Wsid Drag Warz Sport Compact Meet Back On Dec 17th

[Sydneykid]

Sounds like you have never submitted a rule change to ANDRA or read the rule book on how to submit said rule change.  So nice of you to jump on the drag racing bandwagon and criticise something you've never been a part of.  Thankyou.

Hi Adrian, I feel very insulted. I have been drag racing as far back as the "Brickyards" and Castlereagh. I have at least one shelf of drag racing trophies (driver and car owner) in amongst 10 odd shelves of circuit racing. These days circuit racing consumes my time, but I am far from ignorant about drag racing. I was a scrutineer for some time, as well as competing, driving and engineering. In the late '70's I even drove at the old Pomona Raceway in the US, using a borrowed chassis and one of my own Chevy engines that I sold when the event finished.

Enough nostalgia........................

If one guy puts in one rule change submission, it doesn't get the same attention as if 20 guys put in 20 rule change submissions. That's the way politics works and this is all about lobbying, not logic.

thats exactly how it was explained to us at the se qld forum

its all about lobbying, not particurly common sense etc.

[1JZ.747]

so lets get the qld people to lobby together and the nsw people to lobby together and maybe be we may get things heard.

could be a pain in the arse, but its common sense.

[wrxkilla]

ok we all need to have a common goal

EXACTLY what rules do we want changed and what do we want them changed to...

we will still have to follow the procedure.

Sorry SK, i think again you have missed someones point, your ego again got in the way. Im sure Adrian does not really give too hoots about your antiquated history in the sport. The point he was trying to make is that you have had nothing to do with the sport (Sport Compact) and then you barge through the door whinging like a stuffed pig cause the rules don't suit you or your car. There are the correct channels to voice your opinion and the right people to see to get rule changes done. Im sure a lot of thinking and discussion went in to the rules we now have. So running around beating your chest and stroking your ego will get you little support in your cause for changes to be made. Adrian can be a very valuable allie in your quest to have things looked at. Just be a little more patient and lets make a group submission, i have rules that i think are silly too.

[Sydneykid]

Sorry if I am rattling your cages, I assure that is not my intention. A number of people have pointed out issues with the current Sport Compact regulations to me and asked my technical opinion. One of them sent me a link to this thread and asked me to comment. Having been to a briefing session and attended enough recent events in both a spectating and engineering capacity, it was blatently obvious that there were a few illogical items in the regulations.

This is not a matter of what suites one car or not, they are stupid for all cars.

Please go about changing/improving the rules your way and I will go about it my way. I know my way works because I have employed it successfully in the past. In the end who cares which way works, all that maters is we have lots more competitors having a good time racing.

cheers

muahahaha thats big from you ego boy!

You are a mad buying rice boy bride seats and then complaining about price if you need a pair.

We have a very similar rule in circuit racing you either have to run matching seats or standard.....so 1 aftermarket and 1 standard is fine. Pretty sensible compromise.

But when you can sell 15yo GTR seats for $1k a pair and replace them aftermarket brand new for $460 a pair why not? We can get fixed back seats from $460 a pair. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...topic=48101&hl=

<sigh> OK - I have sitting in front of me, a copy of the first ever ANDRA sport compact rule book for this year.

Who wants final clarification on a rule or wants help with writing a submission that WILL be taken seriously and seen by the correct people for discussion?

Adrian

[NXTIME]

I will be racing, even if the car is not completely ready, in support of SC racing.

already written one...see submission thread

[ECR033]

According to the current entry list on the WSID website (SEE HERE), there's only 18 cars entered so far...I would have thought more people would have entered by now given there's only a little over 2 weeks to go???

Or is this just the calm before the flood of entries in the last week or so??? Here's hoping anyway...

In any case, I'm going to enter later this week...just want to have a bit of fun, do a 9 sec pass () and make my small contribution to SC in this country

Shall we get a list going...
