The wowsers are at it again trying to shut down Marulan Driver Training Centre. MDTC needs community support to stay alive, otherwise the vocal minority will win yet another battle and push more cars onto the streets. This is one of the FEW track locations available in NSW for motoring enthusiasts to LEGALLY enjoy their cars. Please vote HERE to help keep this place open so we can all enjoy our vehicles - scroll to the bottom of the page for the poll. Note: you can only vote once per day.

price on Greddy plenum by itself?

will the rail seat suit anything else?

Bruce from the Karting Club told me that they used to hold a carpark meet once a year, from what he said it sounds like it was in the civic car park next to the cop shop - they had to get parliamentary approval as it was within the parliamentary triangle, or something like that. He gave me the name of the insurance mob they used to do this, so I might call him back and pick his brain a little more. If we could get somebody like Fifth Gear, IDA or Project to put up the public liability insurance and present a professional portfolio, then I think we'd have a better chance of getting a public demo happening. It would also highlight the need for a track here. In the meantime, everybody email Stanhope telling him we need a track. Be diplomatic about it too, nothing will ever happen as a result of: 'Oi, like we need a track to rip skids and shit, build us one.'

No worries mate, I'll try sell the rims I have locally & get back to you.

I really hope something eventuates from it. Recently I've contacted Sutton Rd, Canberra Karting Club, Majura Rd AFP Complex, NSW Police (in regards to the driver training centre in Kenmore) and nobody is interested in hosting anything. Sutton have noise issues Kart track is too small Majura isn't available for hire NSW Police politely told me 'no chance' Fifth Gear Motoring and Initial Drift Australia are keen to try get something happening in the ACT and willing to help out with public liability insurance, we just need to find a suitable place that doesn't have noise issues. Modifying the old drag strip would be ideal, but the airport aren't having any of that.

Interested in swaps of any sort?

Thanks Eiji - I don't get on here that often so appreciate the free plug. This trip was the precursor to the first G1GP (Gaijin series) at Ebisu, seeing 2 Aussie boys take on a few local Japanese drivers and walk away with a few parts for their troubles. It seems we've created a monster as there is now a G1GP series consisting of 3 rounds (one at each Drift Matsuri) this year with a view to make a few different classes in the coming years. By all means please come along - anybody thats into cars is welcome, have a chat with like minded folks and have a few beers. The purpose of this is to promote the DVD for pre-orders, but there is no incentive to buy it.

^^ Sorry mate but that spot went before I got the PM. A few NS folk missed out, so I'm happy to organise another one later in the year that can be a combined NS/SAU day.

I'll be in Adelaide over Easter, if it's still around I'' come check it out.

Further to the above, here's the feedback I got in regards to rego, etc "Yes all vehicles must be registered, in a road worthy condition and have at least two seats and seatbelts. Re the noise: we are not allowed to produce more than 85dbA at 30m from the car at any time, we do run a noise metre on the day and it's a non negotiable requirement. This is an ACT Government law and enforced by the Environment Protection Authority. It is a real pain but that's the law!"

Currently there is 3 spots available. If you're certain on this PM me, i'll reply with my details.

Never mind hating on the idiot who was speeding in a stolen car BEFORE the cops initiated the chase, let's just give the cops shit for doing their job - trying to apprehend somebody breaking multiple laws at once. A family was killed....... but the cops might've been bullshitting so let's attack them. The dickhead driver killed himeself, 3 other people and ciritically injured his female passenger whilst speeding in a stolen car.... but the cops might be bullshitting so let's attack them. Oh how easy it is to jump on the bandwagon

Nobody wants to do a skidpan day?

I'm organising a skidpan day for Sunday May 2nd, arvo session. This was originally organised to be a NS.com day, but so far only 3 people have paid - one of them is on here as well - so I'm opening it up to people on here to help fill the spots. I have to make the confirmation payment 3 weeks before the event, so by April 11th. Price is $120 per person, capped limit of 10 people. Payment is required in full. If you want to come along please PM me and i'll send you my details. Cheers, Sol

^^ Seconded, Pro Engines for the engine work you want done. ESP & Autotech in Hume charge a fair bit, both have good and bad stories. Speak to all 3 and decide for yourself who to go with.

what tyres are you getting?

$100 for both

Need the gearstick surround & boot as well? I've got no use for them anymore.
