well i already got me and two other cars so were deffinets ay!

[BelGarion]

noise restrictions are still in place i take it?

also at one point mt cotton management had banned "drifting" all together

[EvoMitchy]

skid pan is off limits for drifting, however we will be using the LVMA which is still ok to have fun

90db noise limit

[Rhinorebel]

I would love to come... I have been noise tested at Mt Cotton and passed by 6dB, but on the day, was refused due to my car being a Skyline and they said all I was there for was to "drift"

No amount of explaining helped. No refund was given either.

Not trying to cause trouble, I really want to attend.

no worries Dave- just so you know the LVMA is being hired by a professional driving company that use the Mt Cotton facilities frequently so they are given a fair bit of slack

Also, was your day on the skidpan or LVMA? LVMA is further away from residential property and in a valley- locked off from access once the day begins. I havent seen management come down after it gets started

[TIR60]

when do we get deffinet details of this event?

i know alot of ppl that want to go!

[toddlls]

If this goes ahead PM me pls as I will come along, plus it helps if people don't use 'drift', slide control seems to be acceptable for the crew at Mt Cotton & placates the heretics who live in the area

+ a bit of rolled up steel wool carefully placed into the tailpipe can muffle a fair amount of noise whilst still allowing the car to breathe and may keep people under the noise restrictions for the skidpan, the larger floodable area is in Redland Shire so the noise restrictions are diiferent but still below 96db I think

Should know by tomorrow guys- awaiting confirmation from Mt Cotton regarding dates

[rb26stagea]
