i would say that track owners & and lack of promoters would have a reasonable amount to do with it.

having said that, i dont feel that ray box has to align himself with andra, if he wants to make money from this and do it his way, well he is australian and he is entitled to do that. i dont think people should get sandy vaginas over him choosing to run another champioship his way.

i think also the lack of racers supporting events has a fair bit to do with it. also the only a hand full of people in SC have sponsoship makes ithard for people to travel, most people running in the V8 side of andrs in super street and higher ranking classes, a high percentage have sponsorship.

and then theres spectators, we get stuff all spectators to our events which also has a fair bit to do with it.

I agree 100% - Willowbank being in SCP's pocket doesn't help though. They're too scared or too tied up in deals with Ray's crew to run a Sport Compact event in their calendar. FWIW, I enquired some months ago and was told by the track manager that WB Raceway had absolutely no intention of running Sport Compact oriented events in their calendar.

The problem is that the argument was that there was no money to be made out of ANDRA Sport Compact events. Let's give it one go, (Jambo), have a HUGE SUCCESS and then say we can't make money. I beg your pardon? It's about control. SCP events would've been part of ANDRA Sport Compact provided ANDRA gave, "...complete control over the event to Ray." What the?!?

96 pre-entries in SRWD for Jambo - yep, sounds like a terrible turn-out to me....

I agree again but Jamboree was packed full of punters.

Who knows?!?!

adrian, i was refering to the other evetns from jamboree. jamboree last year was not a success due to ANDRA using it as part of their championship, it was successful because people know it will be good as it has been for years and still go.

sydney events you have to agree get f**k all support from racers, more sport compact cars turn up to a wednesday street meet. look how many people on this forum throw there opinion around about why it doesnt work yet havent put there arse in a car at a local SC event. thats my point.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
