Is it cool if I join in on the lane you've booked? How much $$ is it?

Sure thing mate hop in with us! You'll learn a heck load :D

Think we already have some S14/15's coming along so can have a chat. ( I think you have an s15 haha )

Its $55 to compete

$20 for spectators

Good to see guys coming out for a crack!

This is only my 3rd visit so i know what if feels like!

For competitors remember.

Important items for competitors to bring:

  • Current drivers licence
  • An Approved Helmet - See Approved Helmets Here (AS/NZS 1698 sticker)
  • Long-sleeved shirt
  • Long pants
  • Enclosed shoes (no thongs or sandals)

Make sure your battery is in tight and you have no oil leaks.

Charge your gopros!

Note - Got an email from John @ the drags saying they where booked out for lanes damn. So next best thing i do is ask to be all put in one lane.

Looks like its going to be a busy Sunday!

I'll be heading out from the Hills area if anyone is nearby can cruise out together.

I might have to step aside from this one. The admins said its pretty much fully booked and going to be a busy day.

Might go back on a Wednesday night when its cooler and i'm able to book a lane.

If it fills up with 220 cars - Will only get about 2-3 runs I'd say from 10am-4pm.

When i go at night i get about 6-8 runs and I'm there for less time :yes:

Sorry about that guys, but if only Sunday you can make it definitely go down and have a crack! Then come to a Wednesday night one as well after. Hopefully #@34GeeTeeTee can make it to this one. July 3 or 10 lets sketch it in :rolleyes:

Disregard what i said earlier. I will be there, got convinced to go out since i won't have a Wednesday off in a while :/

If you are still keen to go please PM me!

Hmm, I've bailed out now man.

Not exactly sure how entry works, but seeing as I'd be coming from Newcastle don't want to take the risk of getting there and not getting any runs if all the lanes are already booked...

I highly doubt ALL the lanes will be booked out, its just the allocation for bookings has been filled. So if we get in early ~ 930/10 and ask to all be in one lane it will still work out.

But all the way from Newie i feel you!

You can't book "all the lanes".

Competitor gates open at 10am so you want to be there by 9:30 to 9:45am at the latest and line up at the gates with other competitors. The first 220 through the gate get to race, everyone after that is a spectator or goes home.

After you have been scrutineered you line up in the lanes behind the start area that the officials appoint you to based on the type of car you have or the expected ET.

The only benefit to "booking a lane" is so that if you have a group of a dozen or more mates that you want to race against it makes it much easier to line up against them instead of mixed in with everyone else.

This man speaks the truth. Well put :)

Yer I went down for the last Sunday run and they don't book out lanes 1&2 so just be early and you get in I will be leaving Newcastle at 6am to get there and last time we were about 10 th car and we did 6 runs and I stopped for lunch and spend time with family .

I have the car on tralier see you guys there it should be a good temp wise good hp and good times

    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
    • I mean, if you were to move the jacking points away from the original location, that is, away from the wheels and closer to the centreline of the car, then it will be more likely to overbalance and tip off the supports. Same as we talked about before. I was talking about moving for-aft. If the sill is bent outward or inward, then the car would obviously look unstraight from the outside. Hopefully that hasn't happened either. Again, you can do comparative measurements from the chassis rails to see if there is much deflection.
    • Can you elaborate what you mean with your first sentence? I meant move as in the bulge kinda seemed like it got pulled "outward" meaning it got pulled down and to the side with the jacking rail itself, so the load bearing bulge now sits lower than usual and is not level with the sill on the other side of the jack point. Either that or the jacking rail just got pushed in a good bit.
    • As well as being risky WRT tipping off anyway. Yeah, I wouldn't expect it to move. Just measure from the rear one to the front one on the good side, then measure that same length on the wrecked side. You will find the notches in the pinchweld, and the jacking pad. Just spray a spot of marker paint or something there.
    • but any other area than the bulge you are talking about will just cave in then? The front driver side is pretty bent so I don't know if that will work the way it is now. I can still kinda make out where that bulge is/was but it looks like the position of it also changed due to all the mistreatment? Hard to tell
