This guarantees loads of runs and minimal wait time but if you don't sign up, well you snooze you lose. So get in quick to reserve your spot. Spectators:Free to watch Lunch:BBQ will be $3 snag sandwich and $1.50 cans (selection of flavours available) Passengers:$10 which is cheap compared to other clubs and events, (SUPPORTS OUR CLUB!!!) , MUST sign on, MUST wear wrist to neck/ankle clothing with enclosed shoes and approved helmet, same as drivers. All passengers must sign a passenger indemnity form on the day. Under 18 years must have parent or guardian permission. Courses: Released on the day at sign on First Timers:Don't be shy, you'll love it. Those of you that have been to one of these before will agree, this is the best money you can spend as far as driving time for an event. The event will be run after run until 4.30pm, and considering most runs are under 1 minute AND that we're kicking off at 9am, that's a lot of runs This is a safe event where you only go as hard as you want to, there's no pressure, one car on a course at a time. Perfect for beginners to have a first try at driving their pride and joy off the streets. With that said, there's usually some friendly competition between mates, which is great to watch Timing for the day: Scrutineering/sign on starts - 7.00am Scrutineering/sign on ends - 8.30am (don't show up at 8.25am, come with plenty of time to spare) Drivers brief - 8.40am (mandatory attendance all drivers) Runs start - 9.00am Lunch approx - 12.30pm depending on how the day is going (One hour) Runs stop - 4.45pm Gates close - 5.00pm Entrants please note: -Passengers must not be under the age of 15 years.

So I'll put this up as a general reminder to people. We want this event to be a casual, family friendly day and as such we would appreciate it, if you all helped make that happen. SAUNSW does have a code of ethics, which can be found on the link provided. http://saunsw.com.au/code-of-ethics/ No Hooning onsite, outside or in the area. There are places you can go for that, like our upcoming Texikhana or Trackday No engine revving, skids or anti-social behaviour. Please pick-up your rubbish and place it in the bin. Please don't leave your goods unattended, they are the sellers responsibility. SAUNSW carries no responsibility for items sold, or information given.

If we need to postpone for any reason, then I will put it up in this thread and also on Facebook. As long as Silverwater Park is open, then we will be going ahead. Park closure information can be found at http://www.auburn.nsw.gov.au/Explore/Sportsgrounds/Pages/ParkClosureInformation.aspx

That can be your job Terry.....SAU's one man wrecking crew!

75coupe The way we have set it up is If you want sell parts then you need to buy a Ticket, If you want to show your car in our informal car show, then you need to buy a Ticket, If you park your car on the street and walk in then it is free entry to spectators!

Just a heads up for anyone coming up for the NULON Nationals Daylight saving ends in NSW on Sunday, 6 April 2014, when clocks go back one hour at 3:00 am.

I'm heading up on Sunday, leaving from Thornleigh McDonalds and will be stopping at the Truck stop/Hungry Jacks at Beresfield, should get to Beresfield between 7:30am to 8:00am, so if anyone wants to head up together, my plan is in the NULON thread

So I'm going to drive up to see this event, on Sunday and I know there are a few who are heading up as well. If people want to head up in a group, then you are welcome, this is my plan. I want to get there before 9:15am because that is when the roads are being closed and then you need to come in from the other end. So let me know if you want to head up together, so I know. My plan is to Meet at Thornleigh McDonalds 220 Pennant hills Rd at 6:00am , leave no later than 6:30am Head up Pennant hills rd to the Pacific Hwy and follow it all the way up to the truck stop at Beresfield and grab a cup of coffee there, then Follow Pacific hwy all the way up to Wootten way, Bulahdelah to watch the action. It is taking the M1 and A1 all the way. Map Link http://goo.gl/maps/p9WFh

I'm IN thanks Terry

redcorpsjames the event is not just for Skylines, all makes and models are welcome, Our goal is to promote our club and attract new members, with a nice day out where people can sell their unwanted parts and catch-up in our informal car meet.

I have to agree with Duncan and Pezhead. If anyone has a problem come to the AGM and bring it up, or PM an exec of the club and they can take it to the committee for you. Everybody is welcome to SAU Events, it doesn't matter what you drive, just as long as you have the right attitude. This event was set up as it was something that the members have been asking for, and the committee tries to accommodate all of its members needs, and takes member feedback seriously.

No, we won't have stickers made just for this event, but you do get a nice shiny sticker in the membership package!

and finally the last of the pics I took.
