, and only every now and then. Medium power levels allow you to enjoy the car far more often and for longer. 500 engine HP is just below 300 rwkW which is about the maximum that is sensible for any street car really. And for a 2.6L six, it will still leave you with a decent boost response and some sort of linearity of power delivery. As you get up towards 400rwkW the onset of power tends to be increasingly like a cliff and you need drag radials to keep the ground in proper contact with the car, and.... it's just not a car for driving around any more.
    • I already reached that conclusion myself after reading up a whole bunch and watching various videos from multiple sources. Don't know yet how I'd best manage that with the least amount of headache. Probably pulling the sump and just welding on a AN10 adapter or something. I also think it's healthy to take most opinions with a grain of salt, because experiences differ wildly and especially Aussies - when talking about RBs - don't know a world below 600whp drag builds. Personally I doubt I will ever take my R33 racing, so it's going to be a street car with the occasional spirited drive. Hence why I am (so far) under the impression that I'm going to be fine with a stock-ish engine for a while.
    • Me either, I tell people to dig now hence the company car lol 
    • It's flawless. (Except for major maintenance bill that non-car people would feel salty about for years afterwards) Just kidding. Life's too short to be bored driving a Camry.
