Insssane - Once my line arrives (early Feb) I will be very interested in doing these type of events on a reg basis.

Just one question - I was running in the Vic championships last year and therefore my car is setup as per the CAMS regs ie it has a 2ndary bonnet restraint, 1kg fire ext. etc etc. Do I need anything else besides these requirements?

Cheers....its not actually a lot of stuff and too be hosest if I was tracking my car I'd prefer it there anyway. The only req besides the std OEM stuff is a 2nary bonnet restraint, 1kg fire exting, metal valve caps and that nothing loose must be in the car or in the boot.

I've prob missed something but thats about it :)

Man, I sooooooooooo wish that my car would be ready for this :P This is really the type of thing i'm interested in....If you happen to run one anytime from march onwards, can you please let me know!!

I will probably try and make it up to spectate this time though. So bummed out that the car has issues and i'm missing out on this!!

When the next night is organised i'll be putting it back up on the same 21 forums, plus more if i hear of any.

If the numbers are higher than 20 will there be a reduction in the cost?

Don't think you will be able to charge spectators for entry from a legal point of view without the proper permit and ABN No etc.

This event has all the required approval by CAMS and the likes, along with the fact that it has an ABN number due to being ran through a company. With this in place we are legally allowed to charge for spectating.

If the numbers were around the 35-40 then the price would be looked at, unless you can find another 15 people in 2 days the price will still be $150.

Well if you feel you must charge but I think it's a bit rude to pay to watch a bunch of amateurs in street cars run timed laps.

I would be too embarrassed to expect my friends to pay to watch me so if there is going to be a charge can you let me know so I can tell them not to bother.

If the 20 entrants are covering the costs why charge spectators?

MC Motorsport days and Sprint series is free to watch and more entertaining.

Sorry , but I really feel you will kill this event this way.

True, but I spose spectators paid to see us at the plex (1st time for some)

Yeah, I'd be hella nervous if my friends were there....I spose, let alone a whole load of spectators

Agreed , but there were quite a few cars there to watch that were quick and exciting.

As exciting as it was for me to run the 35 ,from a spectator point of view it would be boring to watch until a 12 sec car or better had a run :(

Oh and for the GTR drivers tomorrow night , if you catch me flash your lights when you're ready and I'll pull over as soon as it's safe to let you by.

You may be flashing me to get out of the way if i cannot disable my 180kmh Speed limiter... :)

I presume we are running the long Track..?

Also is my GF going to be charged to enter..?

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.

      Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.

      It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
