The farm was never built to be world class. Just as MDTC is not world class, and is also narrow. Should they be forced to rip it up? Their neighbors don't like it either if it makes it any different.

I feel we should support all of these race tracks and push for as many as possible before our government and other groups kill the sport at a club level.

I am with you on this one John. We have a distinct lack of tracks around the place, if a very gracious private property owner decides to open his personal gates and let people onto it then good on him. It's after all his property and his money built the driveway to enjoy his own cars on. Neighbours always complain about change to other people's properties, but perhaps they should consider whether they would rather someone racing up their road instead. Casar Park is a great idea and hopefully it doesn't lose momentum like the Warnervale proposal of years gone by did.

they need more funding, basically they are looking for car enthusiasts to donate funds to get it going...

Ive been speaking to Brad, who is part of the exec committee for CASAR Park and whilst they are working hard to make it happen, fundraising is a large part of it..

I personally am wanting to make it common knowledge to all motoring enthusiasts that the track is there to be built if, and I stress if, the enthusiasts are willing to basically do something to make it happen... funding...!!

If every enthusiast donated $10 ea, this track would be getting built RIGHT NOW!!!!

lets make dreams become reality, lets not let this development become one of the ones that didnt go anywhere!!!

I'm happy to send my $10, even happy to organize a cruise and have everyone donate $10 each to go towards the project, but!! If the project doesn't go ahead what happens to said $10

Where are the funds to be deposited? How do we know who controls the bank account? Don't mind losing the cash at this price, but I do mind if the funds are going to some Richard Cranium Scammer pulling a development project swifty.

exactly...?

this is what Im trying to get across to the execs, they think people dont want to donate, I feel people dont want to donate because:

A. the exec committe are not reputable

B. there is no reason why this effort will succeed

C. they (the enthusiasts) have seen track ideas come and go previously

The exec committee have a good community based thought to the idea, but they really need to include the motor enthusiast in their plans, I would love to show them that enthusiasts are ready and willing to support but they (the enthusiasts) need some reassurance that the development isnt half hearted and that the funds will go towards what is intended, building a track!

What if I got some very reputable motoring legends to endorse the this development, would that help??

This development has a donation page if you want to donate.

http://gogetfunding.com/project/casar-park-community-motor-sport-facility

I would like to see every car club and forum have a dedicated CASAR park representative spouting the efforts of the committee and also answering questions that need be answered, like what would a track day cost at the proposed venue, what types of motorsport would they allow, would their be timing available, how many pit garages would be available?...

I have these answers, and Im working with them to have these answers meet the expectation of the proposed users of the venue, YOU the enthusiast.

meh I'm willing a couple of bucks for a new race track.

Crowdfunding site is here: http://gogetfunding.com/project/casar-park-community-motor-sport-facility. I've just booked into their first track day.

CAMS article on the track is here: http://www.cams.com.au/media/news/latest-news/creating-casar-park

Motor racing legend Dick Johnson's race team got shorted millions follow the collapse of sponsor Westpoint. Westpoint collapsed owing mum and dad investors millions. Busted being dodgy with their funding. Anyhow, if you could convince him to come on Board after scrutinising the deal and appoint him to the Board. Then you'd get a fountain of funding.

The donation options start at $30 to show support; $60 to be first to see and walk the track; options continue as you increase donation amount, the next one was 6 x 20 min laps of track and so on. You have to search a bit after following Duncan's link. I donated $60 and according to tally was the 18th donator. There are a couple of caveats, but they are explained on gogetfunding Casar page. Seems like someone is finally making an effort to get a track built.

If you are still concerned, the payment is made via Paypal link and use your credit card to make the payment through this as its the safest option.

It appears to be legitimate.

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
