Do you think Dr.Claw would help Gadget? He-Man would help Skelator? Sylvester would help tweety?

Foghorn Leghorn helped the Dog! :blink: You kow the type of assistance where you think we are helping but we are really sabotaging your entry. Much like they did with the rotors on our car this year!

Say Ryan, you want a turbo? I gave Mav a HKS turbo you can have!

Hey guys. I'm would like to give this a go next year. What does the whole thing cost all up with accomodation and everything? I was looking on the web site and it said $2790 for this years event. Is that for both the driver and co driver or each? How much do the sponsors help?

I'm keen to give it a go. Need a co-driver too.

OK - I'm back.

The lull after Dutton has gone away (The one where you don't want to look at your car) I'm ready to go fast again.

I'm pumped already.

The use of again suggests past tense. When have you ever gone fast?

As for what it costs? Budget $2500-$3000 each and you will be in the ball park. Its good fun, just make sure you dont get caught spending 5 k trying to make the car reliable/fast etc as its just dead money and makes the event very expensive

Advice = start saving now

Tip1 - Start the event with new tyres, pads, fluid, clutch.

Tip2 - Don't try to upgrade your car at the last minute. Stick with what you know.

Tip3 - Have fun, Don't try to win it.

Tip4 - Think up funny stickers

Dont do what we did and use the semis for the deca just before Dutton. we finished with next to nothing on the rears.

Next year is going to cost around $3150-$3500 for a team entry. Factor in tyres, brakes, fuel and fluids plus accomm (although we stay at the caravan park as usual as its way cheaper) and alcohol spending $$$ and your looking at around $5-6K for the weekend shared between 2 people.

The Event sponsors don't help you at all - except in keeping the entry fee's down to as minimal as possible. But thats not a cost saving you'll ever feel. Other sponsorship is up to you to get. If you are smart you'll do what Bris and Chris did and sign-up a co-driver that will bring sponsors with them. :)

Time for some vids - Check this one out.

The SPC carpark event is one of the "big pressure" events because all the locals come out for a look and the whole field is watching you. It's an event you love to hate, but love it once you nail it. I'm always sh1tting myself before this one!

More vids to come once I get a chance.

Hats off to you Scotsman in the 33 GTR. You sure can drive!

I remember ur drive at Sandown last year!

Big congrats to Snowy & Blaise for taking outright winners of Dutton Vic 2007!

      I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

      Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...

      But if you had to go bury a body in the forest, would you not put that in the boot? Most of them are >=90kg these days.

      That could easily make a horrible noise. +1 to the benefits of: a) Disclosing all relevant information when asking questions such as these, b) Actually going out and having a look at your own car, seeing as you're the one there, and we're not!
