Eoi: Wsid Drag Racing Event

[RP071]

Hi all

On behalf of the ACT Supra Club I am trying to gauge who might be interested in coming to a private track day at Western Sydney International Dragway (WSID) for a Supra v Skyline event held by the ACT Supra Club. We will try and have this event sometime this year (at the worst, early next year) with the prospect of running it as an Annual Event.

At a minimum we will require at least 40 cars to keep the cost down to $200 per entrant. We are trying to keep this to 20 cars of each model. A deposit will be required to reserve your spot for the event within 8 weeks of the event start date. The full amount is required by no later than 4 weeks of the event start date and is non refundable. If you are unable to attend the event after you have paid the full amount then you will have to find a replacement car of the same model car as your own.

What I would like to get from you all is if there is a minimum of 20 Skyline’s here that may be interested in participating in this event. It would be great if we could get 10 from NSW and 10 from the ACT.

As stated earlier, this is a private track day and it is limited to the following access for drivers, crew and spectators:

1 driver will be allowed two crew members and 3 guests/spectators. Basically, each driver can have no more that 5 people excluding themselves, therefore limiting the day to a possible 240 people.

In line with the mandatory rules of WSID, some of the other rules we have been thinking of are:

1. This event is restricted to Supra's and Skyline's only, sorry no exceptions!!

2. All cars must be street registered.

3. All cars are limited to no more than semi-slick tyres.

If there is a car that does not comply with any of the above additional rules but intends on joining us for the day then this car will be excluded from all prizes.

Depending on sponsor availability, there will be prizes available.

Some additional details of the proposed day are:

When: Sunday Date to be finalised

Where: Western Sydney International Dragway

Start time: 8:00 am to 10:00 am for scrutineering

Finish time: 4:00 pm for drivers briefing

Cheers

I don't think you can edit posts now Ross.

Anyway I always said I would be in on this and I know some cheap local accommodation.

So long as the money is guaranteed to be returned if the event does not go ahead or you have to change dates unexpectedly and we can not make the new date (we had some trouble with paintball). Yes I'm in.

Please let us know of any requirements for the car (Fire extinguisher etc).

Hope you posted in NSW section

expensive, calder back in melbourne is only 80 for a night of runs

I would love to know how quick my car is down the quarter, I'm not sure if $200.00 each is such a great price though.

(I know, I'm a tight ass )

[yellowsubmarine]

ill be in but 200 is a little to much for me usually its 50buck at wsid on wicked wednesday let me know if you work something out

[RP071]

I totally understand that the price is a little on the expensive side, but please note that this is for a full day of drag racing for up to 40 vehicles. So if your car is totally unbreakable you can expect a bucket load of runs. I went to WSID a couple of months ago for Wicket Wednesday and only got 4 runs for my $50 and that was no where near enough for me.

I'm in the process of obtaining sponsors to assist with reducing the cost of the day and also prizes for specific classess. eg Naturally Aspirated, standard turbo, aftermarket turbo, burnout, top Supra & Skyline etc....

If 40 cars cannot be obtained then the cost will blow out, that's why I need an indication of who might be interested and if you budget $200 just for racing and if we can be assured of 40 cars, then the price will only get cheaper.

I now have two dates that are available for this year.

Sunday 16 November

Sunday 21 December

The December date might be too hot for the turbo cars, so I would rather doing this in November if possible.

I'll put a post in the NSW section now.

Cheers

I've just had a brief chat with HPI and they are very interested in covering this event.

To give you guys who dont like the price it cost $50 on a Wednesday you get 3-4 runs max. I have been with Rotary/SAUNSW drag day and seen people get up 30+ runs so for the number of runs you get the price is cheap plus there will be like minded people there to help you get your times down.

Hi guys,

Just a quick update for you.

So far from what I can see is that from the NSW Skyline owners, there are 9 interested people pending date. In the ACT we have 1 (John) and 2 that are not happy about the price.........

Looks like this event might be NSW Skyline's v ACT Supra's as I'm having the same problems with the NSW Supra Owner's.......

Guys/gals, I've done the hard work so far, all you need to do is say you're in or out.......

[Teon]

I'm in

[BNR32t]

In for sure, Might have some ford mates interested, are they welcome?

[RP071]

1. This event is restricted to Supra's and Skyline's only, sorry no exceptions!!

[Frink]

i'm in! $200 for a properly organised and exclusive event is a good price. hope this gets off the ground....

[TURISMO]

[LTSJayce]

[RP071]

Any Skyline and/or Supra are welcome providing they comply with the rules of WSID/ANDRA.

If they're willing to come out then there's a spot for them. We have a couple of owners with pretty high HP that are very keen on coming along and they only expect one run............
