Proposed Track Night At Wannaroo

[INSSSANE]

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.

hello my name is jai and i am the organiser of this event, brett who you

have been speaking to, works for me. now i have silently sat back and

watched as you abuse the night that we have spent hours working on.

but now i feel that it is going to far. for starters you go on like your

racing? but who are you? and have i seen your money? i dont think so.

the night is about people having fun and learing to race their own car

around a very challenging track at night. it gives them the opertunity to

see how they compare against similar cars, older cars and newer cars.

they may be new to racing or have done it for years, it is unfair to call

them amatuers, they are enthusiasts.

i dont believe it is rude to charge an entry fee. and only $5 i might add.

not $10 like the drifting. or $15 like wed night drags. 20 people DOES NOT

cover costs. 30 people DOES NOT cover costs.

clearly you have no idea and are clearly dreaming. people like you will sit

on forums all day long and bag out events like this because you dont have

the balls to stand up and participate. honestly i dont want you there with

that attitude. but im more than happy to invite YOUR friends to come and

watch.

Regards

cmon im coming down and dont mind paying $5 will be worth every penny laughing at one of my mates. hope its a good turn out ill be there around 8pm if thats ok. ill try n get my video camera and digital camerea charged too.

[Topaz]

Sorry Jai, I dont think R34 was abusing the night (and neither was I), it was just about the fact that spectators we may have told or invited have to pay.... which I'm sure wouldn't be an issue for them, maybe slightly unexpected though.

Also, I spose we wouldn't know the cost of the night in total, but if 20 people paying $150 doesn't cover charges we are grateful the rest of the cost has been made up or sacrificed

[INSSSANE]

I have been informed that track hire and insurance is $4000 alone just to give you some idea.

I do hope everyone turns up for this event as it is looking to be a top night with the selection of cars that we have on our list.

As a reminder, there will be a bbq food and cold drinks available on the night and that alcohol is not permitted...

Thanks for the clarification Brett.

I was under the impression that 20 people were required to break even. Now I know that not to be the case I stand corrected and apologise.

I did defend your fees early on in this post as others were complaining about the charge whereas I was appreciative of the work involved in making this work.

My issue was the costs charged to spectators but if this is factored in to break even then that is fine by me.

And now to answer Mr Jai <_<

Brett,

Quick question: are you using the short track or the long track. Just that I have never driven on the long track at night. The exit of Shell & Kolb would be interesting in the dark...

[INSSSANE]

It's the short track as the long track isn't lit up around that right hand sweeper.

That's ok, we aren't out to pissoff the car community. We're just trying to give them an opportunity to use their vehicles in the manner that they were meant to be used, but legally.

OK Jai

Firstly your not even a member of this forum to be handing out insults such as your uninformed ramblings above.

So Pull your head in and calm down.

Secondly let me state that you have $75 of mine sitting in your account.

So yes you should "think so".

Secondly I only just received my car from Japan and am not really ready to track it yet but when the event was in danger of not going ahead I made a promise to you that if you got to 19 entrants I would be the 20th. When you emailed me the money was in your account within 10 minutes even though I may not enter the event.

But I will pay the balance anyway...why?? because I gave you my word and that is of great importance to me.

I am dissappointed that you chose to grandstand on these forums rather than contact me directly and discuss my concerns like adults.

Now if me and my attitude are not the suitable I shall comply with your request and not come should an apology from you not be forthcoming.

Oh and finally on not having the balls to stand up and compete?

Who am I ?

I have

-Competed at state level in Rallying for 13 seasons

-Nationally seeded driver

-Nissan/Datsun club champion

-CAMS appointed official

-Autocross winner

-State motorkana class champion for 4 consecutive years

-Winner of numerous Hillclimbs

-Competitor in the Wanneroo 5 hour.

-Competitor in several Tarmac events

-Podium finish first ever Navigation Rally (as the Navigator)

-Still a self confessed amature.

And heaps of other events I haven't got time to list as I do not sit on the internet all day.

But I will post a pic of my trophy cabinet tonight as well if you like.

The remainder of my entry fee has now be transfered to your account but as I type this I'm just getting angrier.

I'm paid up but don't know if I will turn up if this is typical of your attitude. I'm there for fun and the love of the sport. If there is bad blood it ceases to be fun.

Wow...

Hope my Credentials are OK for the event as all I have is a 25metre Breast stoke swimming certificate from Primary school :lol:

Anyway....If its only the short track, I wonder whether its worth disconnecting the ECU 180kmh Speed limiter?

I still think it will hit it.....

[Topaz]

Yeah R34, I have a few bball trophies and a 3rd place ribbon for running the grade 4, but thats all.

Soubnds like we GTRer's will be waving you by instead

:wavey:

[RadiuM]

any more info as this event is tomorrow and i havent received much about it.

do we pay the remainder at the gate? to someone inside (if its someone inside then do we also get charged entry fee? )

aaaaaaand such n such.

thanks

Shaun

[Topaz]

you get the email? (within the last 4 hours or so)

All sounds pretty fair and well....Not to sound pushy and ungrateful, but there was a mension of dinner, when will that be thrown in?

[PSI_GTSII]

If there is to be a BBQ let me know, as I work for Buttercup and can get all the Rolls for free no problem

[R34]

Crap!! Hitting 180kph on the short track ?

You guys have got me running scared now

I have the limiter in place too but never gave it a thought as there is no way my poor NA will get to those speeds

Look forward to seeing you there

[kermit]

i realise it is late notice but is it too late for another entry?

kermit

[RadiuM]
