Roy Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Do you think Dr.Claw would help Gadget? He-Man would help Skelator? Sylvester would help tweety? Foghorn Leghorn helped the Dog! 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!

Russman Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 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.

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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/183410-congratulations-snowman-and-blaise/page/8/#findComment-3347698 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotsman Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Yeah i'm keen also, I would like advice on getting things happening.. 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 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/183410-congratulations-snowman-and-blaise/page/8/#findComment-3347805 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 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.

Mean_R34 Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 (edited) 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!
