I cant believe ANDRA have watered down SC so much in such a short time-2 rounds at the same track...yeah nice 'national' champoinship this has turned out to be. :laugh:

*cough* apportion blame elsewhere *cough*

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.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
