This years event will be held on the 22nd of November

Will that be a 2 day event again? ie. Friday 21st and Saturday 22nd?

also, will there be more Spectator areas a bit closer to the runway and even up near the finish line?

Nah, One day again (confirmed) and we will do a 2nd day (friday) if demand warrants it.

Spectator area will (hopefully) not have that fencing this year and the area will be about 3 times as long. Won't be any closer that 2013 though, well, cause it can't actually be any closer. We are working with authorities for finish line. Will get back to you all on that.

Ok cool.

It was awesome to watch but in all honesty, sitting over on the grass behind the orange fence, most of the cars were barely audible and seemed so far away.

It would be mad to get closer and especially see and hear them at full song towards the finish.

I realise there is alot of risk to spectators should something go wrong but surely there is more excitement to be had.

Will stay tuned. :D

If you are looking to enter this years event, that you need email us with your intention to enter. The reason we are asking people to email us, as we do every year, if due to:

1) Entries will be online via our website this year. This will include all vehicle and entrant details. This means Event and vehicle regs will be emailed out to all those that have emailed us one week before entries open. We have already had 250+ emails, from past and new entrants.

2) We have limited spots available for entrants. You need to email us so we can send you the event and vehicle regs when they are available.

3) Do not rely on others to get you entry info, eg, car clubs or mates. Email us yourself.

    • A seat I find stupidly comfortable to sit in is the one in a friend's Merc Race Car. It even has the huge wings that wrap around your head. Best ever. Only issue is climbing through his scaffolding he put up in the doorway of the car... Ha ha ha. I sat in that seat for a couple of hours doing wiring. Another stupid comfortable seat I find, especially if my back is aching, is my OMP fixed back bucket seat too. I'll just sit on it when I'm exhausted in the garage sometimes to relax!
    • I just got off the phone with Dean from Vosta in Brisbane. They are the ones that do the replica seats and they have a shop full of seats for my to try out. Lovely guy.  I haven't decided whether to go genuine or replicas, I'm leaning towards Genuine at this point but who knows.  Also thinking the STRADIAs are the way to go VS the GIAS since they have a lower hip edge and would be easier to get into. Don't really like the idea of arm rests on the models to the right of this diagram either, maybe they can be removed?
    • From my own first hand experience, keeping power for a fun Street able skyline down at a responsive low 200 wheel KW, is the best. It makes it super drive able through the twisties, you're not just smashing mass wheel spin, or only able to open the throttle for a split second before being at absurd speeds. That said, plenty of people like being morons at more than double the speed limit on public roads and hence are happy with 600whp and seeing 200kmh fly up frequently and fast. Also, at that low 200, a GTR can still do a decent quarter mile, and with a bit of fancy  clutch work (foot, not the parts) can still beat many many cars in a traffic light gp, even in the wet.
    • Good news. So it went up to 16.2 volts as per the manual then dropped to 13.6v where it maintains that voltage. The sizzling sound stopped after that. All is looking ok. Car starts up same as usual.
    • As strange as this sounds (as they are fixed back), my Bride Xero CS seats are the most comfortable seats I've used.  I vote go genuine.  The only downside I've found is on very long drives, you can't reposition your body while driving. So even though its comfy, being locked in the same position eventually becomes uncomfortable. I find myself stopping every 3 or so hours to stretch my legs on long drives.
