I hope your kidding.....going to a full drag strip to compete in a round of the National Championship with computerised lights and timing system...or...race half track, no timing system, a rolling start and with "biased" people running/judging the outcome, started by some bogan waving a flag.

Go where you like, but the sport of high tech drag racing in this country needs support both in entrants and spectators.

Ill be racing at WSID.

I'll be spectating at Compack Attack...hoping for a decent turn out of cars (and another look at Signorelli's Camrydoor).

Thats the shot...see ya on the 21st.

Perhaps someone in the know can answer this, but what's the likely turn out of racers for this event?

I raced at the last Sport Compact event at WSID and enjoyed the experience (despite the fact I had car trouble!), but from a turnout perspective, of both racers and spectators, it was pretty dissapointing to say the least (which is pretty understandable given that 'stuff all' promo was done for the event).

...just hoping that this one will be a little better

This event is promoted by Ray Box and not WSID

Yes, I'm aware that Ray Box is 'promoting' the event which is great given his success with Jamboree, but what sort of actual promotion (i.e through media for example) is actually happening to attract spectators and competitors to this event?

Not having a go at anyone, I'm just genuinely curious...

[ECR033]

Just to elaborate further on my post above, I think this event has the potential to be a success because it does have a lot going for it...

* It has a good naming sponsor in Toyo and therefore some decent prizes on offer which is a bonus

* Prizemoney should be a good incentive (for those who need it) to hopefully get a LOT of cars out there racing

* ProRWD is starting to get more competitive with Rotomaster's Camrydore set to challenge PAC's MX6 for outright ET/mph honors

* There's a lot of other stuff going on at the event (SnS, DB Sound Off etc) for those who aren't 100% obsessed just with drag racing

The thing that worries me is that I haven't heard a thing about the event through the media, haven't seen any advertising for the event, haven't got my usual mailout from WSID advising of the event and nor have I heard many people talking about it.

I haven't seen an entry list, so I'm not sure how many cars have entered (granted the event is still a few weeks away), I just hope there's a good turnout of competitors to put on a decent spectacle for the crowd.

I guess the point I'm trying to make is that this is a good opportunity for Sydney people to get into Sport Compact, I just hope the promoters really get out there (as best as they can) and make people aware of the event. Sport Compact is a great product, but it won't be a success if they don't get bums on seats and some good racing.

Flyers and posters started going up on friday night. Billy from SportCompactGroup was driving around sydney all weekend like a loony getting the word out there. From what I understand, expect radio as well.

I guess we have to stay tuned.

And the last event was moved, cancelled then declared to be on within a space of 3 weeks - there was no time for decent planning.

Well the weather prediction was fine saturday and light showers sunday however the light showers have arrived already so hopefully that means fine weather on sunday.

[MattSR]

How are we going to know if the event is on sunday or not if the sport compact f**kwits dont put any info up on their website about cancellations/postponements? Same for WSID website....
