sweet! thanks :P

Are you serious? That's pretty piss weak IMO given the cost of the day to entrants and the cost of that Venue to hire.

It was a public holiday, which tends to make it a bit more expensive.

Most days for the same price with timing are mid week work day ones.

Not meaning to be picky but with 52 entrants @ $140 thats over $7K - after track hire (yes I know the price for public holidays - it's the same price as for Sundays), insurance, medics, etc there is still a fair bit of coin left over in that....

I was originally coming to this day but due to my car still being broken I had to pull out but I'd sure be disappointed to have travelled all that way - as many did from QLD - not to get times for an entry fee of $140.

$140 gets you a timed track day down here at Phillip Island on a Sunday (sorry - $145) where the facility hire fee is 2 times the price and insurance has to be with CAMS which is more costly again. So sorry but to me no timing for that price is a bit weak. Just my opinion however and maybe everyone who attends those days are happy.

I dont want to get into a slanging match about it but if you guys think that you can put a closed day on at a Sydney track for less... please let me know!

For the record... After track hire, insurances (which we take on our own), ambulance and staff as well as few promo goodies to throw around, Autosports made a grand total profit of around $200 after that day and infact that was the first time we infact made a profit, normally we loose money and given that we personally are running these events becuase we love to, that ment that the money we were short (at past events) came out of my own pocket. Gota remeber we also have the best driver trainers in the country there with us as well.

Insurance is the big killer as most would understand but saying that quote "certainlysounds overpriced" is an uneducated and stupid comment that i am happy to debate when and where you want!

If you think Wakefield is expensive... you try and do an event at Oran Park or Eastern Creek, this next event that we are doing at Eastern Creek is costing over $10,000 JUST FOR THE TRACK HIRE, not including insurances or anything.

The main reason why we dont have "official" timing is becuase of the fact that poeple want passangers... this has been debated many times and its simply what poeple want. Further, most poeple who are serious about their motorsport and can infact drive have there own timing with them to use.

Again... you tell me how you can do it cheaper and i will pay you $100k a year to come and run a National Calander for eveyone one else that spends every spare minute during and after business hours busting there arses trying to put these days on AT COST for you guys and becuase we love doing it... not for profit

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point.

If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
