If you're only looking to do Texi events, go AASA - less bullshit and it's cheaper. edit:: I should have responded to everyone by now that's emailed - I'll figure out numbers tonight.

Hah - GIO wanted $782 for CTP for the Lancer. No thanks - Shannons for $626. still annoying though

ah - i must be thinking about something else at 29 then (really not sure what...)

yeah it's shit - but it's liverpool so naturally it's bad. sigh. i'll be 29 when the policy starts too, wtf, i thought that's when it was meant to get cheaper, or have they moved the goalposts again like every other f**king time i get close to being the cutoff age????

Sorry guys - got home pretty late from work last night and just crashed out. I'll do my best to get it done over the weekend - if it's not done by the AGM, everyone there will bug me about it until it's done.

Lancer is up for rego renewal - did the greenslips.nsw.gov.au thing and cheapest was 704 - rang shannons and it was 624. still seems a massive chunk, but all those other companies can just suck it.

Got your stuff today dude, thanks!

Will check it out tomorrow night and then PM you - I think we're holding off on saying until there's only a few spots left because of the logistical nightmare of last-minute rushes

Yep, unfortunately there's very few places anywhere around Sydney to do this type of event - we tried to book around September last year for this year's events, and could only get long weekends, that's how hard it is to get dates (will be looking into booking next year's stuff pretty soon then!). (incoming explanation/rant) It sucks, but unfortunately we can only do the best with what we've got. We try and run these events at absolute break even to keep the costs down and attendance high. There was recently an increase in fees for entrants, a small fee for passengers and also costs for food/drink as we can supply; this is because our cost of hiring the venue has gone up by about 30-40% in the last 2 years. We tried to absorb the cost last year by having 40 entrants per day, but it was giving people the shits because people weren't getting enough runs, so we dropped it down to 35 and then 30 (from memory) so that everyone gets heaps of runs, has heaps of fun. It's just unfortunate that we need to charge a little more to break even instead of running at a loss. We'd love to do it, but it's just unsustainable, especially that everyone involved in running the days give their time voluntarily.

How far away are you from Blacktown? Maybe give Carbon Car Systems a call and have a chat to Daniel - absolutely knows his shit. Tell him the boys from SAU sent you http://www.carboncarsystems.com.au/

Yep - I'll make a note. If you want, fill in the PDF and email it to [email protected] - good enough for me. Not sure why; maybe a long weekend thing? We usually have pretty good attendance. It's one of the cheapest track days you can get - we've heard from other clubs in other states that they're running these days for > $100 and they fill up instantly... Maybe we're all just tightarses in NSW

Yeah, taking liner back to 2527 made it ~500 a year (just over). was going to be 624 in 2170. I'm still unsure how cutting payments by half makes for only a 15% reduction in fees - does 70% of my CTP go to "administration"?

I'll go over the new entrants on Thursday (have a free night) and will work out number of spots left.

ah yeah sorry forgot to respond. yours is fine busy at work as per usual.

Spots still available. We'll update the first post when it's full.

No worries dude! Just trying to make sure I've got everything in order and I wasn't sure who you were No huge rush. thx matt also - volunteers, usually 8am is an awesome time for arrival (from memory). helps to get the trailer unloaded, courses set up, people lining up in the right spot, etc.

PM's sent to all confirmed entries so far. Also, I've got payment but no forms from Kivan Ahmadi - can you shoot your forms off to [email protected], and I'll 100% confirm you.

Wait hang on I rang today and asked the Q again re: getting it in APR not Livo Got told it was $264 for 12 months???? Waiting for the paperwork to confirm. Awesome if that's the case (considering it gets driven like 6 times a year)

$620 for the liner in Liverpool going to save $150 because the car isn't in liverpool, it's down the coast. So a smidge under $500.

Shit, missed emailing people again this weekend. Will endeavour to do so by Thursday. Kick me up the arse if I don't.

Sorry - haven't had time with work. Will try and get something happening on the weekend and will respond to everyone who's entered. More people are always appreciated, there's still spots.

and okay, sending the 45 nao

As above, the form will be put up this week - if you want to pay now that's fine; we'll make sure you're on the list Nick, can you edit your first post to bold the line about sending all entries to the gmail?

Reserving spot #15 - will pay soon. Last good driving before I'm off the road for a while!

Can definitely recommend JapLink - those guys know their stuff and are no-bullshit.
